For those who are Freelance models. Question...
What other websites/avenues would you recommend aside from Model Mayhem or Craig's List to find work? Nov 14 12 05:33 am Link hmmm, are we not allowed to answer her, I'll take a chance: i love tumblr.com though its more of a portfolio site. i have found a few good collaborative opportunities on onemodelplace.com but it's a difficult site to generate much work through without paying. craigslist.org - but obviously checking references etc. is difficult and I have only found it sucessful in the south modeldesire.com - newish mayhem and selective or semi-selective agencies are probably your best bet.

I appreciate the help Nov 14 12 07:26 am Link You can also network through twitter, and facebook....make a fan page...reach out to photographers. Nov 14 12 08:11 am Link facebook (models often have a separate account for their modeling). zivity hit up the meetup.com glamour groups Nov 14 12 08:24 am Link twoharts wrote: These Nov 14 12 08:30 am Link Facebook. Nov 14 12 09:12 am Link I actually find that Facebook really helps. Not only does having a fan page to get your name out there help, but joining Facebook "Groups" for areas that you base yourself in helps a lot too. I just joined one last night and I already have had photographers add me asking to collaborate. OneModelPlace has some people too, but the site runs too slowly/weirdly for my liking so I have stopped using it some time ago.

Model Mayhem 2. Via being in FB groups and responding to casting in those 3. Group shoot situations Facebook groups are really, really good and I see more casting calls and such posted there than any where else now. Nov 14 12 12:58 pm Link Brightonn wrote: be extra careful with CL. I submitted about 50 e-mails to modeling casting calls. I got 10 replies. 5 of them we discussed a shoot with but agreed that we had different interests. The other 5 offered some pretty interesting job opportunities that were NOT mentioned before... private escort, personal "body" masseuse for $500 a week, and a lot of compliments followed by requests for dirty images Nov 14 12 01:11 pm Link You can find photographers on here that do workshops in your area and join (or make!) a FB page for the workshop group! great way to keep in touch and remind everyone of your availability.

Recently I've been doing group shoots for less than my normal rate -- but the tips and handing out my business card to photographers who are interested in an individual shoot has more than made up for it. Nov 14 12 01:20 pm Link What works for me: Post local availability notices and travel notices frequently on MM Browse local people who have logged on in past 2 days sorted by recent activity Post model availability notice on craigslist artist community section (with recent images) browse talent gigs, creative gigs, artists community daily Another art model recommended dropping off business cards at local art schools, it just takes knowing where the art department is and getting in the door.
