hey guys what's up you're watching DLM
model lifestyle and I'm Daniel Maritz
[5]
now in this video I'm gonna answer your
question how much do models make let's
[11]
get into this
[19]
hi if this is your first time on my
channel subscribe and hit the bell so
[24]
you won't miss the next video alright so
how much do models really make the truth
[30]
well I'm gonna cover all of that but
watch until the end so you can get my
[34]
best tips on how to really make money in
modeling so the first important thing is
[39]
guys and girls get paid differently
girls get paid almost two times as much
[43]
as guys I know yeah that is not fair
but that is how it is in the rest of
[49]
the world people complain that you
should not be paid less based on your
[53]
sex right well in modeling guys are
still paid a lot less than girls but
[60]
that being said there are also a lot
more jobs for girls than there is for
[65]
guys now that's not normally a good
thing because there are also a lot more
[70]
girls so the competition for girls is a
lot bigger so how much can you really
[75]
get paid well the truth is you can get
paid anything from absolutely nothing
[79]
nothing nothing yes you're not guaranteed any
money in this industry but it can go up
[88]
to millions yes millions but only for
supermodels and they are less than one
[96]
point probably 0.1% I would say there is
also a huge difference between
[101]
international modeling and modeling in a
certain country international modeling
[105]
that's a lot different you work on
contracts you go to for two or three
[109]
months to a specific country if you work
really well you can extend it and you
[113]
can stay a little bit longer and so in
that specific country they pay you a
[117]
specific amount so that's different some
countries like China pay per hour right
[124]
and some countries pay for a half day and
a fullday and it's all different okay I just
[130]
want to apologize for the noises in the
background because I cannot find a quiet
[134]
place here anyway so please bear with me
alright alright so let's just recap guys
[141]
and girls get paid differently you can
get paid anything from absolutely
[145]
nothing to millions and the third thing
is countries pay differently now I have
[151]
looked at some of the YouTube videos and
I am a little bit shocked by what some
[156]
of the models would say they would say
hey you can get paid anything from 1000
[160]
US to 10,000 per day well that's not
true that's only if you get a job and
[168]
jobs don't come easily if you don't have
a job you get paid absolutely nothing it
[173]
doesn't work like a normal job you don't
get paid per month you only get paid for
[177]
the jobs that you do now you get paid
for different kind of jobs
[182]
there's showrooms there is photoshoots, there is TV
commercials, fashion shows there's a
[186]
lot of different jobs now showrooms and
fashion shows and events they are
[191]
the jobs that well they don't really pay
that well photo shoots pay a little bit
[195]
more but it depends on what kind of
photo shoot you do e-commerce doesn't
[200]
play that well and then you get better
photo shoots where you get paid more if
[204]
it is for campaigns or for stills print
and that kind of stuff and then TV
[211]
commercials man they pay the most
[216]
another factor that comes into play is
models get paid differently because of
[222]
their rank and their experience so what does that mean well when you start out
[226]
modeling you start out brand new you don't
have a lot of good photos and you don't
[230]
have good experience but as the years
pass you portfolio looks at a lot better
[235]
to present to the clients and you have a
lot more experience so you get paid more
[240]
for the jobs now different agencies also
have different reputations and so they
[247]
also have different prices for example
Turkey Istanbul the agencies there have
[253]
different prices for their models so if
you go to a good agency you might get a
[257]
little bit more money if you go with a
so-so agency you might get a little bit
[260]
less money but some agencies are also
very good but they just drop the prices
[264]
so that they can get more jobs so be
very careful when you choose an agency now
[270]
the main question everybody has is how
much does the average model make
[274]
well well to be honest the average model
is struggling to survive
[281]
so they get second and third jobs it's
not that easy to be a model right now it
[286]
used to be a lot easier even when I
started there used to be less agencies
[289]
and less models so less competitions now
what happened is you have Booker's that
[296]
work with an agency for a few years and
then they leave and then they start
[300]
their own agency so the agencies just
get bigger and more so what happens is
[305]
they get more models and more models and
there's not enough jobs for everybody
[310]
that is the truth now some of you have
asked how much do I make Daniel now how
[314]
much money do you make and is it
risky well for me on some contracts I
[318]
have made nothing that just happens it's the
risk that comes with Modeling but some of
[324]
my best contracts I've made up to 30,000
US dollars which is a lot of money right
[329]
but I did not make thirty thousand US
dollars when I started out as a model
[334]
that comes with experience and the more
your portfolio grows and as you grow you
[337]
get smarter with castings in the
countries that you go to in the
[341]
decisions that you make with your
modeling career and you also need a very
[345]
good mother agency so guys what I'm
trying to say here is there is no
[349]
guarantee in how much money you can make
in modeling it's very hard for different
[354]
kind of people and it really depends on
the way you carry yourself
[356]
remember what Gavin said but ultimately
it's about setting your self so can you
[363]
walk into your home and sell yourself
does the client want you to be the name
[367]
and face of that package whatever the
