How would a teen get a modeling job? My friends and family say i have the looks to do it, and i figured i might as well try it. It makes good money, right? ;)

The great Hollywood movie mogul, Sam Goldwyn, famously said "the world is full of beautiful women".

Modelling is not necessarily about looks in the way most people think - you don't need to be pretty or beautiful!

For example, you don't have to be size zero to be a fashion model - there are many fashion houses that design for the fuller figure. There are modelling agencies who hire out models with beautiful eyes, hair, hands or feet!

To win in the fashion or glamour industry you need the camera to 'love' you. And to get that you have to be able to project a personality; either yours or that required by the hirer. So go to drama classes, it'll give you an edge in an incredibly competitive world.

Whatever you do, DON'T sign up with agencies or photographers that charge up front to guarantee a career in modelling; they can't and don't!

If you are of a mind to be a fashion or glamour model and you're prepared to put in an incredible amount of hard work then you'll need to hire a professional photographer (check out his/her ability to understand fashion/glamour modelling) to create a portfolio of pictures that demonstrates your versatility in front of a camera. Then you'll have to hawk that portfolio to every agency you can afford to visit.

Sign up with every agency that'll have you but NEVER PAY for the privilege!

If you've got the 'magic' mix of looks and personality you'll soon be in big money; but that magic is very rare. But there is still a living to be made!

Please be lucky!

Have good genetics, and be OK for getting overpaid for nothing.
