You Can Have a Full-Time Job and Model, Too
If you’ve always dreamt of being a model but didn’t know where you were going to find the time to get started, there’s great news: It's entirely possible to pursue a career in modeling while juggling the demands of a traditional nine-to-five or even a schedule that’s all over the place.
As a freelance model you are in complete control of your modeling schedule and availability. You send your availability for projects and then create a schedule together that works or find opportunities that fit within your preferred availability. Yes, it still takes time and energy, but having the freedom to control your schedule maximizes the amount of projects you can work on.
Create a successful balance of your modeling career with these tips:
Time Management is Key: Balancing a full-time job and a modeling career requires excellent time management skills. Start by creating a detailed schedule that allocates specific time slots for work, modeling gigs, networking events, and self-care. Use productivity tools like calendars and task managers to stay organized and ensure you're making the most of every hour in your day.
Build a Strong Online Presence: Having a strong online presence is essential for aspiring models and obtaining bookings. Create professional profiles on modeling platforms and social media channels like Instagram, where you can showcase your portfolio, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and industry-related content. Engage with your audience regularly, and don't underestimate the power of networking online—it can lead to exciting opportunities and collaborations.
Maximize Your Weekends and Evenings: While your weekdays may be filled by your day job, make the most of your weekends and evenings to pursue your modeling endeavors. Use this time for photoshoots and bookings. With a more limited availability you will have to decide which projects are going to be most beneficial to your modeling. Determine bookings based off of what you are looking to gain, whether that is certain styles of photos in your portfolio or a paycheck. Remember, success in the modeling industry often comes down to hustle and dedication, so be willing to put in the extra effort outside of your regular working hours.
Invest in Your Skills: Continuous learning and self-improvement are essential for any aspiring model. Consider enrolling in courses or workshops that can enhance your modeling skills and expedite your knowledge of the industry. Our resource, "The Independent Model Masterclass," is a comprehensive course designed to equip freelance models with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in the industry in order to get bookings.
Prioritize Self-Care: Balancing a full-time job and a modeling career can be physically and mentally demanding, so it's crucial to prioritize self-care. Make time for rest, exercise, and relaxation to ensure you're always operating at your best. Do not overbook yourself hoping that you’ll have the energy when the day comes. Taking care of yourself is not only essential for your well-being but also for your success in your modeling pursuits.
With careful planning, dedication, and a strategic approach, you can absolutely pursue a career in modeling while maintaining a full-time job. The sooner you begin, the closer you are to achieving your goals and making your mark in the industry
