It's nice when somebody offers up their time to respond to questions from a large group of people. and it's rather insane to try to answer them.
In times of need - I try to give but my ollady cooked some pop corn so, I'll get to more details when my hands are free.
But if you open yourself up... you should try to give decent answers.
Dude... I type with 2 fingers and I'm hammering the keyboard tonight - ICQ me for more details
He said he was going to talk about model recruitment. I happen to own dormangels so I've done a little bit of it....but it's always cool to share some lessons and tips/tricks.
You reap what you sow - I'm coming from a giving place here and trying to give all that I can. Call me on the phone I can talk 10 times faster than I type. 818-360-4352
So I wanted to get a feel for how he does his model recruitment... word of mouth, ads, online scouting, etc.... asked for his %'s ... i was going to do a follow up ... once he told us all how he tends to find his models. and the answers were ...
% that you approach on the street. (100% of the ones interested)
% that respond to ads (he doesn't really advertise)
% that you solicit online/email (whenever i have time)
% that email you from your sites (a bunch, no real numbers)
Scout 24-7 depending on what works best for you. There is no rule of thumb except that whenever you don't scout - you miss those girls as models 100% of the time.
those responses really didn't answer the questions asked... nor did they help anybody in figuring out what is a good use of time and a bad use of time for model recruiting... cept maybe you could infer that he doesn't like the results of print ads

Well... what can I say? Trying to please everyone is imposible, but I tried.
