Frequently Asked Questions

Before the Home Model does a photoshoot for her customer, she needs to receive the customer’s product to wear during the photoshoot (e.g., dress, hat, gold necklace). How does she receive this item?

The customer will mail their product to the model’s home. Once the model receives this item, she can begin the photoshoot.

After the photoshoot is over, does the Home Model need to return the customer’s product (e.g., jacket, purse) or can she keep it?

Great news! Usually, models get to keep the customer’s product! This is especially true for inexpensive items. For example, clothes that cost $75 or less.

However, in some cases, the customer will need their product back. This is especially true for expensive items, like jewelry or really nice clothes. When this happens, the model will receive a $50 bonus payment for mailing the item back. So, if the company pays the model $1,000 for her modeling photos, she will receive another $50 for mailing their item back. Plus, the company will pay the shipping cost as well.

How does a Home Model get paid when she sells modeling photos to one of her customers?

If the Home Model finds the customer independently, so without using the “Home Models” website (www.home-models.org), she can choose how she wants to be paid. For example, the customer could mail her a check or transfer the funds electronically via PayPal.

However, if the model uses the “Home Models” website to find the customer, the payment will be made electronically. The website will send the model her money using Zelle, PayPal, or Cash App. The model gets to choose the method she prefers.

As mentioned earlier, after the Home Model completes a photoshoot for her customer, the customer can go through all of the modeling photos from the photoshoot to choose which ones they want to buy. These are digital photos, so they are sent to the customer over the internet. Now, the obvious question is the following: What prevents the customer from simply stealing all the photos from the photoshoot without paying for them?

If the Home Model found the customer on the “Home Models” website, she will upload the modeling photos from her photoshoot to this website right after the photoshoot is completed. Then, this website will apply watermarks to each photo. After the watermarks are applied, this website will show the customer these photos on a special webpage, which displays the photos in a beautiful slideshow format. Once the customer purchases a specific photo from this webpage, they can download the original modeling photo without the watermark.
