Questions About Us
Madcow Models is an online resource and community website for the modeling industry. We provide portfolio hosting, the opportunity to apply for jobs and contact other people within the industry regardless of experience - all for free!
No, Madcow Models is a resource and community website. The difference is we do not take any money/commission from the work you may get, we do not represent you, nor do we put you up or forward for work.
There are 3 ways to gain work via the site. The
noticeboard, the
work forum and messaging users/being messaged. All are free to use as a member of Madcow Models.
The quick answer is no, we cannot and will not ever guarantee you will get work. Why can't we? Well, Madcow Models is based upon the idea of users promoting themselves. We give all our users the tools to build an online profile, the ability to contact users and be contacted, we give all users fair and equal access to the noticeboard, work forum and message/PM inbox so what we do, is give you the opportunity to find work for yourself.
You will get out of Madcow Models what you put in. Contribute to the site; keep your profile up to date and have a comprehensive portfolio and you will probably gain a lot.
