You don’t need experience or to be particularly gorgeous or slim. All you need to be is comfortable getting completely nude and having people stare at you.  You also may have to stay still in a less-than comfortable pose.  After breaks you have to remember how your arms were placed, etc.  No biggie! Working for a school you can make $15-$20 an hour or more for a professional artist. Just be sure it’s legit (take a friend if you are nervous).

Best to do it at a school that you don’t attend.

Are you over 18 with beautiful hands or a perfect left eye?  Then you should model your parts.  You can earn up $150-$250 an hour for print advertisements.  Send in professional shots of some part and if they accept you, you can be the next George Constanza hand model!
