Hello to all my creative new friends - New to MM
Hello everyone I'm in the Atlanta, GA. I'm new to MM and I look forward to working with everyone. I just started photography about a year and 7 months ago so I'm still learning how to do everything. If you have any tips for me feel free to add me as a friend and drop some knowledge in my inbox. Jun 29 15 03:39 am Link Welcome to the Mayhem Good ways to network are on the banner bar at the top of all MM pages: browse, castings, and forums. Browse for models/MUA's in your area and leave comments on images you like, send a friend request (heart icon on profile) or private message (envelope icon on profile). Start a list of model's photos that you think are top notch for models in your area. This can become something of a Rolodex. Make sure that you select the Advanced Options and select an appropriate Logged in within:. I typically use 30 days, but you may want people who respond faster. Otherwise you will get models who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts. Post an availability notice letting people know that you are available (under the castings tab). You are announcing your availability to work on other people's projects. This is for when you want to charge other people money. You can offer trade as well. Search for Casting Calls in your area based on criteria you select. Post a Casting Call letting people know about an idea you have and want to put into a work of art. This is for when you are willing to pay other people. You can offer trade as well. Search or Post Casting Calls and Travel/Availability Notices Official Casting Call Rules - Read Find the talent and resources you need on Model Mayhem Make an announcemnet. Look on the front page for members offering comments for comments, and comment on their photos. Also make an announcement yourself. Post a bulletin by going to My stuff > bulletins. Friends can see the bulletins you post. Be active in the forums, but avoid trolls who start threads just to watch the ensuing flame war. Avoid threads that beat the over GWC's, flakes, escorts, ..., etc. Use the forum search to look for posts on your topic. Make positive constructive comments. Whenever you get published, add some new photos, or accomplish anything in general, post an announcement in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives forum. When people see your forum post the first thing they see is your avatar. It has to be interesting enough for them to want to click on it and look at your portfolio. Share your other accounts on the Social Media User Name Sharing Thread. Rinse and repeat. Good luck in your search!
