@lolachel_: ✨The Unpaid Collab Trap✨ When I first started, I thought every free shoot was an “opportunity.” I told myself it was experience… that it would lead to paid work later. But let me keep it real with you: unpaid collabs won’t build your career. Here’s why ⬇️ ❌ They don’t teach you how to negotiate or set rates. ❌ They attract clients who only want free work. ❌ They fill your portfolio with photos that don’t sell you for PAID jobs. The truth? Unpaid collabs build someone else’s portfolio, not your income. Want to know what does build your career? ✔️ Learning your niche ✔️ Knowing your market ✔️ Building a portfolio that makes you BOOKABLE 💼 Once I stopped filling my calendar with “exposure” shoots and started positioning myself as a professional, I stopped being “just another model” and started getting paid like one. 💜 If you’re ready to stop working for free and start landing paid jobs in 2 weeks or less,drop the word “EARN” and Let’s make your model career pay you back. #ModelUniversity #modeltok #modeltiktok #modelingtips #fentysuperbrandday
