Because magazines 'option' the work (ie it sits at the bottom of a fucking monster pile), you can't move it else where for sale until as they have first use. So you'll be needing some deep pockets as cash flow is pretty much 0 for the first six months.
Please forgive the split infinitive!
Very, very good point.

Most established shooters are paying top dollar and using a lot of girls, so if you're going via an agent forget about getting a girl who has not been shot before.

Magazines do pile up the work, usually into 3 piles. Guys they know and like and always a sure bet to supply the goods. Guys they know and don't like. Guys they have never heard of.

They go through the first pile, then the second and if they still need something the third.

Jumping the line is important which is why I recommend a visit.
