I am a poor college student around the Chicago area and I need to make some money. I know that people make good money modeling for all kinds of things and that good models are not a dime-a-dozen.
I don’t mean this to be vain, but I think I do have a body that is suited for modeling. Even compared to models that I see in magazines I think I have a comparable body. I am about 5′11” 185, muscle everywhere, low body fat, ripped abs etc… (drug-free bodybuilder type) again, I don’t mean to sound vain, I just want to know how I can cash in on my body type, which I consider to be a rare commodity. I never intended to try and look good to become a model, my body is just a result of my years of training as a fighter, but I know that I can also get paid for how I look. All I need to know is how??
I have tried to research it myself but I don’t have any money for an agent or anything, I have no money to invest in it, that’s the whole reason I want to do this, to MAKE money. I also don’t have time to do this like a career. I am a busy guy as it is, and to be honest I am not the least bit interested in becoming a professional model. If such a place exists that I can just show up, get my picture taken and take home some cash for it, that would be great!
Can somebody help me out? There has got to be places that are looking for people like me without making me invest before I get paid… right? HELP ME YAHOO ANSWER PEOPLE!!
