Hiring an amateur model is easier than you think.
Finding an amateur model is an inexpensive alternative to hiring a model through an agency. Amateur models bring a fresh attitude to the job and may not carry the baggage -- or the price tag -- that a professional model would. Finding an amateur model is infinitely easier with the tool of the Internet, giving you multiple avenues to find models. If you have a photographer and the materials you need, hiring an amateur model for your photo shoot will be a breeze.
Instructions
1. Search online social networking sites, such as Facebook, Myspace or Linkedin, for models in your area. Use their occupation search tools to find people who list themselves as models.
2. Find businesses similar to yours that have hired models and see where they found theirs.
3. Ask people on the street. Many modeling agencies recruit from places like malls, so why not just skip that step and go out yourself. Be honest and forthcoming about the project and the commitment you'll need.
