<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Hey folks I just wanted to comment on this. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I am pretty established as a model actress and singer in the Cleveland area. However, there are times that I have taken a non-paid gig for exposure. In particular, I did a print ad for a country band once with no pay, just a tear sheet. That poster led me to a paid gig in which I will be flown out to LA in Feb 2008 (with hotel accomadations) PLUS pay to shoot a music video.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Now don't get me wrong, I think the majority of the time we all should be paid. I have been fortunate enough to be paid for the majority of work I do... I follow the "4 P's" system. I will consider a job for Promo (exposure), product, print and/or pay. My goal is to get at least 2 or more of teh "4 P's" and usually I do. As an example of product? I am the Spokes Person for Destination Travel 2. I do not get paid much other when I do an appearance or print ad HOWEVER, I get to travel FOR FREE to all over and Destination Travel pays the bill... In the past 6 months I have been to: Atlanta, Miami, San Diego, Tijuana, Sanibel/Captiva Islands, Key West And Naples Florida. If you ask me, not to bad for not getting paid and it is great exposure. Because of my gig with Destination Travel, I landed an on air slot on the radio in Daytona... Interviewed as an upcoming
model/actress from Cleveland. All due to exposure. Hmmm... So tell me, would you not take this job just because it is mostly exposure and no direct pay? I also work with Genesis Hair and Skin. I've done 3 print ads for them for no pay. However, I get the use of their salon and all their products, free laser facials, foot detox, oxygenated laser therapy for the skin and let me tell you IT DOES WORK!!!! A yearly package for these services well over $4,000. So again I ask, am I wasting my time because this job doesn't directly pay? I happen to feel I made out on this deal because I recieved free exposure, print work and FREE Service/Product... Not to shabby...</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I have one final thought to say here. As I stated before I do not comment much on NeoPal simply for the most part I am disappointed to see the community I am part of being judgemental, critical and constantly putting others down on here. I do not think this was what Neopal was intended for. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">And Jean I do implore, if you are going to criticise, then does this mean you have paying job lined up to offer people in our acting/modeling community??? Hmmm....</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">It comes down to this. We are in the Cleveland market, there are few paying gigs (unfortunately) in this area but taking on non-paid roles helps build your resume to get those future paid gigs whether here or LA/NY or where ever. I've paid my dues of working gigs for free and it's paid off for me in the long run and now I get paid quite often and I am doing well for myself. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Thanks,</DIV>
