How to Be A Model Pt. 4: How to Get Published as a Model
There鈥檚 a lot of ways to get published, you just have to be creative with it!
Youtube videos: Youtube is a great way to get views. Upload fashion shows, video reels, and more. Views build up on videos, you'll feel good knowing your video got lots of viewers. Invest some time into making a few fashion reels for YouTube and IG and you will love the results!聽
Blogs: Submitting to blogs is a great way to get published. Research blogs that accept submissions and see what submissions or collaborations would be welcome for submitting. Always read the rules to submit! Submitting photos to blogs and media is a great way to get involved and to get published.
Research blogs out there involving the theme of your shoot and see what kind of work you can submit. (This is also a great goal for a project to do with a photographer) Always credit the photographer, designer, MUA, and anyone else that you work with.聽聽
Magazines: Read the rules before submitting. There are a lot of nice magazines that allow you to pay a small fee to be published in their magazine. Some magazines allow you to pay in, in exchange for publication. These magazines help you build community, so don鈥檛 be afraid to invest for a small fee to be featured. Just look up magazines on Instagram. You鈥檒l know your way around from there.
(I followed a few magazines I know of on my IG page. Feel free to browse and see who I follow to get started.)
Supporting these magazines are a great way to support your fellow content creators and give to the community. If you wish to create your own magazine, MagCloud is also an option.聽聽
Your Social Media: Your social media hashtags (#s) can really shine through and give you a spotlight. It鈥檚 a great way to meet all types of people who work with the modeling industry. Posting on your social media with #letsshoot, #letsshootBoston, #BostonModels, and more can get you in the door with amazing photographers, videographers, designers, and others who are interested in shooting.
Instagram:
@ when the photo features a product
# hashtag for people to find your work
Search through hashtags to find people to work with in your area
Youtube:
Post your modeling reels.聽 You can link them as a part of your resume when casting calls and projects come up.聽
Tumblr
Tumblr is a great way to showcase your work. Create your own modeling blog and post your photos and videos.聽
Other Tumblrs
See if you can submit entries to get published on a blog you want as well. Never forget to read the rules to submit, always be friendly and professional.
The more projects you do, the more experienced you will get.聽
The more opportunities will unfold!
Always keep your eyes open for casting calls, or you can create your own! For runway, you can record yourself for Youtube by doing modeling walks and editing the content. For editorial/magazine you can submit your work to blogs that are taking submissions. Always read the guidelines before submitting work. You will find this after researching magazines and blogs online.聽
Apply, apply, apply! Don鈥檛 ever get discouraged if it doesn鈥檛 work out, simply apply to another project or create one for others to work with you on! Make your modeling IG a portfolio of your work. Apply for casting calls on Model Mayhem and also other social media groups. Always keep your eyes open for casting calls. Keep applying, keep creating, keep shooting!聽
Work, work, work! Always look for work or put in the necessary work to create your own. You won't regret it! Always be creative :)
Groups are also fun. If you know a couple models and some photographers, getting a group together to shoot isn鈥檛 a bad idea either. It鈥檚 fun to create community. These are called group shoots. See if you can organize one to meet new people.
Submit your work, credit, and hashtag!
Always be shooting!
Always be safe, happy and well!