product may be so it's about your look
[372]
it's about selling yourself and it's
about being professional but a lot of
[377]
people don't realize about modeling is
that it is a job and if you're a
[381]
secretary or doctor or lawyer
you show up on time you make your
[385]
appointments you act in a professional
way and being a model it has the same
[391]
requirements so it's about how you
look but also how you conduct
[395]
yourself because it's easy to say I'm a
male model but am i a working male model
[400]
that's where the difference is so yes
your look and your height and your size
[406]
but also how professional are you and that's
what can make you a successful model
[412]
Modeling is grueling especially for
girls because there's a lot of work
[415]
there's a lot of travel you need to be
physically and mentally fit to be a
[420]
successful model you see it really
depends on how you carry yourself the
[424]
decisions that you make modeling can be
awesome you can go to these most amazing
[429]
places but it does come with a lot of
sacrifices and a lot of challenges I'll
[433]
make a video about the cost of modeling
just so you know how hard it can be and
[439]
I'll talk about some personal
experiences that I had in my life I know
[443]
some of these stuff is maybe not
something that you expected but I'd
[446]
rather really speak the truth so that
you know how it really works now I told
[451]
you I will tell you the best ways to
make money if you watch the video to
[455]
the end so here we go
number one build your book up as
[461]
fast as you can if you cannot pay for
photoshoots go online to websites like
[466]
model mayhem and other websites and look
for photographers that are also new and
[470]
they are also looking to build their
portfolios up and then you start to talk
[474]
to them and say hey can we do a photo
shoot where you use my photos for your
[478]
book and I'll use your photos for my
book and then you build a portfolio up
[482]
it might not be that great at the
beginning but you'll have a lot more
[486]
pictures and the clients can see the
different kind of poses that you can do
[490]
and what you can really bring to them
and as time goes on all the jobs that
[495]
you do make sure you write those names
down get
[498]
those pictures and remember clients are
stingy photographers as well sometimes
[502]
they say hey I'll send you the pictures
but they don't I think I've only gotten
[506]
around 30% of all the photos that I did
in my whole modeling career so it's hard
[511]
to get the photos write down the name
and if the client or photographer don't
[515]
want to give you the pictures go and
look for it online when it is available
[519]
second get a very good mother agency
that believes in you and your talents
[525]
it's very very hard and there's been so
many of my friends that just had bad
[530]
agencies that don't believe in them and
they just don't get anywhere with their
[534]
modeling career so make sure you choose
the right agency if they don't really
[538]
care about you
don't stick around get another agency
[541]
that believes in you
sometimes the mistake models make is that
[545]
they try to go for all the big names big
agencies and then they go for them but
[550]
there are so many models and what ends
up happening is that they are just another
[554]
number so they don't get the attention
that they need you need that attention
[558]
especially at the start of your modeling
career but there are also bigger
[561]
agencies that are really good and they
do really care so try to find an agency
[566]
that will really care about your
modeling career and about your own
[569]
future now my third tip is when you
start traveling you go to all the
[573]
international markets right it's a lot
of fun but then you start realizing in
[577]
which markets you work really well for
example you might go to let's say Paris
[583]
and you don't work that well but then
you go to Germany and you work a lot
[586]
then you go to China and it's like not
so good then you go to South Korea and
[592]
Wow suddenly you start to work so you
start to realize which markets suit your
[597]
specific look
and then what you do is after a few
[601]
years you just go over those markets
where you work really well why well
[607]
because you start to build more clients
so when you go the first time you might
[612]
make only four thousand us next time you
go you might make seven then the third
[617]
time you go you might make twelve and
then it just increases because we you
[621]
come back the clients and the studios
remember you and they're like hey
[625]
Paul's back Jennifer is back hey we'd
like to work with her again and so
[629]
your client base grows and that is how a
model really start to make money all
[635]
right my fourth tip is guaranteed
contracts now what is a guaranteed
[639]
contract now a guaranteed contract is
basically a contract that guarantees you
[645]
money it means an agency offers you a
contract where they say hey come over
[649]
here work for us for two or three months
and we guarantee you a specific amount
[654]
of money of let's say four thousand US
dollars eight thousand US dollars or
[659]
more it depends on the quality of model
that you are howput your book is and
[664]
how much experience you have
unfortunately guaranteed contracts are
[669]
only offered to really good models
that's been working for a few years but
[673]
as time goes on and you're book grows
and you grow you will get there
[677]
now I also just want to add that you
don't need to go to a modeling school to
[681]
start modeling if an agency believes in
you they will help you to get where you
[686]
need to go because they are in charge of
organizing and helping your model career
[691]
grow so you don't need a model school
especially a model school that is not a
[696]
model agency there are also model schools that
claim that they can get you
[699]
jobs but it's a lie they just want you
to pay them dont fall for it all right
[704]
