Professional modelling isn't about body measurements and looks. It's about your ability to sell products.

Most models aren't being hired for their beauty. They are being hired for their ability to promote, market, and sell products. This requires a very specific set of skills that can be learned. It requires practice and actions, as well as gaining an understanding of how the industry works. Fitting into classical beauty standards is far less important than your ability to help brands achieve their objectives.

This complete actionable guide gives every little detail of the global modelling industry, from how to get signed with a modelling agency to how to develop an international career and build the personality required for success in the field.

Why modelling schools are a waste of money
What agencies really look for and how to get started if you don't fit the classical look
How to prepare an application so good they can't ignore you
What to do if you’ve been rejected? Or haven't heard back?
How to recognise a legit modelling agency
Your Polaroids are so important -- learn why and how to make them well

What is a "direct booking" vs. "on stay" modelling?
How to maximise your jobs using Instagram
How to build a trustworthy relationship with your agent
How to manage your income and personal finances for a safe and stable career
