Pimn accepted styles of modeling

Many newer, inexperienced models today never think of schooling first. Too many think that just having a few good images are enough to be accepted by a professional agency.&nbsp;This is far from the truth. There have been many models with great potential and great submission shots, digitals, a short portfolio...that get multiple rejections. But WHY? They LOOK LIKE they have great potential!&nbsp;Because... it's also experience that matters and more than a basic resume' or a certain good look to be a model that is needed.&nbsp;Think of modeling this way...Would you go downtown New York to interview for a corporate job as say a ceo executive assistant...with just a basic resume' and no schooling, limited experience and you are answering questions wrong? Never worked in the corporate environment before?&nbsp;Who do you think they would hire? That person or the one whom has had four years at a university as a graduate in business management and has an associates or bachelor's degree?&nbsp;The one whom answers questions at an interview as hey, how are ya? No smile, shows blah personality, barely shows up on time, slouched in her chair, has a minimal resume', no degree, no Certifications, no experience. Chewing gum, doesn't know anything about being an executive assistant but has simply a desire to be one?Or...The university grad who answers, Good day Sir or Ma'am, I'm here to interview for the executive assistant position with a smile, has her Certifications in administrative assistant, degree from a university, has good posture. Dresses well, shows up before anyone else, shows a great&nbsp; personality, AND...uses great communication etiquette.Which first impression will the Ceo, looking for an executive assistant hire?&nbsp;Point made.&nbsp;Get schooled. Don't be the first one. Be the second one. Get yourself trained to where you don't need to leave an audition, asking random people online is like asking random people in the street why you were rejected multiple times from an agency.&nbsp;Know what you're doing before you submit to a modeling agency or you will continue to get rejected. It doesn't matter if you have THAT MODEL LOOK that some random guy or your girlfriend said you have and you should be a model.&nbsp;GET SCHOOLED. Pro models have model trainers, mentors, managers, websites, video modeling reels, experienced resume', certifications, schooling of a modeling academy and a variety portfolio and excellent communication etiquette. Pimn is a virtual modeling academy network that can also create an extra income! No other modeling academy offers what Pimn does.&nbsp;Or... they will be....REJECTED.&nbsp;WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?&nbsp;Try Pimn...check our qualifications. Any questions, put it on video and submit it with proper communication etiquette to be considered and to have your questions answered to see if you can submit an entry for consideration.&nbsp;Email is on the home page.&nbsp;The less questions, the more skilled you'll appear to be. Reading more may answer your questions. Asking&nbsp; questions that are already answered on the website...will show us you didn't truly read or study the website or blog.&nbsp;Submitting without proper etiquette will show you didnt truly study the blog.&nbsp;Being asked repeatedly to resubmit it, to fix multiple issues will show you didnt truly read the site or blog.&nbsp;FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER.&nbsp;MAKE IT COUNT! To submit it and get it wrong and your score dropping is better than not trying at all.&nbsp;Sending an email saying Hi, I'm Jane, I'm interested in joining your agency please, here are my 4 digitals!&nbsp;Thank you for your consideration doesn't cut it. Sorry.&nbsp;Having a model trainer, mentor, manager is your first step towards becoming viewed more as professional.&nbsp;Using always always always Sir or Ma'am is another elementary step to being viewed as more professional and youll be viewed as smarter than others when you have your act together and your ducks in a row, so to speak.&nbsp;Looking like you should be a model isn't enough.&nbsp;That us like saying to a random lady on the street, you look like you could be a professional dancer! Are you?&nbsp;As she laughs and says, really? Thats funny, I don't even know how to dance! Haha.&nbsp;Can't judge a book by a cover alone. Do remember this if you pass up Pimn. Takes far far more than a smile or a pretty face to be a pro model.&nbsp;Pimn has trained models whom claimed to be experienced and yet knew only about 10% of what is mentioned in Pimn. They showed up late consistently, their texting and emailing etiquette was horrendous, they had no trainer, no mentor, no manager. They were also broke. Pretty, but broke. Some were actually pretty rude. Others had eyes rolled and complaining by photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists. Why? BAD ATTITUDES. EGOS. NARCISSISTIC. RUDE.&nbsp;We dont mean to slam other models but...reality is, pro models are miles beyond many pretty faces whom claim to be experienced, yet never schooled. THE DIFFERENCE IN THE REAL PRO MODELS VS THE FAKE PRO MODELS?&nbsp;THEY ARE LOVED AND COMPLIMENTED AND WANTED BACK. The others are hated, complained about and people say, ohhhh gawd, I never want to work with her again. Please don't have her back Sir! She was rude, late, loud, inconsiderate. Yes, I've heard it all after over a decade working with a variety of models of all types.&nbsp;Get yourself together with Pimn to be the one complimented, asked, wow, you're good and so natural, who trained YOU!?&nbsp;I'm a certified Pimn model. :)&nbsp;What's Pimn? Never heard of them!&nbsp;Pro International Modeling Natwork.&nbsp;Yes, we have had that type response to our best models.&nbsp;Pimn Director&nbsp;

