One of our models came to us nearly four years ago because she needed some quick cash. During this time we've become good friends with her. She's been to dozens of shows, and met hundreds of people in the industry. She's sat in on meetings between multimillionaires dicussing traffic and conversation ratios. Although she doesn't post on GFY, she understands this business inside and out. And, this model is about to graduate college wth a business degree.

In some cases we get models who show up, do the work, get a check, and go home. But others stick around and learn from it.

While I'm sure there are many "models" on here who are their keeper's posting under their names, there are also many others who own their own program and run it themselves.
Good post. I think you're right. That's all I was saying. There's an awful lot of attention that gravitates towards model threads, and especially threads that were supposedly started by these models. Just leads to a lot of speculation... makes me think about all the manipulative things people do to get a few signups to their programs.
