How to Jump-Start A Stalled Modeling Career:

Hey, you! If your modeling career has hit a speed bump, it’s time for a serious wake-up call. You didn’t sign up for this chasing the dream thing for it to sit in limbo. Your runway’s waiting. Here’s how to stop moping and start moving. You’re gonna thank me later. Come on dust this off and let’s hit the ground running!

1. Reassess Your Brand: Be Unapologetically You

First, let’s talk about your brand. What are you selling? If you’re just showing up and saying, “Hey, I’m pretty or handsome,” that’s not enough. Hone in on your uniqueness. Are you edgy? Chic? Fierce? Dive deep into the essence of you and craft your own narrative. No one can do you like YOU. Got it?

2. Update Your Portfolio, Guys & Dolls

If your portfolio is looking a little dull, drop what you’re doing and refresh it. Get the hottest photographers, stylists, and makeup artists on your side to capture the latest version of you. We can also help with that as well with a reshoot.  Also take a friend and your phone out for a quick fantastic photoshoot, all your new pictures don’t necessarily have to be from a professional photoshoot.  And don’t settle for “good enough”—aim for jaw-dropping. Don’t forget to make a killer digital portfolio for the ‘Gram. Agents are watching

3. Network, Baby, Network!

What’s the point of being a stunner if no one knows you exist? Network like a pro. Go to industry events, (Eventbrite) hit up casting calls, and slide into DM’s—yes, even if you’re a bit shy. You need to hustle. It’s all about building relationships, so make ‘em count. Yes you have your Zcard, but a regular business card will work as well. Those you can give out like candy! 

4. Stop Waiting for the Perfect Moment

Here’s a cold, hard truth: there’s no “perfect moment.” If you’re waiting for someone to discover you—stop. Take action now. Book those gigs, on a casting website, take on new projects, sometimes you might be doing things that won’t pay but the experience is worth it’s weight in gold.  If the industry isn’t calling you, make the phone ring. Create your own opportunities—they’re not just going to magically land in your lap.

5. Learn, Grow, Evolve

You think you know it all? Think again. Every model, no matter how experienced, has something new to learn. Take a class, study the best in the business, use YouTube I like to call it YouTube University and evolve. The industry changes constantly, and so should you. Whether it’s posing, runway walking, or understanding new trends, you should always be growing.

6. Get the Right People in Your Corner

Get a dream team. A photographer who gets you, and mentors like me and our team who’ll give you the real talk. That’s the power squad you need. Stay away from toxic people who drain your energy. This journey is about positive vibes and connections that elevate you, darling. Good Vibes Only!

7. Never. Ever. Settle.

Finally, remember this: you’re here to dominate. Don’t let rejection, setbacks, or negative thoughts get in your way. Channel your inner sass, put on your most fabulous outfit, and walk through those doors like you own them. Because guess what? You do.

Let’s get this career back on track. With your sass, charm, and dedication, you’re unstoppable. And dont you ever forget it!
