Marketing yourself as a model is a business all on its own and some people even hire marketing agents and professionals to promote themselves. If you have a good agent, this is what they are paid to do for you and you should be able to get by with just having your name on their books. Sometimes however if you want to make your own career and speed things up a bit, you can also find ways to market yourself that will not interfere with your agents rules and policies. Once you have joined an agency, you cannot join another one.
One of the first and most successful ways in this modern age is to find options on the Internet. These should be free ways to create awareness and give yourself more exposure. You can create a social networking page such as that on Instagram where you can upload your portfolio images and promote your services.
Marketing can also come in the form of getting interviewed on radio or TV or for magazines. Here you can really get a lot of exposure and people will remember your name. You can also participate in various events that will get people’s attention. If you are still looking to get the attention of designers and branding companies then get your portfolio on our magazine.

The promotion of products is your job, so why not use the power you have as well as the training you have been given to sell yourself. Always look great, and have a model attitude all the time. Sometimes the best models that are given just the right break are seen at the auditions by model scouts. Wherever you go, always look great, even if you are just wearing tracksuit pants and a sweater. Don’t let your guard down at all and soon someone will take note and give you the perfect opportunity that you have been waiting for.
