While everyone is social distancing and taking measures to quarantine we would like to offer some ideas to keep your career thriving during this time. More and more clients are needing content for their advertising campaigns.  This presents a great opportunity for talent to work without leaving the comfort of their own home. Here are a few remote opportunities for actors, models and talent.

Product Photography Modeling 

Online retailers need professional photos to showcase their new products & collectionson e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Shopify, & Ebay. Many companies have a budget to find and hire models, but don’t want to spend time and money finding photographers, booking studios, or conducting the photoshoot. That is where you come in.  As a model, all you need is a high resolution camera and photo editing skills to help companies with product photography.  Companies will post their job opportunity with details and hire talent to take photographs with their product.  Rates vary depending on the company but range between $250- $500 for 3-10 high resolution photographs. 

Promotional Videos 

Companies nationwide need promotional videos for their marketing campaigns.  Whether it’s for a website, youtube video, or social media campaign. Video content has the highest conversion rate and companies know this. Hiring actors to promote their product or service on-line is a no-brainer.  Actors have the personality and skills to make a promotional video stand out and generate more sales.  Promotional videos can range from a product demonstration to an explainer video or company overview. The great part is that many of these videos can be shot remotely from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a high resolution camera that shoots video & editing software or application.  Rates for video production booking can vary depending on the complexity of the shoot, editing required and length of content. Budgets can range from $250 – $5000. Not a bad gig working from home.  

Influencer Campaigns 

Social media marketing has become a significant strategy that companies use to reach their ideal customers.  Influencers not only have an impact on buying decisions, but can help a company broaden their demographic and expand their reach.  Influencer talent used to be reserved only for those who have millions of followers, but companies are finding out that micro-influencers have an even more significant impacton their audience and are hiring them to promote their brands. Influencer opportunities are available nationwide and can be shot anywhere, anytime.  A tweet, story, or video can be used to showcase a company’s product or service. Influencer jobs vary in rate from $40- $3500 depending on the number of followers you have, type of post, and social media channel.  Becoming a top notch influencer can prove to be very lucrative.
