You probably should put something in casting calls...it might help. 
Where in Fla?  You looking for paying jobs or tfp/tfcd?

One thing we've noticed is that models almost never get responses to posts they start in Casting Calls, so I wanted to let you know (just in case you haven't already seen it) that there is also another option available.  You can use the Browse function to find photographers (and/or makeup artists and/or wardrobe stylists) per state for contacting via the private messaging system:

And may I add that it would be a VERY lucky model indeed who found a photographer or client who was stuck for a model for a paid gig on those exact dates that he/she was perfect for.

Modeling pays for your vacation BEFORE you take it.  Very seldom DURING it.

Hey Joe.  Move over on your soapbox.  Yea I was talking with a model about a good job with me and my trips.  But she seemed to think I was going to let MR. BF come along for the ride.  No way in hell was I going to pay for them to have a vacation on my money.  So needless to say she did not get the job. 

And this has happened a time or two. WORK NOW on my time.  VACATION LATER ON YOUR TIME. BS

Well seeing your site and just 6 photos and 3 are the same outfit and 2 are of the same outfit I think you should be looking for all the TFP stuff you can find to improve you photos and get a lot of different looks to show what you can do.

BTW I am not in favor of TFP since there are horror stories all over MM but when you have a lack of good work you need to find some guys who will try and help you.  Look around the area where you are going, check out the modeling sites and post and post and post.  Then get references from these guys and check them out. Talk wtih the models about did they get their photos and how long did it take.

You should be able to find enough TFP work to make your MM page rock.  And when it does rock then you can ask about paid work.  But if it was me seeing yoru work and you wanted pay.  Sorry but I would pass. But that is just me. bs
