Models, models, models. Everyone wants to know where to find them.

As I said previously, you really need to learn how to make money before you are out spending money. To do that, you need to license someone elses content and learn to monetize it in a clip store format IMHO. That will minimize your risks.

However, for those who are insistent. Some more tips for you before you recruit models.

1. Have business address, business cards printed, and simple website up with examples.
2. Do not provide too much information up front... On sites, or ads.
3. Develop a three step interview process. Each step provides more info.
4. Make sure you have your model release drawn up. Each girl needs to sign one.
5. You will have more success recruiting from social networks, and secondary sources.
6. I would recommend you have a phone number other than your cell, or home.
7. Filter out models before any face-to-face interview. You want to 'test them' in email.
8. Only 1 in 10, if you're good, will work for you. So expect everyone to be a, "no".
9. Meet the prospects in a public place of their choosing.
10. Models are expendable. They are only as loyal as the $. So always be recruiting new.

There is more to it, but that gives you some basic guidelines for those insistent on recruiting their own models. Having learned the hard way through trial and error, probably thousands of interviews, and the better part of a decade and over 1000 scenes. I would strongly recommend you walk, before you run.

But in the end, it's your money. Good luck!
