The Secrets to Landing a Great Modeling Job Revealed

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Have you been considering a career in modeling? Have you been trying to land the high paying jobs but are not quite sure how to go about it? In order to book a high paying modeling job you have to learn how to stand out from the thousands of other aspiring models out there.

The best selling e-book, The Model’s Bible teaches you step by step how to build a quality portfolio that will stand out from the rest of the crowd, a crucial step to becoming a successful model. Written by Caleb Lane, a highly sought after supermodel with over 10 years experience in the industry working with clients like Calvin Klein, D&G, Kenneth Cole, Guess, DKNY, Armani, D-Squared, and many more. Caleb has the real world experience and industry know-how to teach you exactly how to stand out from the crowd. Potential clients may look through hundreds of portfolios every time they hold a casting for a modeling job. Having a well thought out, professional portfolio is the absolute most important step in coming out on top in this process.

Upon breaking into the industry it is crucial that young models know the difference between a reputable agency and a scam artist. For example, did you know you should never pay an agency to sign you? There are thousands of unscrupulous agencies and modeling schools out there that make their money by taking advantage of starry eyed young models. What usually happens once they have their money is they never get around to even calling their models, let alone book them any jobs. Avoiding scams can be either the easiest or hardest part of beginning a career as a model.

Many new models are also surprised to find out that the best way to get signed with an agency is by using some digital pictures of yourself and an e-mail account. A method that is little known but, highly recommended and preferred among top modeling agencies throughout the world. The fact is, you do not need to waste thousands on professional photography as a new model. The secret to success is pinpointing exactly who to contact within the agencies and how to do it correctly.

Learn why all modeling contracts are absolutely negotiable. It is imperative when signing any modeling contract, whether it be for an agency or modeling job, that you read through it very carefully and know what is negotiable and non-negotiable. Otherwise, you could end up being contractually obligated for a long time to an agency that just does not work for you.

Once the contracts have been signed and you are actually on the photo shoot there are many things you need to know in order to ensure you deliver the best possible product to the clients. It is the way that a model carries themselves on a modeling job that lets everyone know that they are working with either a pro or just some kid that got lucky once. Remember, success in modeling is all about being “rebooked” for jobs. Not knowing the proper on-set etiquette could mean the difference between a long career or a short stint in the modeling industry. The best way to learn how to walk and talk like a professional model is to be taught by someone who has been there and done that in a big way.

The path to finding quality modeling opportunities does not have to be long and mysterious anymore. With The Model’s Bible you will learn everything you need to know in order to succeed as a model for a fraction of what you would spend on a modeling school, conventions, or bogus websites.

Learning How to Become a Model!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Learning how to become a model is a challenging, yet very rewarding path. If you are thinking about pursuing a career in the exciting world of modeling, then keep reading! There are a few things that you must know before you make any major decisions.

The first thing that you need to know in order to save valuable time and a lot of money is that it is absolutely unnecessary to go to any school to learn how to become a model.  This is a surprising fact considering the multi-million dollar modeling school industry and the staggering number of aspiring models that sign up for said schools every year.  The same goes for conventions, seminars, and scouting events. Yes, one can sometimes be “discovered” this way but it is an entirely unnecessary approach and you are likely to spend thousands of dollars in the process. With The Model’s Bible, you will learn how to get your face in front of every top agency in the world for about five bucks and not even have to leave home by using only a digital camera and e-mail account.

If any agency requires that you pay them in order to represent you, run the other way! Models should never pay for representation, period. Agencies that offer this type of agreement will not get you anywhere. In fact, these are the agencies that will set you back and ultimately cost you valuable time and money.

New models tend to think that spending thousands to learn how to become a model and to break into the industry is the accepted norm and that it will take years to get a full grasp on how the industry really works. However, this misconception could not be further from the truth! With credible knowledge and the right agency, you can be on your way to booking big jobs in a matter of weeks. All without going broke in the process.

How can you learn all of these valuable lessons without schools or expensive coaching? The Model’s Bible! That’s how.  The Model’s Bible was written by Caleb Lane, a highly sought after supermodel that has over 10 years experience working in the industry. Caleb has worked with some of the biggest and most exclusive designers in the world including Calvin Klein, D&G, Kenneth Cole, John Varvatos, DKNY, Armani, D-Squared, Guess, and many more. Caleb shares his real world experience in the industry on how to become a model, which agencies work the hardest for their models, what to expect on million dollar photo shoots, and how to break into the industry without spending a fortune on expensive schools and professional photography.

Real World Advice for Choosing a Modeling Agency

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Choosing a modeling agency is the most important decision a new model will make when embarking on a career in the modeling industry. The agency that a model decides to sign with will basically become a second family. Therefore, it is vital for the aspiring model to meet everyone on the “team” and be certain that everyone has the same career goals in mind from the beginning.

One of the toughest challenges a new model will face is weeding their way through the thousands of agencies out there in order to find the ones they “click” with. Many of the lesser known, a.k.a. rip-off agencies, offer potential models free portfolios or comp cards for signing with their agency. Keep in mind that, one should never pay to sign with a company, and rarely is anything ever free of charge, especially at the beginning of a career. Read the fine print of every contract. Usually a “catch” can be found when it comes to these types of offers.

Since the question of finding a quality company to work with is so important, how does the new model decide which ones are good and which ones should be avoided. Finding a quality modeling agency is the single most important step to becoming a successful model. Any model, no matter how beautiful, without a team of agents that are excited to be working with them, is doomed to mediocrity from day one. The fact is that top clients like Calvin Klein, D-Squared, Armani, Guess, DKNY, skincare companies, and the like, will only deal with certain agencies. Unless you are represented by these agencies, don’t plan on ever seeing yourself on billboards or getting mainstream magazine exposure.

The goal of every new model wanting to really succeed should be first to sign with an agency in one of the fashion capitols: Milan, London, New York, or Paris. Being represented by these agencies early on makes it infinitely easier to establish a global network of credible companies to work with throughout your career. Signing early on with a modeling agency that has a solid background and name recognition within the industry is a must as a foundation for any career.

For models living in or near one of these major modeling centers, open calls are the best way to get noticed and ultimately signed. For those who are not living in close proximity to any of these cities, there are ways to get your picture in front of the agents without traveling, and without spending a fortune on professional photography. Did you know that you can submit your pictures to agencies worldwide using a digital camera and never even leave your home? You just need the right contact information.

Submitting photos to a big modeling agency in top fashion locations can be intimidating for new models if they don’t know exactly what they are doing. Models often wonder what they should include in their portfolio and in what order to present pictures so as to make their book stand out from the crowd. Learn how to present your pictures and personality in a way that will have even the biggest clients looking twice.  Ever wondered how you can get noticed before you even have a portfolio?  These are just a few of the questions that all new models should know the answers to before: A) Spending a single dime on professional photography, and B) Before moving forward and approaching agencies.  The fact is that if you know how to approach large agencies correctly you have a much better chance of getting a contract offer.

The answers to these questions and many more regarding the modeling industry can be found in the best-selling new e-book, The Model’s Bible.  Written by international supermodel Caleb Lane.  In his book, Caleb shares his real-world experience that stems from working in the fashion capitols of the world over the past 10 years.  Caleb has worked with top clients like Calvin Klein, D&G, Kenneth Cole, Armani, Guess, Vogue, GQ, and many more.  Visit www.modeling-success.com and instantly download everything that you need to know in order to get your career as a model jump-started and headed the right way!
