I need to know how to become a model at 13. I have done it for sport stuff when I was little. But now I need to do it for some money for my mother who is sick. How do I do that?

You'll need to hire a good agent. My agent's too busy jump starting my career but he can give you some good references.

Find an agency. They're very inciteful. Also you might want to try out the website exploretalent.com if you don't want an agent taking most of your money. I've tried the site and gotten a few gigs as an extra. Also, there are many model conventions. I recommend that you use the website. It's tough landing a modeling job whereas being an extra you can be paid $15 an hour or up to a hundred. Also the site lists conventions that go through towns. Those pay a whole lot of money!

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
NEVER GO ON YOUR OWN ALWAYS TAKE YOUR PARENTS!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN!!!
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
I will need to speak to yuor parents and make sure that they know what is happening and agree with it before i do any work, sorry but it is a legal issue.

First step, Find a modelling agency, Set up a general meeting and see if you've got the right stuff (nothing worse than jumping in head first to be told you're not pretty enough)
Next, If you have the look the agency may offer you a position with them, If they do that they should help you arrange a photo shoot for you to start your portfolio...
Then, Wait... Wait... Wait... and keep on waiting...
I don't suggest modelling as a serious way to make money when you're 13, But goodluck =)

The top models live and work in New York City and work with the top modeling agencies. It takes many years to become a top model, one that makes a lot of money, for themselves and their agency.
Never look online for modeling agencies. Real modeling agencies do NOT advertise! Ever! Only those that ask for money are online. Never pay a modeling agency, they pay you to model.
If you live in the New York City area, you're in luck and can find a modeling agency for your age range.

Go to apply the reality TV show of "The American Next Top Model" cycle 7 and tell your touching story to Tyra Banks. Then Tyra will give you a deep hug and let you in. Finally, you will be the final 12 models of that TV show.

Some discover paintings inside mannequin businesses, normally as bookers/scouts. Retiring younger with possess profits is handiest an alternative for a tiny fraction of items. In my revel in, the big majority of ex-items conveniently take the effortless direction marry rich guys.

Get an agent. Go to ottomodels.com. I hope you live in Los Angeles. If you don't, maybe they can help you find an agent that is closer.
