WHY BECOME A MODEL MEMBER OF THIS GLOBAL MODELING AGENCY

Would you agree that being registered with one or more modeling agencies does not get you very far, probably not enough to make a living? Not only don’t you get enough contracts, but you also have to pay a hefty commission to your modeling agency each time it finds you a contract, let alone the fact that each modeling agency normally requires that you have a model portfolio specially made up for it at a cost of close to $1,000 just to be listed, without any firm guarantee of getting a contract one day?

There is a better way: join photo-direct.net!

If you are thinking of becoming a model and want to put your model portfolio together, we encourage you to use our site to search for a photographer in your area and try to make an arrangement whereby in exchange for a few free hours of modeling time for the photographer, the latter would take pictures of you and let you have your book for free.

You may already be listed on a site displaying other models just like you, but merely publishing your profile and model photos on a Web site and hoping that eventually customers find you is wishful thinking at best. You need good traffic on the site and a sophisticated but easy to use search engine for buyers to pinpoint the model they are seeking. Can you image a potential customer having to flip through hundreds of pictures of models presented in a random or quasi-random order, and then trying to figure out which one to pick? Time is money; everybody must be more productive nowadays. photo-direct.net not only enables a person looking for a specific type of model to quickly narrow down the selection process to a few that really meet the selection criteria, but we also constantly and actively promote our Web site around the world to build up traffic and generate sales for you. Any person in the world looking for a model can visit our Web site and search our data bank for the right model—who could be you!

Photo-direct.net takes the pain out of selling your work!

Moreover, a model's natural customer is often a photographer or a company who hires photographers for specific shoot assignments. photo-direct.net mainly targets photographers and photo buyers, so your profile is always just a few clicks away when potential customers use photo-direct.net; it is convenient and productive. This is another reason why we can say that as a member of photo-direct.net, you stand a much better chance of being discovered by a potential customer than by other means.

Other unique features and benefits of photo-direct.net include access to Modeling Contract Ads, Hit-Count statistics, Rating System, and Visitor Comments:

- Photographers or Photo Buyers can post Modeling Contracts ads looking for models for a particular assignment or event such as a fashion show or other marketing event. You too can easily find these ads and then make direct contact.

- Get statistics and instant feedback from potential customers and the public in general; you are no longer in the dark. At any given time, you can find out how many times your profile and each one of your model photo have been selected in searches, how many times they have actually been viewed, and how may times they have been put in visitor Model folders (lightboxes), most likely for a more serious evaluation.

- Visitor can look at your model photos and rate them on a scale between 1 and 5. You are the only person though who can read the calculated Rating Average of your model photos and who will know how many ratings each one got.

- While viewing your model photos, potential customers and visitors can post their comments directly on our site for others to read .

We believe that these are very important tools that give you the marketing intelligence that should drastically increase your chances of making more money. Thanks to the Rating scores, Comments, and Hit-Count statistics, you now have the right information to better position your services and better select which model photos to post on photo-direct.net for maximum payback.
