First off, you really have to do a lot of research. Modelling is a highly competitive industry, a lot of people want to make it, but few do.

The best thing you can do is research how famous models got their start. You have to be very careful who you work with also. Make sure they are legit and aren't just trying to steal your money or hurt you. You should start by researching and building a portfolio. Find a photographer you can work with. Get some pictures done and make a portfolio.

Follow some models on facebook and see what kinds of poses they are doing. Try to work on posing and make up. Learn how to network, read articles, get out and meet people in the industry. Be professional too! This is important. Don't show up and complain, thank everyone you meet and be polite. If you complain and are difficult to work with, people won't want to work with you. You would be very surprised at how people act.

it's not that simple hun. lol.

u really need to prove yourself to someone in that industry who is willing to invest their time and money into you. it's a tough one to get into.

maybe build up a portfolio if you're determined. get in contact with some photographers who have connections and see where that takes u.

Take photos of yourself that you consider to be good and then sign up for a modelling agencies. Some modelling agencies don't even look at your photographs before bringing you in for an interview. I know this because I applied to one several years ago.

Start making you a model portfolio full of pictures, height, measurements, and all that. To get noticed maybe make an Instagram and post model worthy pictures. My sister is 5'11 and was suppose to go to a model scout thing but ended up not going.

you need a portfolio, so pictures. then you get an agent. thats the hard part. then they find you the work and take some of your earnings as a way of payment

First you need to work with at least one photographer because you need a portfolio. And there is a website called modelmayhem. com that might help too.
