The ONLY thing that matters is finding models, if you can't find models you're fucked. This being said, what are the absolute best methods to acheiving a high model volume? I really need some inspiration guys, I'm getting really depressed.

And I make money shooting guys, not girls. It shouldn't be too hard but the local alternative paper doesn't bring quality models, and the model recruiter I've been using doesn't bring in a high enough volume. I've tried having more model recruiters but then it's hard to find people that are motivated. I've tried upping the referral comission but that doesn't seem to make them work harder either.

So I'm about to jump off a cliff guys. Is Sacramento my problem? Should I move to Los Angeles? Yes, I know it's the land of overexposed models and overzeleous talent agencies but if that's what I gotta do to find two willing dudes per day, I'll do it in a heartbeat.

If you're shooting guys, I'd try San Francisco. Girls, LA or Miami. With recruiters it's going to be 1 out of 10 if you're looking. Offer recrutiing fees to all your models as well, they can bring in friends or talent they worked with elsewhere.

San Fransisco might be my best bet, you're right. I was thinking that since LA has a much larger population than SF, the gay population would also be larger in proportion.

Every time I ask a guy to bring me his friends, I feel like I'm talking to someone who must live under a rock. The standard response is "nope, don't know anyone... but I'll ask around". I've not gotten one referral from a model other than the guy who recruits for me. I always offer a $100 comission per referral, too.
