I have been modeling for a couple years and now I have to get my portfolio re-done. And I need money to do it. And I have been asking people how to get money and they keep telling me to wait a little bit. I have done pagents since I was 2 and I quit when I was 13 to begin modeling. What do you think?

whut? \n\nhow old are you and what do you like to do.  It'd be good to find a career doing something you enjoy doing.  Figure out your priorities-- making more money or having more time, for example.

I've personally always known that I want my own business from being very young, which is why i'm in a crappy position at the moment after uni to decide what i want to do in the meantime to get the funds to set up my business...i want to be my own boss and not be told what to do and have to hold myself back.\n\nGood for you and good luck if that's what you decide to do.

OMG, the above two are complete morons.  When is the last time they heard of the norm being:  modeling starting in adulthood??????  Most models begin while teens or younger.  Get a grip.  I'd wager both are parents of ugly children.  Just my opinion.  They stated theirs.  Like as sholes we all have one!  \n\nwww.onesourcetalent.com on big beaver rd in troy.  good luck.

I take it your history is not that good ? \nmost places ask for at least three references for the purpose of showing a habit. So if your last the jobs were not good on your end it could be harder. \nBut it depends on more than that. If they were summerjobs or you were 16 and now you are 21 and more mature they could take that into it.

There are several people in my organization who are only 17, and are making more than $100 a day.  Everything is done on the internet, and no-one asks your age.\n\nThis is something you could get started now, and would continue to be a suppliment to your main career indefinitely.  It could even replace your day job in the future and help you to retire really really early!\n\nEmail me if you are interested in my specific organization, or find reliable sources for several of those types of jobs at this site.

I would really encourage her to finish her education first.  Modelling is incredibly competitive and if she does not make the big time she will need to have something to fall back on sooner rather than later. There's plenty of time still at her age.\n\nIncidentally, my daughter wanted to do this and following footslogging around all the reputable London agencies she was told on several occasions that she was 'too pretty', apparently they only wanted 'quirky' faces!! So its possible your daughter may also be put off by this attitude.

1. What were your goals as a teenager?   Get a stable job/career, earn just enough to provide for myself and my family, to get married and have kids\n\n2. Did these goals change, as you got older? If so, how?   I realize having a job that is stable is vital and now that I actually do have one, it's not just being able to earn enough but I want to grow more professionally. I am planning to take up master's degree spring next year.  Also about the marriage subject, been married and divorced once and this kind of made me see things differently.  I don't pressure myself anymore about starting my own family.  If I don't find the right person, I will choose to remain single and just keep dating.  \n\n3. Did you reach any of these goals? Why or why not?  Professionally, I did.  I believe it's because of hardwork, perseverance and lots of grace from above.  \n\n4. Is there anything that you would change? Why or why not?  Not one thing.  Been through good times and some really hard times but have always chosen to see the positive and learn from these experiences.\n\n5. Describe a typical teenager from your generation. (Ex. Clothes, Popular activities, music)   The gamerooms/ arcade started.  The 80's is most popular for its music and music videos so you find the teenager dressed like their favorite artists in that popular music video.  Fashion-wise, big hair, shoulder pads, tight ankle-length jeans in candy colors (Gosh, I get goosebumps just thinking how I looked like!). \n\n6. What were the pressures that you felt as a teenager? How would you compare these pressures to those that tenagers must face today?   In my time, pressure were from your peers about having a boyfriend or fitting in with a group in school.  Today, these plus sex/ drugs/ being accepted for one's sexual orientation/ dealing with teenage depression/ even guns in school.\n\n7. Regarding your values, who was your biggest influence? Why?\nFrom what my parents taught me through their examples and  from my own experience. Observing people's behavior and how they react to situations.\n\n8. How did the media influence you and your generation regarding appearance, behavior, and your role in society?  Just like today, whatever the movie celebrities/ music artists wore became trends to almost every teenager you can see.\n\n9. What advice would you give a teenager today?  Listen to your parents, they want only the best for you.  Do not let your peers pressure you into anything.  Do not hesitate to talk to someone you trust about any doubt/ question/ or if you just need someone to talk to (could be a parent, sibling, school counselor, aunt/ uncle, friend etc.).

most models have their own portfolio done up by a top photographer. the really good agencies won't charge you. you can get into commercials and try casting calls. many models started out that way.

I’ve heard of people creating web pages asking for money to help them with finances and blasting the page every where; and people really sent them money. \nI finished college in 2005 and I’m still looking for a work it’s really a drag out here.

My philosophy is either love what you do or make a lot of money doing what you hate. You my friend are doing that so hey keep your head up make that money. Make sure to save a lot of it because at some point your going to have to jump ship. You can't stay in that hell hole forever. That way you dint have to rush into the next job and you can pic something you at least like if not love. Good luck holla at me if you want to vent.

Do you have experience? No, get some! There is always someone filming something that could use free talent. You'll also get to use these contacts for the future. Don't waist you time or $$ on buying the 'must have head shots' especially from agents that don't guarantee you work first. If they want to use you, they can pay for the shot. Get my drift? They will tend to use you to subsidize their photography career. Make contacts with student getting into the tech field. They will be the up and comers that need you right now for their projects. Good luck!

This is a good question! Of course you can lose money when ever you go into business for yourself. But let me just tell you my experience since becoming a rep last summer. \n\nI just want to sell makeup on my website, which I list below, but whenever anyone found out I sold Avon, they always said "I love Avon!" or "I buy a lot of Avon stuff, I just never had a rep until you moved here"  So to make a long story short, I am now selling at a 50% profit. \n\nThere are a lot of ways to lose money in sales. I have heard about a lot of ladies losing money because people order but don't pay. Avon doesn't make you pay upfront but my rule of thumb is to only order something IF the customer pays upfront. I have been very polite to my customers when I tell them I only accept cash before I order and they always pay. This way, you are not stuck with a lot of stuff~! Also, you need to refrain from buying a lot of stuff yourself when they have sales, in hopes of selling it, later. You will have the opportunity to buy at discount prices once you KNOW what your customers want. For instance, I have a lot of customers who buy Imari for themselves and friends, so I bought  a bunch wholesale. But this is the only product I buy in bulk.\n\nAs for bags, cheap. samples are inexpensive unless you give them to everyone in the world. Until you start making money, you can get free samples with the new products, like fragrances. I like to buy lots of foundation (makeup) samples, cuz that is the only way to KNOW if it will match. I only give them to ladies who are looking for foundation.\n\nCatalogues: you can buy just a few at first then as your customer base grows, you can buy more.  Shipping is free once every 2 weeks. \n\nAvon is generous with their profit margins. Your first 4 campaigns will reap you a 50% profit, so you might want to get your list made up in advance, especially now that Christmas is almost here!  You might try an open house type party with a bunch of brochures and take orders for Christmas!\n\nI think it is only 20 dollars to sign up. If you are interested and need someone to help you get going...I would be happy to show you the ropes, of course it would have to be online only, since I live in the Southwest.\n\nGood luck in your search for a new 'career'.\nGinny
