I was so thrilled to learn that an article that I contributed to the Model Mayhem EDU section a while ago made “The 10 Most Popular Articles of 2012” list. It was the 2nd most read/viewed article in the entire MM EDU section in 2012.

The article that I submitted is called Model Rates: Advice for Freelance Models. In this article, I outlined some things that freelance models should consider before setting their rates.

Factors such as the quality of your portfolio, your look, location, the competition and whether or not you have any additional skills (like hair and make-up) that make you worth the money can all affect your rates as a freelance model.

Whenever I contribute an article to the Model Mayhem EDU section, my goal is to be helpful to aspiring models and to provide them with useful information about the world of freelance modeling.

I’m very familiar with it because I’ve made quite a bit of money as a freelance model and I have also interviewed models who are far more successful in the industry than me. In fact, the income I made modeling helped me get through university and for that I will always be thankful.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say “Thank you” to everyone on Model Mayhem who has read my article and passed it along.

I’m looking forward to contributing more articles to MM EDU in 2013, which I hope will continue to be useful to the readers.

Happy New Year!
Wishing you continued success!
