Model Markerting

Marketing Yourself as a
Model

Marketing yourself as a model is a
business all on its own and some
people even hire marketing agents
and professionals to promote
themselves. If you have a good
agent, this is what they are paid to
do for you and you should be able
to get by with just having your name
on their books. Sometimes however
if you want to make your own career
and speed things up a bit, you can
also find ways to market yourself
that will not interfere with your
agents rules and policies. Once you
have joined an agency, you cannot
join another one.
One of the first and most successful
ways in this modern age is to find
options on the Internet. These
should be free ways to create
awareness and give yourself more
exposure. You can create a social
networking page such as that on
Facebook where you can upload your
portfolio images and promote your
services. Join as many groups as you
can and even make a YouTube video
for people to enjoy.
You can also find plenty of listing
websites where you can list your
services, photo and details for free to
potential advertisers, designers and
other industry professionals. There
are specific websites like StarNow
that offer this kind of service as well
as job opportunities to models,
actors, dancers and singers only.
Marketing can also come in the form
of getting interviewed on radio or TV
or for magazines. Here you can really
get a lot of exposure and people will
remember your name. You can also
participate in various events that
will get people’s attention. If you
are still looking to get the attention
of designers and branding
companies then why not get a job as
a waiter at one of the corporate
functions or fashion weeks. Your
agent can find out the details of all
the industry events and functions
that you can offer your services for.
Marketing yourself can also come
from getting the right jobs that will
give your career a break. Getting the
career breaking jobs can be hard, as
all the other models are also
competing for them. The best way to
get this break is to be consistent in
keeping in contact with your agent.
Make a friend of them so that they
will remember you. If you don’t ever
follow through with work and if you
don’t keep your portfolio updated
people including your agent will
start to forget you. Don’t let this
happen. Go to every call you are
given and make an impression.
The promotion of products is your
job, so why not use the power you
have as well as the training you
have been given to sell yourself.
Always look great, and have a model
attitude all the time. Sometimes the
best models that are given just the
right break are seen on the beach by
talent scouts or in the mall.
Wherever you go, always look great,
even if you are just wearing tracksuit
pants and a sweater. Don’t let your
guard down at all and soon someone
will take note and give you the
perfect opportunity that you have
been waiting for.
