To site owners: how often do you receive an email from a model, photographer, website designer, etc, asking for a job? How often does the sender include samples or a port?

To Potential Models, Photographers, and Website Designers: ALWAYS include samples of your work, aka PORT - which means portfolio - if you are cold-emailing. How else will someone know you are good or not? Give them a reason to reply to your email. If you have something to offer, take the initiative and present it. You greatly increase your chances.

Example of bad email:

Hi!
Are you looking for a photographer?
Thanks,
Ricky

Why it is bad?
- you are not telling us anything about yourself
- there are no samples of your work
- you don't leave any contact info which psychologically tells us you are not serious because you are too afraid of rejection and therefore won't reveal your last name or alternative contact.

Example of GOOD email:

Hi!
I'm a photographer based in Madrid with access to many fresh, young, models that would be perfect for your site. Here is a link to my portfolio:
www.myfuckingawesomeport.com

Gracias,
Ricardo Montebon

Why this is good:
- you are offering fresh young models, which means you took the time to look at our site and gave a thought of what we might need
- you don't waste time with rhetorical questions
- you link to your portfolio
- you have alternate contact methods

Professionally, I'm a website designer. My CV consists of links to sites I've designed and analytics data such as before/after bounce rate, engagement, etc. That's all I ever needed. That's all you need. If you are good, your work will speak for you.

Most people in the position to hire, have very little time to read a 1000 word CV. A lot of human resource people are retards about the positions they are searching for. Do you think a single HR guy responsible for hiring at a company can tell who is a good programmer and who isn't? Then an hour later decide who is a good accountant and who isn't?

So make their job simple: state what you can offer the company that can make it better/more money, and how you did it before. that's all you gotta do. I guarantee you this will get you a job 99% of the time.
