Step 2 - Drink plenty of water. A glowing complexion and healthy hair will help you on your way to becoming a model. Your beauty regime is a key element to that perfect model look, so remember your daily vitamins, minerals and at least six glasses of H2O a day.
Step 3 - Think positive. Dedication, enthusiasm, commitment and focus are key attributes you need to be a model. Accept rejection and disappointments and move forward, strive for self improvement and you will get your big break.
Step 4 
- Travel. Opportunities don't always come to you, you have to go out there and get them. If you are willing to travel to foreign cities it will increase the amount of jobs you can apply for.  
Step 5 - Spend your money wisely. Modelling doesn't always offer a stable source of income, so spend your money wisely. To be a successful model and succeed financially you must be savvy with your modelling fee. 
Step 6 - Be professional. Learn how to approach an agency, how to act and behave and learn what they expect from you. To be a model you must conduct yourself appropriately. 
Step 7 - Be careful of scams. Stick to recognised modelling agencies, Models Connect will help to connect you with respectable modelling agencies which can kick start your career and help you become a model.
Step 8 - Keep your head in the game. Remember there will always be plenty of competition from other models looking to be cast for the same job. So always be on time for a casting session and be presentable. First impressions count. 
Step 9 - Confidence is key. Smile, greet people courteously, and exhibit the confidence that you will use to sell products.
Step 10 - Love your work. Strive for excellence. Set your own benchmark.

An educated model is often the most successful. Determine your style of modelling and follow the guidelines above. At Models Connect you will learn to avoid the basic pit-falls and have a great start your career in the modelling industry.
