 How to Make Money as a Model

Models earn money everyday in every major city across the United States and around the world. While most of the high-paying jobs are in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami you can find some decent paying jobs in small cities throughout the country. The amount you earn depends primarily on the type of work it is. On average, models earn approximately $150 per hour. Models earn about $300 per day at trade shows and around $75 an hour for print modeling. However, models usually don’t get to keep all the money; the agency that facilitates the contract gets a cut of the model’s earnings, usually around 20-percent. It should also be noted that models only earn money at gigs. They do not earn hourly wages while searching or auditioning for said gigs.
