Aaron Marcus grew a scruffy beard for a New York casting call, then struggled to improve his modeling website until he found freelance developers on Elance.com. He recommends the platform for anyone needing creative services without technical skills.
Hi, I'm Aaron Marcus, and here's your weekly acting and modeling letter. I know I look a little bit different today. I'm a little bit scruffy here. I've got a go-see in New York, and what they need is somebody who has not shaved for at least 3 or 4 days. And so that's what I decided to do, and so I'll be heading up there a little bit later today. And so wish me luck. Hey, here's what I wanted to offer you all this week, and it's something that I just learned about recently, and it's really— it's pretty amazing. I am having a lot of work done on my website, howtomodel.com, and I searched a lot of different areas to try to find somebody to help build certain things on the site that I just simply can't do. I'm not a programmer and things like that. So I heard about A website called Elance, and it's just the letter E-L-A-N-C-E dot com. Basically, if you need work for anything, you can go to— and I'm not getting paid for this, I'm just offering this information to you guys— but it's Elance.com, and you can post what you're looking for, what kind of skills do you need from someone. It was amazing. I got tons of people making proposals, telling me how much they charge, what they can do. Really? Really, if it's anything from creating an acting reel, maybe a demo reel, working on your website, whatever it is, check them out. I don't know how good they are in the acting and modeling world. I've never used them for that purpose, but for website building, there were some really good people there. Anyhow, I just wanted to share that with you. As always, if you have any questions at all, you can go to my facebook.com/howtomodel. It's a great community of people asking questions, answering questions, and if it's more personal that you don't want to share with others, you can always contact me through aaron@howtomodel.com. So I look forward to talking with you soon. I'm Aaron Marcus.
