So when your career is based on looks you need to work out a lot and flex those muscles…… Right. There is another way to flex that muscle when it comes to booking work. I’ll admit I’m rather koi about things. When people ask me how I booked certain jobs I just say oh they called and asked. This isn’t a lie but they were provoked to call don’t get it twisted. Pay attention to who is on the project and see if you know somebody or know somebody that knows somebody. Even better if you know somebody who previously worked with somebody. This is more classified under the anteloping category but it will make sense later. If you don’t know what anteloping means you’re way behind in reading my blog go back and figure it out it’s a very important theory and practice. Now flexing that booking jobs muscle. I’m generally unsupportive of name dropping and never say anything that isn’t true. Warning if you lie about something ie that you worked on a project and in reality you didn’t. You never know who did and they may call you out on it.
Firstly, asses your assets and what you bring to the table besides obvious requirements. If this world was fueled by talent we wouldn’t be watching real housewives of dumb bitches or American idol. Now it can be something like helping with promo, connections, resources or any knowledge that is valuable to the client you want to work with. When I work trade shows for clients I do their twitter and make them YouTube videos. After the Cosomoprof show with Keratin Complex I was able to get them ranking on google for safe hair treatment. Movies, I’m extremely knowledgable with film festivals and getting other valuable people on board. I will do anything to promote my projects, including belly flopping on national tv on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Get your foot in the door with what they are asking for and plant yourself there by giving them what they need and you have.
