    Default Modeling sites

    Im going to actually start doing this modeling shit. not really to make a name for myself or anything, but to give me a little bit of a hobby outside of stripping , my family and A&E.

    I've went ahead and put my stuff up on OMP, Muse Cube..but I did all my stuff for Model Mayhem and seriously it's still waiting approval!

    With the FUCK.

    Anyone else have any other suggestions for sites they've had some luck on , either finding jobs / or portfolios

    BTW anything chicago related or LA is greatly appreciated.

    OMP has the highest traffic, and gets the most communication, as far as I can tell. ModelMayhem has been good, but they do have some site issues going on. These other two are places that are around. I'm sure there's a ton of others.

    It got approved right after I posted this, talk about odd. I like the way it's set up compared to OMP.

    I've actually had an account with OMP since 2003. Their entire site back then was free.

    Sucks that everything costs now.

    I personally think the upgrade is worth it.
    I payed $60 for a gold membership for a year.

    ^ what all is offered on the upgrade etc. Or how do you see it being worth it? I can read all the info their site has but I think hearing from a consumer is a better formed opinion.

    I have OMP, but I never use it. I much prefer the layout, feel and search features of MM. I've had some success putting shoots together on MM. For a free service, I highly recomend it. If you're just looking for a hobby, thats a good site. If you're looking for a career, you probably want to avoid modeling community websites in general.

    The upgrade gets you more pics, better sized pics, but its more than that. The reason I feel it is worth paying for is because it puts you higher up on searches. The higher you are on searches, the more jobs you will get.

    A photog. travelign to Vegas wants to book shoots with models, so he searches models in las vegas. There are thousands.
    To be near the top of that search depends on 3 things.
    1. Your membership level. The mroe you pay, the higher up you are. If yrou free, your towards the end. So..the more you pay, the higher up you are, better chance your seen, mor ejobs you book.

    2. Portfolio views. The more views you have, the higher up on searches you are. This goes back to the mor eyou pay, the higher up you are, so more views you get. It also helps to get a "manager" on OMP.
    It's not a real manager. I have one linked to my account. But when I first started OMP, I linked with a photog who had over 1 million vews to his port. Since he got soo much traffic, it helped get me more traffic. And he wasnt a manager at all, thats just what it's listed as. Of course, if you actualyl have a manager, then you can link with him as well. I just did it this way top get more traffic. He came up #1 on searches in las vegas for photogs so he was good for me to be linked to.

    and 3. ...I totally had a brain fart. I forget. Damn. I was all on a roll and shit.

    NBow, if you have that "manager" yoru linked to, for some reason, getting an OMP upgrade is cheaper. They do not list prices on the site for upgrades, you have to email them directly and they give you a price, I gues sdependant on ho wlong you were amember? Not sure. Anyway...if you got through your "manager" and he gets yo the upgrade, its much cheaper. I payed $60 for a year for a gold membership, but I dont know how much that nromally is. Obviously, platnim plus is the best you can get, and that gives you tons of cool feature,s but just startign out, i dont think is nessessary. ONce you have a bigger port, the featres are nice to have. I woudl go with gold if I were you.
    I mean, it's onyl $60 for a year, but I do think it is worth it. The free membership only gives you 4 or 5 pics. Gold gets you way more. Not sure exactly how many...but I think I have 24 pics on my port right now. SO it must be mor ethan that.


    When I think of the third reason, I'll edit my post..sorry for the brain fart, and for all the typos. I hope ya'll can read what ui wrote, LOL. Cause I dont wanna go back and edit!

    Be aware, Tart, once you set up on OMP your gonna get flooded with replies for shoots. FLOODED. A new member notice gets sent out to all photogs in yrou area, and once they see you, they will all be in a hurry to shoot with you. I was seeing upwards up 50+ emails a day, for a good 2 weeks before it died down.

    Wow, you get 41? I wonder how many I can have?

    If you want...

    I can give yo the name of a guy who you can link to, just to get the discount, and more traffic.
    He's the guy Im linked to, btu we are partners in a business togetehr now...
    It would be totally cool for you to link upm get the discount, and drop him whever you felt like it. it wouldnt hurt him at all eith erway. So if you want it, let me know. I'll hook you up.

    thanks...I'm a bit nervous about linking..esp to someone I dont know. I'm sure he's fine since he's your friend...but my pessimistic suspicious nature wont allow it!

    ohh...you dont have access to asting calls?

    that is anothe rgood reason t upgrade then. I have gotten work from responding to castings before..
    And linking cant harm you at all. Unless I guess, liek in my case, if I linked to a porn manager, that woudl hurt me. Or like, if you l;inked to someone crappy. But they cant see your personal info, or yruo passwords, or anythign p[rivate.

    All they can do is update your port,( which is kinda nice, if they do it, this guy dont) and your referrals go to them as well as you, I think. Thats how to appears to me.

    I can access casting..I think anything above a free membership can.

    Dont they have access to be able to change your profile if they are listed as your manager? It says "The Photographer will have the ability to modify and manage your portfolio. BY ENTERING THEIR ID NUMBER THEY WILL HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR PROFILE" The complete control of your profile is what makes me not want to do it.

    They can add pics, but I believe they cannot remove them ( or maybe it's just that the guys I have been linked with won't remove)
    They do have control of it, but so do you. But..they can't see your private info. Stuff that is hidden from the public. And they don't have your passwprd or anything liek that.

    Granted, you should only do it with someone you trust. Because they could put up all really horrendus pics of you to be an ass. I always preapproved aythign that went in my port. But the guy I am linked to now, its just more cause he's my partner than anythign, because he dont do anythign with my port. The first guy when I started modelign updated for me, and he did help me get a lot of traffic, but he sucked as a photographer, and shot much more adult than I was comfortable with, and firstly, I didnt want ot shoot that type of content, and secondly, I didnt want linked to a crappy photog, and one who shot that style, since that wasn't the direction I wanted to go in modeling.
    ( he had a fat girl fetish, and would shoot really adult, spread type shots of fat women, and he just wasn't good.)
    BUt he was nice, taught me a few things, and helped start things off.


    Oh and I remembered #3 on being higher on searches, and I've said it before, its the daily updating of your port.
