Damn! Great blog by AaronM on Kblogger!
 

AaronM has written a most excellent blog over on kblogger that deals with many aspects of finding and hiring models!

As a program owner, I shoot a lot of my own content and I can tell you from experience that finding good models isn't always a walk in the park, so it's great to read the experiences and tips from quality shooters like Aaron.

Here's a small taste of Aarons blog entry...

Model Recruiting 101

When it comes to recruiting models, there are several way to go about it. I?ve tried a lot of them over the years but NOTHING beats experience. What I mean by this is that if at first you don?t succeed, try and try again. The more you get turned down, the more you learn how to read people and more importantly, you learn how to interact with potential models. Although there is a lot of truth to the phrase: ?It?s not what you say but how you say it.? At times, the most important factor can be what you don?t say at all.

I?m going to list a few different recruiting methods and break down the various ups and down of each one based on my experiences over the years.

The rest is here:

Check it out, it's well worth the read! Great Job Aaron :thumbsup

I would just like to correct Aaron on one statment there.

" If at first you dont suck seed, keep on suckin til you do suck seed ! "

A quote from the great Curly! May he rest in peace!

Aaron could you hit me up on ICQ re: Content? 37 - 2 14--60

yeah really good read.

props...

good job Aaron

Very nicely written, Aaron. It's nice to see these kinds of articles available so some people can possibly appreciate how involved a process it can be to get talent.

nice job aaron :)

Indeed. I just was reading a post made by Raven linking to a thread that Donovan wrote. I thought I clicked to a second page of Donovan's... and kept reading....

Didn't realize til you just posted this link John....

That I had clicked off to Aaron's post on model recruiting. definately a must read for anybody that is thinking about doing model recruitment

I just finished Donovan's blog, it's a good one too. In fact, all of the blog entries on kblogger make for great reading.

I have a great deal of respect for both Donovan and Aaron...I consider it quite a coup that both agreed to blog for kblogger.com....although, I did have to promise Aaron some of Tev's man love ....not sure what Donovan is going to command.

great read :thumbsup

Good reading

I liked it

Wow. Great job Aaron. That was an awesome read. I've been doing this since 1997, and I still got a couple tidbits out of it.

The only thing I can add to it, is if you have a female partner (which I do) then apply everything Aaron just said, except you don't do any of it... let your partner have all contact with models until it's time to shot. I don't approach 'em, talk to 'em on the phone. Nothing. Then it's easy for me to be good cop, and Lori get's to be bad cop, and keep the shoots moving along during outfit changes.

Good read! Refreshing to see someone actually provide indepth advice or knowledge...

amazing blog!

well written aaron - a very common sense approach - it pays to read business and marketing books.

Well done...

Sure. I'll contact you tomorrow.

Thanks for the great feedback everybody. :thumbsup

bravo bravo very good

Intresting read :glugglug

Very Interesting Read... Good Job :)

Good shit, bookmarked.

great job aaron

awesome. good read

aaron has perfected the art of balancing the karma of 'asshole' with 'helpful non-asshole'.

i still am trying to achieve such balance.

And to think...Not long ago you hated me.....Probably still do but at least you are starting to see that there is more to me than just the guy you see fucking around on GFY and posting pics of shooting his guns. :winkwink:

kBlogger is a great resource and with aaronM on board, even better. Great job you two.

Way to go Aaron!

Nice article. Im sure I wont go to recruit new models, but it was a really nice read :)

great reading indeed, while Aaron can be a bitch sometimes he clearly knows his shit

good read! Its not what you say but how you say it <- true!

That was excellent !! :thumbsup

I remember just what Last year over the phone with you ya telling me the same damn things lol Awesome read bro.. Mad respect for ya.
TOM :thumbsup

Not much of a shock really... anyone who knows Aaron knows that he is more than capable of this stuff. He just never had the time to do it before, and still doesn't. I guess that's the part that shocks me :winkwink:

Yeah man....Some things never chage. :)

I hope my advice worked out for you. :thumbsup

Good read there...
