Lack Of work

[Archamedes]

Hi there, I am new to this site, I was given this addy by someone so I thought I would give it a go.

Anyway May last year I subscribed to a company that promised loads of work for loads of money and all that crap, and I paid nearly ?500 to join and to this day I haven't had a single thing. I have repeatidly called them throughout the year and keep getting fobbed off with "don't worry, it won't be long" or "I'm surprised you haven't had any work, your name keeps coming up" But I think I have well and truly been conned. So how does a 26 year old male get into the business without paying loads of money for absolutly nothing in return? I am keen for this and have made quite a few amateur videos myself

Lesson One always seems to be "Get an email address"

First reaction, don't bother getting into the business.

Second reaction, would be if you really want to then....

find a producer (maybe from here) who will give you a chance (it will be unpaid) or even pay for a model yourself, find a producer, do a deal with content share, use the pictures to promote yourself.

NEVER...EVER pay for an agent to act on your behalf. I'm sorry to say that you've been conned

Well I am not bothered if I'm not paid to start with, I just wanna get my foot in the door, and work my way from there, If I get recognised and paid work comes my way then fine, just sick of being conned

As a rule now I dont take anyone serious without an email address in their profile.

Without an email address - not a chance !

Hiyas One Eyed, would you know if this is the only event of its type scheduled?

Hi Snake I'm not sure but it depends on how the first one goes. I'm sure there will be though as it is a joint UKAP venture.
