I've been trying to work this out for ages. Sometime you see a stunning model, and they really aren't that successful. Then you look at some of the top models - most of them are stunning - but every now and then you see one who is very average.
I know everyone enjoys different things, but what do you think it takes to break through and become a top model? I really can't put my finger on it... It almost seems random who rises to the top and who doesn't.
It's the attitude, how the model interacts with their viewers, how hot their show is, and building a following on social media. All that along with hard work and persistence.
You would think it is that simple, to just show your body off and wait for the dollars to rack in. But in reality, it is really hard work. It's not only connections, luck, talent and other factors. One of the most important methods to success is sales and marketing.
