Dania Denise Webinar Update #3: New Polls!

If you haven't noticed already, there are new polls related to my upcoming webinar. As always, your input is what will help me be successful with this project so please make sure to vote on these new questions so I can start figuring out a good date and time frame to host the event. Every vote counts!

Now that I know what topic will be addressed, I can start putting together an outline of what I'll be talking about, as well as creating a Powerpoint presentation to be able to show during the webinar.

I may also look into doing a live screen type of feature, where the webinar attendees will be able to see what is happening on my screen in real time. I'm thinking this would be nifty to have if I want to show people how to navigate an agency website or something.

I got some pretty good news, too: remember in my last webinar update how I was told the webcam feature for the GoToMeeting Webinar product wouldn't be launching for another couple of months? Well, I got a call from their customer service this morning, informing me that they have just added the webcam feature to their webinar service. Woot!

The next step is to start testing it and seeing if it will work for what I have in mind for my webinar. There is a 45-day free trial...I plan on setting up my event during that time (why pay for the service if I don't have to? LOL). Even though 45 days is a significant amount of time, I still need to take some time to plan out the webinar, get familiar with the registration process and make sure that potential attendees will be available to participate and--most important--know how to join the actual webinar.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to share the outline of the webinar here on my blog once it's done or if I should just make it a surprise and wait until the day of the webinar. Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter by leaving a comment on this blog post.

Okie dokie, that's it for now. Thanks in advance to the readers that will answer these latest polls and bring me that much closer to getting this webinar off the ground!

Modeling & Pay Rates: How Much Should You Charge?

(This post is more targeted towards freelance models and not those with agency representation, although it may apply to those that have an agent but continue to find their own work.) A part of being a successful model is making money from the jobs that you book. However, being a freelance model comes with many challenges--figuring out what you should charge is one of them. I will say upfront that there are no established black and white rules when it comes to pay rates. Each modeling job is different, each client is different and budgets vary. Ultimately the factors that should influence what you charge should be the amount of experience you have, the strength of the images in your portfolio and the client's budget/needs. Not every client is going to pay what you want to charge. There may be times when you will be skipped over for charging too much or taken advantage of for charging too little. It's going to happen so be prepared for it and do not take it personally. It

What Are Male Models Supposed to Look Like?

The modeling world is filled with women. That's never been a secret and sadly, that often means male models fall by the wayside. There are successful male models in all categories across the industry but the fact that the modeling business revolves around women can make it challenging for newbies to figure out how to pursue their goals of male modeling. It is important to know that because there are different types of modeling categories out there, that means there are also different types of male models. They aren't all supposed to look alike and what ends up being in demand does change every year. Let's break down the common attributes that come with male modeling in various popular categories, shall we? THE MALE FASHION/RUNWAY/EDITORIAL MODEL These are the typical types of models most of us tend to think of when it comes to men in modeling. What is important to know and understand if you're an aspiring male model is that agencies have all different looks

Modeling and Weight

One of the first things I hear potential models ask is what the weight requirement for modeling is. Sometimes that is the main issue they worry about when it comes to pursuing modeling. Let me tell you right now that weight should NOT be one of those concerns. Obviously, the height requirement reigns supreme when measuring up to the modeling standards sought out by agencies. If you meet the height requirements--whether it's for fashion and runway or commercial/print--that is the first step towards starting on the path to modeling. How much you weigh shouldn't be your biggest fear. It is rare that anyone can look at someone and say, "Oh, my gosh, he/she looks like they are 5 pounds over our weight requirement!" It just isn't realistic. If you look at many modeling agency websites, they clearly list the age and height requirements--rarely, if at all do they list any weight restrictions. The general rule of thumb when it comes to weight is that for models who
