#becomemodel: 7 tips to help you succeed in achieving your dream!

Be yourself, spontaneous, natural.

The influence of social network reverberates in many spheres of our lives… Including professionals.
And this is even more true for models, especially on Instagram since that is where many initial contacts are made today.

More and more agencies are willing to scour the network in search of new faces.

This idea originally is not bad, but nevertheless it has a major flaw: on the positive side, the model will already have a fan base. With more followers, they will likely be recruited and signed. Virtual popularity is now at the expense of having real model qualities.

An injustice that some models as Tyra Banks denounce, because they are willing to flaunt their private lives in order to earn more modeling contracts.

Here are 7 tips to advance your modeling career and get noticed by an agency:

1: Define your style
Instagram is the virtual showcase of your identity. Don’t just show off your looks, show off your personality and your interests too! Do you like traveling, photography, makeup, or cooking? These are the assets that will determine the brands with which you will collaborate.

2: Increase your visibility
Your instagram page must be public. If your page is private, you are blocking access to potential modeling agencies to discover you. This visibility also depends on your number of followers. A high number of followers materializes your bankable side. People follow you for three reasons: you are inspiring, funny, or your lifestyle is attractive. Sometimes, it’s a combination of all three. What you exude determines your fanbase. Determine why people follow you and exploit it!

6: Use keywords
Keywords are the basis of SEO, so it is important to tag your photos with the right hashtags.
For example, you can use the popular #model or #modellife, #modeling, #instamodel, so
that people can quickly define you as a model, but you’ll get lost behind accounts with more followers. So vary with smaller hashtag that have less competition such as #aspiringmodel or #scoutme. Also, label all of your publications: photographers, brands, places… Don’t hesitate to tag the brands, people, and agencies you want to collaborate with to get their attention!
