Hey guys. I have been interested in fitness modeling, supplement industry modeling,etc for a while now. My question is, how do I make this happen, what are the chances that I can do it, how to network to meet the right people?

Any advice would be great, and thanks a head of time

First you need to make sure that you're in shape and have the "look" that is desirable in this industry (but depends on what you want to model for, whether harder or softer, etc.). Competing is a good way to get exposure (and definitely gets you seen by the photographers, magazines, and supplement company owners); most of the successful fitness models in the US competed and did well and that was that. Otherwise, start by building a portfolio, join up on a few sites (i.e. onemodelplace), go to tradeshows/events and get seen, or make contacts within companies, and enter modeling competitions run by companies/magazines, etc. (you can find these on many sites, BB.com for example in the Company Promotions section). You could always approach companies with a proposal, but make sure that you know what kind of models that they use and that your look is what would work for them (remember that it's all about selling product).

See post #2. Or go and ask on a forum where there are more fitness models (i.e. BB.com) or PM them personally; there are not many females here to ask this question to!
