Let’s be honest, being talented is just one piece of the puzzle.
The real game-changer? Knowing how to market yourself, connect with the right clients, and make sure every opportunity turns into a stepping stone for the next.
That’s where Thrilla comes in - to help models and other creative talent take control of their careers.
Whether you’re new to the scene or looking to land your biggest gig yet, here are 7 ways to book your dream modelling job (and how Thrilla can help you get there).
Build a Killer Digital Portfolio
Your portfolio is your first impression. Make it count.
- Include professional photos: full-body, headshots, and a few creative/editorial shots.
- Keep it updated with recent work.
How Thrilla helps: Every model’s profile on Thrilla includes a built-in portfolio that clients can search and filter. No need to send files or PDFs - you can showcase your best work directly on the platform.
Get Verified. Trust Is Everything.
Clients want to know they’re hiring serious professionals, not taking a gamble, and verification can often mean the difference between getting booked or overlooked.
How Thrilla helps: We offer profile verification so that clients see you as a trusted, vetted talent from day one. It instantly boosts your visibility and booking chances.
Apply to the Right Jobs (Not Every Job)
Not all gigs will help you get where you want to go. Be selective.
Target jobs that match your style, goals, and pay expectations.
How Thrilla helps: Our next-gen matchmaking system only suggests roles that fit your skills, experience, and preferences. That means less time scrolling and more time booking.
Nail Your Profile Bio
Your bio is not a throwaway. It’s where clients learn what makes you unique.
- Keep it short, confident, and professional.
- Highlight special skills (runway, commercial, editorial) and experience.
How Thrilla helps: Thrilla provides profile tips during onboarding to help you write a bio that sells.
Protect Your Payouts
Sadly, late or missing payments are still common in the industry.
Never work without a clear agreement and secured payment process.
How Thrilla helps: All bookings go through our secure escrow payment system. You’ll always know when (and how much) you’re getting paid. No more chasing invoices.
Collect Ratings & Reviews
Your reputation is your resume.
Positive feedback builds trust with future clients and can lead to repeat bookings.
How Thrilla helps: After every gig, clients leave ratings and reviews directly on your profile. As your reviews grow, so does your profile ranking in client searches.
Stay Active in the Community
The more active you are, the more visible you become.
- Engage with other talents (but don’t turn into a reply warrior)
- Share updates on your bookings and portfolio.
- Keep your availability calendar up to date.
- Post more ‘a day in the life’ style content on social media (people love this!)
How Thrilla helps: Thrilla keeps you connected - update your profile, share work, and engage with verified creatives to grow your visibility and bookings.
