Kristina asks:
Do models have to be bloggers as well in order to increase their visibility with brands?
This is the million dollar question these days. The truth is that being a good model is
still the primary focus for agencies and brands, but we would be silly not to consider
the popularity of bloggers and how brands are working with them. Ecommerce jobs
are the bread and butter of a models career and those jobs are still being filled by
models. If you are a model with a great sense of style, it would not hurt for you to
have a blog or increase your social media statistics.
Dana asks:
How often can I submit to an agency and should I be using professional images or
snap shots?
This is a great question! You can submit to an agency every three to four months. All
agencies are different, but most agencies are looking for images where they can clearly
see your face and your figure. Make sure that if you send snapshots they are well lit,
the light should always be facing you and not behind you. Wear minimal makeup and
you should wear a tank top and leggings or jeans. If you have professional photos I
would let them know you have professional photos that can be seen in a dropbox and
send them the link so they are available if they want to see them.
