5 Simple Ways to Become a Model in Kenya

This is how to become A model in Kenya

The most common question that modeling agents and scouts receive from aspiring models is, "how do I become a fashion model?." There is so much information in books, on websites, and swirling around in modeling forums that it can seem very confusing and overwhelming to a new model who is just starting out. Here are 5 simple steps to help you get started.

1

 Take Some Basic Snapshots

In the beginning the only photos you need to present to modeling agents and scouts are some basic snapshots.  They are looking for a nice face shot (smiling and not smiling), left and right profiles of your face and body, a full length shot and a back shot.  Wear form fitting clothing like skinny jeans or leggings and a simple tank top or t-shirt.  If you are comfortable wearing a swimsuit then include a few swimsuit shots as well, either a one-piece or two-piece swimsuit is fine.  Male models need to show the agents their fitness level so it is recommended that male models wear swim trunks or boxer shorts, or wear jeans without a shirt in at least one of their photos.

 Get Evaluated by a Professional Model Agent or Scout

Most new models start their quest because their family and friends have said “you should be a model," or they are the prettiest girl or guy in the school. They may have even won some local modeling competitions. That’s a great start, but it doesn’t necessarily translate into what the agencies are really looking for. It is essential that you get your modeling potential evaluated by an experienced model agent or scout before you invest too much time or money into your pursuit. 

This step can get a little tricky.  How do you determine whether the agent or scout who is evaluating you has the experience and knowledge to help you?  Also, many new models find that they live in a smaller market where many of the agents are affiliated with a modeling school or photography studio. As a result, they may not be getting an accurate evaluation if the "agency" is more interested in selling courses or photo shoots. This doesn't mean that the agent isn't good or that the courses or photo shoots they are offering are bad; it just means that you need to think about what is motivating them to tell you whether or not you can be a model.

 Get as Much Exposure as Possible

Many agencies specialize in only one particular area. Some may only represent high fashion (editorial) models. Others may only represent commercial models, or plus-size, petite, or child models.  If one agency is unable to represent you don’t get discouraged, it’s important that you get seen by as many agents as possible and on a routine basis.  

If you live in one of the major markets you may be able to attend an open call or go-seeat the agency.  If you live outside one of the major markets the best way to get exposure is to send your photos to as many agencies as possible.  This can be a very time-consuming and expensive endeavor, especially if you are making copies of all your photos and then mailing them.  The cost of prints, envelopes, and stamps can easily add up to over a thousand dollars. Another option is to email your photos--but with thousands of photos being emailed to model agencies every day, it is very easy to get lost in the mix.  

To increase your chances of being signed to an agency it is important to work with people who have experience and direct connections to all the agencies in a wide variety of markets.  ModelScouts.com is a great place to start and offers the most legitimate and cost-effective way for you to get the exposure you need in order to be seen by many agents around the world and in the quickest way possible.

 Know the Best Modeling Market for You

The term “market” refers to the various geographical locations in which models work and earn a living.  New York is a “market,” Paris is “market,” Tokyo is a “market," and so on. The word "market" can also refer to the category your particular look falls into such as the fashion market, commercial market, plus market, or petite market.

While the supermodels you see in major magazines and walking the runways for top clients generally work in every market, there are many successful models who only work in one or two markets.  So, even though you may not get represented by an agency in New York or Paris, you could very well be perfect for Tokyo, Singapore, and other Asian markets.  An experienced agent can help guide you to the right market for your particular look.

 Be Persistent

Becoming a professional model is a process. It rarely happens overnight.  Even the models who say “I was just walking down the street one day and the next I was on the cover of Vogue” are exaggerating.

Becoming a professional model takes time. Many of today’s top models didn’t get signed to an agency the first time out of the gate. In fact, supermodel Gisele Bundchen was turned down over 40 times before she was finally signed to an agency.

Stay positive and remember that just because an agency wasn’t able to represent you today it doesn’t mean they won’t be interested tomorrow.

