Verified models post profiles. Brands post paid castings for UGC, e-commerce, social and events. Apply, get booked, get paid.
No agency needed. You set your rates, you choose the jobs, and you get paid through PostModels.
Add photos, a short video, your measurements, sizes, skills and rates. Your comp card is created from your profile as a PDF you can send anywhere.
Complete ID and age verification once. Then apply to castings near you or remote UGC briefs with a short note and your best photos.
The brand sends a booking request and a written agreement. You do the job. The payment is released to your payout account.
Post a casting in minutes, review real applicants, and book without agency commission.
Pick the work type, city or remote, shoot date, budget and the looks you need. Add one role or several.
Matching models get notified and apply. Compare profiles, videos and rates side by side, shortlist the best and message them.
Send a booking request with the fee and usage rights. Both sides sign the agreement. You pay through PostModels, and the model is paid after the job.
Brands decide fast. Most of them scan a profile for a few seconds before they shortlist. These details make the difference.
Clear, recent photos. A front headshot, a full-length shot and a three-quarter shot in daylight, with little or no retouching.
A short intro video. Fifteen to thirty seconds where you say your name, city and the work you love. For UGC it is the most important thing on your profile.
Honest measurements and sizes. Fit matters on e-commerce and fashion sets, and wrong numbers cost you repeat bookings.
Rates you can stand behind. Set an hourly, half-day and day rate. Brands filter by budget, so a clear rate puts you in the right searches.
An up-to-date calendar. Mark the days you are free, so brands with a shoot date see you first.
A note that answers the brief. Two or three sentences on why you fit this role beat a long generic message every time.

Note to the brand. Skincare UGC every week. Daylight setup at home. Three hooks in 48 hours.
Most paid modeling work is not the runway. It is product photos, short videos and live events. These are the castings you find on PostModels.
Self-shot videos and photos for a brand's TikTok, Reels and paid ads. Often fully remote, with the product shipped to you. See ugc jobs.
On-figure product photos on a clean backdrop for online stores. Long studio days, many outfits, steady repeat clients.
Lifestyle content for a brand's own channels. Natural looks, real locations, quick turnaround.
Lookbooks, campaigns, showroom and editorial work where fit and measurements matter. See fashion modeling jobs.
Skincare, makeup, hair and nails. Close-up work where skin, hands and natural texture are the product.
Activewear, gym equipment and wellness brands. Real strength and form count more than a look. See fitness modeling jobs.
Brand ambassadors and promotional models for launches, trade shows, pop-ups and sampling. See promotional modeling jobs.
Everyday people for ads, catalogs and corporate campaigns. Adults of every age, size and look. See commercial modeling jobs.
When you book through a traditional agency, a commission of around 20 percent on top of the talent fee is common, plus days of back and forth. On PostModels you post the casting, pick from verified applicants and pay the model through the platform. Your cost is the talent fee and a flat subscription.
No commission on top of the talent fee. The 10 percent platform fee comes out of the booking amount you agree with the model.
Usage rights in writing. You set social, paid ads, print, term and territory in the casting, and they go into the booking agreement.
Contracts and invoices in your panel. Every booking has a signed agreement and a receipt for your accounts team.
Team review. Seats, roles and shareable shortlists on Agency and Studio, SSO on Studio.
The calculator uses the numbers you enter and the yearly price of the plan you pick. It is an estimate, not a quote.
Start hiringThis is an illustrative calculation with typical market numbers, not a customer result. A brand books 3 models for one e-commerce day at $800 per model.
If you run one shoot like this every month, the difference is more than $5,000 a year, before counting the hours saved on emails and calls.

The marketing manager posts one remote UGC casting with the product, the hooks and paid ads usage for 6 months. Creators apply with sample videos, the team shortlists five and books three. The same creators get rebooked next month in a few clicks.
The store needs two models who fit sample sizes for a long studio day with hundreds of items. The casting filters by height and dress size, and the shortlist shows measurements next to every photo.
Each client gets its own workspace and a shortlist link that opens without a login. Producers share picks, clients comment, and bookings stay organized per client.
One casting with several roles, a date, a dress code and an hourly rate. Local models apply, the agency books the team, and every model is paid through the platform after the event.
Safety is built into how PostModels works, not added on top.
Every model completes ID and age verification before the profile goes live. Birth dates stay private. Castings can only target people 18 and older, and that rule is enforced by the system.
Every brand, agency and studio is checked against its business email domain or website, and every one of them pays a subscription. That stops most fake castings before they start.
Clients never ask models for fees. The brand pays for the booking through PostModels, the payment is held, and it is released to the model after the job.
Every casting and profile has a Report button. We review reports and remove castings and accounts that break our rules. Read the full model safety guide and the checklist for spotting fake casting calls.
Browse castings by city, or switch on remote UGC to work from home.

Agencies, social media groups and general casting boards all work in some cases. Here is how they differ for paid commercial, UGC and e-commerce work.
| Feature |  PostModels |
Modeling agency | Social media groups | General casting boards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who is verified | Every model (ID and age) and every brand | Agency-signed models | Nobody | Usually nobody |
| Cost to hire | Flat subscription, no commission | Commission on top of fees, often around 20 percent | Free, but costs time | Varies |
| Cost for models | $9 a month billed yearly, you keep your rates minus a 10 percent platform fee | Agency takes a commission | Free | Often a paid plan |
| Payment protection | Payment held and released after the job | Agency invoices and pays | None | Rarely |
| Written agreement and usage rights | On every booking | Yes | Rarely | Rarely |
| Remote UGC work | Yes | Rarely | Sometimes | Sometimes |
| Speed to a shortlist | Matching models are notified when the casting goes live | Days of back and forth | Fast but unfiltered | Varies |

Free boards are free for scammers too. On PostModels every brand is verified and pays to post, so the castings are real and paid. For models the plan is $9 a month billed yearly, less than one hour of most modeling jobs.
Brands are verified businesses, payments go through PostModels, and no client is ever allowed to ask a model for money. If anything feels wrong, one tap on Report sends it to our review.
You don't need either. Brands that book UGC, e-commerce and commercial work hire freelance models all the time. They want reliable people with clear photos, honest measurements and fair rates.

No. Commercial, UGC and e-commerce brands book freelance models without agency backgrounds. A clear set of photos, a short intro video, honest measurements and fast replies matter more than a long résumé.

Brands
You skip the agency commission, you see verified applicants yourself, and you decide who to book. Matching models are notified as soon as your casting goes live.
You set the usage rights in each casting, for example organic social for 12 months or paid ads in the US. Those terms go into the booking agreement both sides sign.
You pay each booking through PostModels by card. Receipts and booking agreements are in your panel, and your subscription invoices are there too.
Yes. Agency includes 5 seats with roles and shareable client shortlist links that open without a login. Studio adds 15 seats, SSO and an audit log.
