How to Become a Promotional Model
Have you ever wanted to make money by promoting products in a crowd? This type of work is called “promotional modeling,” and it’s not hard to get gigs. In fact, you don’t need any special training or photographs to start a career. Find out how to quickly become a promotional model, whether as a full-time contractor or just for a little extra cash, by following these steps.
Part One of Three:
Creating Your Image
-
1Take good pictures. There are two types of pictures you need to perfect: a headshot and a full body shot. The headshot is useful for submitting to most companies, because it shows your face in the clearest way. The full body shot reveals your body structure, important when marketers want to produce a particular type of image.
- Neither of these photos need to be professional. You can even take them on your phone. Just make sure the image is clear and free of shadows.
- Do not use a photo of you in a group setting, as this makes it difficult to determine which one you are.
- Do not make a face in any of these photos. Not a “duck” or “kissy” face, not a modeling “hard” look. Instead, use a photo in which you are smiling and appear friendly and approachable.
- Use a tasteful photo in the full body shot, making sure you aren’t wearing revealing clothing or are attempting to be “implied nude.” Wear a tasteful, attractive outfit.[1]
-
2Choose the right clothes. For modeling photos and interviews, the clothes should not be center-point of your photos. Modeling is about selling the person in the clothes, so the viewer should not even feel like commenting on the outfit because they are so drawn to the individual.[2]
- Wear only solid colors. No prints, images, or words.
- Make sure the clothes fit properly; not too tight or too baggy.
- Don't wear jewelry. Large jewelry especially is distracting and can be seen as tacky.
-
3Write a solid modeling resume. You don’t need modeling experience to come up with a good resume for modeling. Instead, if you have very little or no experience, begin the resume with your personal stats followed by experience that suggests you enjoy interacting with people. The final portion should showcase any special skills you have.
- You should find an example of a modeling resume and fill it in with your information.[3]
- Personal stats include shoe size, dress size, hair color, eye color, face shape, body measurements, and any other physical detail you feel would be useful for promoting products. Don’t lie about these things; since you appear in person at gigs, the lie will quickly become obvious and tarnish your reputation (not to mention lose you a job).[4]
- The experience section includes any time you have hosted an event, done public speaking, bartended, worked in customer service, performed or assisted at a trade show, and any number of socially-oriented tasks or work.
- Special skills useful on a modeling resume include speaking another language, singing, MCing, DJing, fighting styles, and anything that could be used in a promotional setting.
-
4Take accurate measurements. For your resume, you need honest and accurate measurements. This is because model recruiters are looking for specific sizes, and if you show up not fitting the outfits they have for you, you lose a job. Instead, take good measurements and put them on top of your resume.[5]
- For women: measure your height barefoot, the bust, smallest part of your waist, the largest part of your hips and bottom, and leg from crotch to ankle.[6]
- For men: measure the neck at the Adam's apple (loosening it slightly with one finger), your height barefoot, waist and hips like women, chest below armpits at the fullest part, inseam from crotch to ankle, and sleeve from middle of the neck (between shoulders) and over the shoulder and elbow to the wrist.[7]killerness . modelling.blogspot.com
