One of the biggest misconceptions on MM is that once you create a profile, the offers will come rolling it. FYI, creating a profile is not enough. That's only the start.

Seek out photographers in your area and NETWORK with them. Even if not to setup a shoot, just making contact and getting your name/face in front of their eyeballs could benefit you down the line. Do not be a bystander to your own success or failure. Be an active participant in your career and your chances of succeeding will be greatly enhanced.

So, GO!!!!!

Seconded!

Good advice, start now.
Most freelancer actively marketing their business take 2-4 years to "break in" to their respective industry

Very good advice!!!

Thank you for the advice Definitely this career calls for more than just passiveness! Thanks for the reminder!

That's good advice, but I doubt it will be listened to.

At one time the local modeling agencies would send their new talent around on 'go see's'.  We normally took a few minutes to meet, look at their book and often began to cement relationships immediately.  Often we did a test shoot if we clicked and then directed a client in their direction when a suitable project happened.