Modeling school before an agency is VITAL

1.Don't be late to appointments, Pimn models stick to their words. They don't keep others waiting and in fact, are EARLY! They are courteous to other pros time schedules if they work or shoot with others.&nbsp;If ever going to be late, they call or txt ahead. Informing why and how late.&nbsp;This is just courtesy to others. A Pimn model strives to NEVER BE A NO SHOW, NO CALL.&nbsp;2.Don't chew gum on shoots. Or atleast...if you do so, do so discreetly, not smacking gum and making it known. It doesn't come off as professional. As nit picky as that sounds.&nbsp;If you want fresh breath, use a breath mint to tuck on the side of your mouth.&nbsp;3.Don't curse around other pros. This is unprofessional as complaining. And especially never curse AT someone. Never yell or get angry. If someone upsets you, control your emotions maturely. Kids throw tantrums and fits, not adults.&nbsp;4.Never gossip or talk badly about anyone. The one you are doing so to may be friends with the one you are talking badly about. Never complain about others or vent to others you're working with. It's not professional.&nbsp;Keep your gossip to yourself and any negative feelings, vent it to a close friend if you need to or even consult your model trainer, mentor, manager for suggestions.&nbsp;If it's your trainer, mentor manager you have issues with, be respectful, maintaining your politeness and courtesy and put it nicely and maturely on a video and your request will be taken seriously.&nbsp;5.Always use Sir or Ma'am if the other pro is at least ten years older. If they aren't that much older, simply using first name is fine. Don't use Mr or Ms unless they say so. Don't call them by their name if they are older and more experienced than you. It's actually considered rude by doing so.&nbsp;It's like calling your doctor John or your college professor Jane vs professor. Those that teach others deserve that much respect as do those older and more skilled.&nbsp;More etiquette tips coming.&nbsp;Keep checking this blog for more info. More on styles of modeling also coming soon, if not already posted.&nbsp;Have fun and be safe on your video/photo shoots.This blog is brought to you by the Pimn Director.&nbsp;

<h2>Flexible Learning Schedule</h2>One of the main benefits of joining a virtual modeling academy is the flexibility it offers. You can learn at your own pace and schedule. This is especially helpful for those who have other commitments, such as work or school. You can fit your modeling lessons around your daily activities without any hassle.<figure id="figure-7u5om6dmmm3w1oyfp"><img id="7u5om6dmmm3w1oyfp" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1176989550/photo/woman-wearing-a-wooden-pendant-and-feather-earrings.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=PoTFi-IdypLcjr5Rozf7FINgjitgrYS2lVI97zQNvIw=" alt="Woman wearing a wooden pendant and feather earrings" title="Woman wearing a wooden pendant and feather earrings" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1176989550/photo/woman-wearing-a-wooden-pendant-and-feather-earrings.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=PoTFi-IdypLcjr5Rozf7FINgjitgrYS2lVI97zQNvIw=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Access to Expert Instructors</h3>Virtual modeling academies often have a benefit of you having an experienced personal instructor or online group training.&nbsp;Pimn models don't just model. They are the most self-sufficient models you'll ever meet!&nbsp;They gradually, over their course of time in training are learning to do hair styling, makeup, lighting, photography, videography, editing their own images and video, own wardrobe, even learning how to help enroll other models they process for their own earnings. They learn how to filter new models that qualify that they can sponsor to earn from. The ones that DO qualify, they refer to the Pimn Director for final approval.&nbsp;As they advance, they study closely the process of enrollment, so they can help speed up the process of sponsoring other models which, in turn...helps THEM earn commissions much faster.&nbsp;Pimn is for models whom dont have the mindset that thinks, "that's just too much for me, i only want to model." This is not a pro Pimn model mindset. Our models are eager to do what it takes to be completely financially independent and working towards that goal of executive model manager and that 25k a month potential!&nbsp;Pimn is more so for the mindset of, "I'm open minded, the more I can learn, the better of a model I'll become! Please train ME! I'd love to do this to earn repeat commissions from home!"&nbsp;Your model trainer, mentor, manager brings model you years of industry knowledge and skills. Providing that Pimn model that qualifies... personalized feedback and guidance to help you improve your modeling techniques. You can learn from the best, no matter where you live!<h2>Cost-effective Training</h2>Attending a physical modeling school can be very expensive. Virtual academies offer a more affordable option. Which would you rather, $1200 to $2000+ entry fees or only $99 a month?&nbsp;Schooling is not free. It never will be to get certified as a professional model.&nbsp;Another advantage...You save on travel costs and other expenses associated with in-person classes. Many virtual academies also offer various payment plans, making it easier to manage your finances &amp; various level packages.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-kgfzs1ixpam3w1ozg9"><img id="kgfzs1ixpam3w1ozg9" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1476989540/photo/confident-black-woman-with-smooth-skin-looking-at-camera.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=sJkqqeczgbBaEyx3BlO1qiPegK8zDH3UzOklxtQ_gq8=" alt="confident black woman with smooth skin looking at camera" title="confident black woman with smooth skin looking at camera" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1476989540/photo/confident-black-woman-with-smooth-skin-looking-at-camera.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=sJkqqeczgbBaEyx3BlO1qiPegK8zDH3UzOklxtQ_gq8=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Wide Range of Courses</h3>Virtual modeling academies offer a variety of courses to suit different interests and skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced model, there is something for everyone. However, all models start on the same level of techniques, photo/video shoots, makeup, hair styling and much more. This allows you to gain a well-rounded education in modeling.<h2>Networking Opportunities</h2>Being part of a virtual modeling academy gives you the chance to connect with other aspiring models and industry professionals. You can join online forums, attend virtual events, and participate in group projects. These networking opportunities can lead to valuable connections and collaborations in the future.<figure id="figure-mkr33zjgthm3w1p0hz"><img id="mkr33zjgthm3w1p0hz" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1967707181/photo/demanding-tutor-using-modern-smartphone-with-tripod-for-online-training.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=cEQnfKWcwGJ0e714pKH5RexQnXi8HkYLAz3FPdzQN6k=" alt="Demanding tutor using modern smartphone with tripod for online training." title="Demanding tutor using modern smartphone with tripod for online training." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1967707181/photo/demanding-tutor-using-modern-smartphone-with-tripod-for-online-training.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=cEQnfKWcwGJ0e714pKH5RexQnXi8HkYLAz3FPdzQN6k=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Personalized Learning Experience</h3>Virtual modeling academies often provide one-on-one coaching sessions.