There are more than 400 million active users on Instagram every month, and every day 3.5 billion photos are liked. Use Instagram for business purposes in the right way, and you could have an instant viral marketing success. Use it wrong, and your efforts on the site could be a big empty fail.

Setting Up Your Instagram Account

---

1. Create your Instagram for Business account - It’s easy to make a business account on Instagram.

2. Make a business username - Use your business name as your username. If it is taken, choose a username that is instantly recognized with your brand.

3. Complete your profile - Include a cool, branded photo, a short informative bio, and a link to your website.

4. Connect your account to Facebook - Instagram is owned by Facebook. Connect these two very powerful social media sites to boost your marketing efforts.

5. Pick a scheduling platform for your content - A personal favorite of mine is Later, which makes it super easy to upload and schedule the content I'm planning to post.

6.Create a brand specific strategy - Keep your Instagram content strategy focused on your brand’s unique way of seeing the world. Instagram is a photo (and now video) sharing site. Connect your business with your ‘tribe’ on Instagram in a consistent and particular visual way

Using Hashtags

---

7. Use hashtags (#’s) in your updates - Hashtags are a major part of Instagram. It’s a big way of how users can find you through their mobile Instagram searches. Unlike on other sites (such as Twitter), you’re not limited by character count. Include a few tags (but not too many - or you’ll look desperate) in your posts to get connected.

8. Use brand specific hashtags - Include your business name in some of your post hashtags. Also, use unique tags for particular marketing campaigns you run. For example, if you’re hosting a photo contest on Instagram, make a unique tag just for that campaign. This tactic both promotes your contest, and it gives your consumers a distinct tag to connect with others participants (so they can see their competition!).

Here’s how Dry Soda uses a brand specific hashtag, #fridayDRYday to engage their community, and show off fan photos of the week.

9. Use general hashtags’s - Include general tags on your posts, to be found for your products or lifestyle posts. For example, if your business is a coffee shop, and you post an image of your scrumptious latte, include tags like #latte or even #coffee.

10. Use trending hashtags - Trends on Instagram can happen at lightning speed - and they are often even quicker to go. If you spot a trend, and it fits with your brand, use it. Your post could literally be seen by thousands of interested consumers in a matter a minutes.

11. Run an Instagram Hashtag Contest - A hashtag contest allows your fans and followers to upload photos under a certain hashtag. All submissions are then displayed in a voting gallery on you Facebook Page, website, etc.

12. Monitor your brand hashtags - Your consumers are using your tags to connect with you. Be sure to keep checking your Instagram hashtags’s, just like you would your Facebook Page and Twitter mentions. Respond to comments and concerns quickly, and you’ll build happy customer relationships.

Focusing on Your Customers

---

13. Make your followers famous  - Share follower's photos on your social sites. Show your customers you appreciate them by acknowledging their cool photos, and share them with your Facebook fan or Twitter followers. NOTE: be sure to ask permission to use their photo first!

14. Embed followers’ photos - Instagram now enables you to embed Instagram photos on your website and other sites. Use this, like Starbucks, to show cool images of your brand and product from your Instagram followers by embedding the entire post. Make sure you tell them you’re showcasing their image, to make them feel appreciated, and to get their permission to use it.

15. Like your Follower’s photos - Acknowledge your customers’ awesomeness by liking their photos - particularly if they include your product, or emulate your brand.

16. Comment on Followers’ photos - Engage with your consumers by commenting on cool product related photos they post.

17. Respond to comments on all your posts - If someone comments on your posts, respond to them. This is particularly true when then comment is a question, or even something negative about your brand.

18. @mention your customers - @mentioning is another huge part of Instagram. @mention your followers, your customers, and any other user with great photos of your products. You show appreciation for them, and you get to engage with your market

19. @mention celebrities and other related industry leaders - If your images are about celebs - let them know. They may just appreciate it enough to share it with their followers!

20. Focus on engaging your customer - Post images with your customer in mind. Post about more than your product. Make your business Instagram about lifestyle, and authentically connecting with your customers.
