Modeling on Instagram takes more than just posting pictures; it takes dedication, hard work, and planning. First you must define your style and write your bio – be sure to distinguish yourself while remaining authentic to who you are – then develop a portfolio and posting plan that remains professional and consistent. After this comes building your following through hashtags, engaging existing followers, tagging brands that feature in your photos as well as messaging modeling agencies or tagging them directly so they can see your work (just don’t go too far with this step). Afterward come messaging modeling agencies or tagging them so they can see your work (be careful not overdo it!)
