Having a good knowledge of what different magazine publishers require from a model and having a good eye for the right type of people could make this the ideal business. As an agent you will be responsible for finding work for the models by presenting them to designers, photographers, and ad agencies. An agent is also responsible for booking the jobs, billing the client, and eventually paying the models for their time. By finding the clients and handling all the details, the advantage to the model is that they can focus on modelling and not on the business end of things. This is currently one of the fastest growing industries in the country so do not be left out.

Become an agent for actors and actresses
An intimate knowledge of film and theatre production companies is a pre-requisite of this kind of business opportunity. It`s not the easiest vocation to break into, but those with determination and a flair for dealing with people, could find this business immensely enjoyable. Getting a foot in the door won`t be easy. Try to gain experience first with an established agency. Learn the ropes then branch out on your own. Take advantage of the growing film industry in the country.
Become a freelance sales agent
There`s a lot of companies who are willing to use freelance sales agents, particularly if they only pay you a
commission when you make a sale. If you have a gift for selling, you should consider working for three or four different companies, providing they don`t have any rules or objections against you representing other firms. As a freelance agent this shouldn`t be a problem providing there are no conflicts of interest. Representing different companies who offer the same type of goods or services will not be acceptable. Start by writing a letter to various firms who might consider your services. Many MLM (multi-level marketing) firms will be agreeable. Also contact companies selling items like computers, insurances and mortgages.
Start an employment agency
Keep updated records of a whole range of companies who can contact you when they need to find new staff. Also keep records and cv`s of anyone who is seeking work in a particular type of job. When you have a match between job vacancy and job seeker, contact both parties to make suitable interview arrangements. Computerised records will streamline the whole process. Charge a suitable fee to employers for your service or apply for government funding. You can even go online with a website for example brightermonday.com or a blog like greatugandajobs.
Start A Follow Up Service
Starting a follow up service is one of the hottest businesses you can start and there is very little or no competition in most local areas. This type of business cost very little to get started. The opportunities are endless. You’ll earn money from business owners who know the importance of keeping in contact with their customers.
What Is A Follow Up Service?
A follow service offers solutions for small business owners who want to keep in contact with new and existing customers. In most cases, the “Follow Up Specialist” develops a series of letters to send customers on behalf of the business owner. Follow up services can also offer additional services, including telephone calls and sending cards on special occasions. Small business owners love this service because they don’t have to do it themselves or hire additional staff. Owners of a follow up service enjoy the profits from a simple low cost business that is easily operated from a home office. In a nutshell, a follow up service is a win-win situation for all parties involved.
