Should add shoe models to your list, if they got size 6 feet and are pretty and fit. On average these models are around 5'5"

I don't remember for my non-nude profile.
I did do a shoot after a week of being on the site, but I answered a casting call for that.

For my nude profile (this one) I got a fuck ton of messages the first couple of days.

Edit: Oh, my bad. Didn't realize we were talking about paid work. Uhh, my non-nude profile was probably like a year or more. I honestly don't really remember. The nude profile I got paid offer right away but turned them down until I decided that I had a strong enough portfolio and weaker images wouldn't hurt my overall image.

I know MANY small models that get work on a continuing basis, through licensed and legitimate agencies without gettin' naked.

I don't know of any legit agencies that sign 5'2" (at least not non-acting in the South East).  They will consider shorter, like 5'7", for the right look and because this isn't NYC.

Regardless OP you will get plenty when you first join, try and work with as many as possible and really grow your portfolio.  As others have mentioned its not about week one but week 21 or later that matter, use this opportunity to learn and show what you can do.

There were offers after about 3 or so days, but it took a few weeks for the stuff I actually wanted to move toward started to pop up.

This gives me hope 😊
