"Did you know that super models can make up to thirty thousand dollars a day? Yep, it adds up. Hi, I'm Hazely Lopez. Director of Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling. And today we're going to talk about how much do models get paid? And basically we're going to state that it's ideally going to depend on the market that you're in and of course it's going to depend on what type of model you are. Let's look at an example of course at New York City. New York City is a pretty big place where a lot of models start and they really do a great amount of money. Let's take a look for example the advertising. They can make up to two hundred and fifty dollars per hour for making an advertising ad. For making a tread advertising it can be about two hundred dollars an hour. You can also take a look at the catalog one which can be up to a hundred and fifty dollars per hour. And the best part of all this is that as your actual portfolio keeps growing and you get more experience that's when you can actually be making more money. Also we have the big billboards and other big signs that are nationally, those can be up to two thousand to four thousand dollars a day. It's a pretty big industry, it's very competitive but if you're good at it and you love it, and you ha the passion for it you can be very successful. I'm Hazely Lopez, director of Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling. And just remember all models are beautiful, they just have to be good at what they do."
