Nope, unless you have a super-USP, or a shed-load of cash to invest to get up and running. (One of my clients used to spend ?30k on content before launching a site)

Probably best to test the water by shooting stuff to sell to others, and see if you can survive on the piss-poor fees on offer these days.

With times as they are at present it makes more sense for a model to produce & shoot their own bits e.g. film/photos as its money in the bank for a rainy day.
I have been asked over the years to work for countless companies & even though i needed the money it wasn't good business for me to do this & making our own stuff was, this way we (me & John) were in control of our content & it wasn't plastered everywhere which reduces revenue.
Being unavailable to companies made me more popular as a lot then agreed shared content which worked out good for both me & them as we all had footage we controlled.
Even if you don't know how to use your material at the moment still make it as you will learn that later, get a decent HD video camera from e.g. Currys (it don't have to be expensive) a digital camera (10mp or over) & an editing prog & you are away.
Being a known model will give the boost you need to start, being popular you will be able to do content share with other models you know giving you material etc without high costs.
Even if you start as an hobby at first it worth trying, good luck on whatever you decide.
