Pay rates for life model

Postby birddog114 on Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:20 am

From Radar section of SMH:

* Pay rates for life models range from about $16 an hour to more than $20. Full-time models are generally paid more.

Maxwell/ NuLabs told me the cost of hiring two models (3-4hrs) in last week Monday wedding workshop was $3500.00 :?:

That may be the rate that the model receives, I think the agency will get a bigger slice of the cake.

Of course! work out the figure of $3.5K for say 4 hours, both models received maximum of $400.00 or $500.00, 800 bucks for clothing and make-up, both companies can share a huge windfall + the fees all the attendees paid ($240 or $290/ head). I may start doing that biz:shock::lol: and get more $$$ for lust :lol: :lol: Who's going to join me in this enterprise? :evil:

Apart from that, I can marketting my products to those people! 8)
