My OneModelPlace downsized
My OneModelPlace downsized

It is with some reluctance that I reduced my subscription level in OneModelPlace, from silver to bronze membership.

When I first started out I considered OneModelPlace as a good means of recruiting models. The website had a decent design and some handy functionality. However, I now find it increasingly easier to recruit models via other sites.

Part of OMPs problem is that it hasn't evolved. The services it charges a premium for are being offered for a lower cost, or free, elsewhere. Its pricing structure has not changed, as far as I am aware, in the few years in wihch I have been a member. Thanks to technologies like PhpBB it is getting pretty easy to set up your own DIY community site and many photographers and models are choosing to do just that.

The other major problem I have with OMP is that its a pretty US-centred site. The site doesn't understand regions within countries outside the United States with the result that its location-based search facilities are not that useful. When I search for models I am more interested in whether she lives close to me than whether she is 5'4" or 5'8'' and I am sure this is true of most other photographers.

The subscription fee I was being charged was my biggest single web-hosting/site membership cost and about half my hosting/marketing budget. For the same amount of money I can get a podcast hosting account (so that I can distribute video and audio) plus another domain name or two, which is probably going to be a better way of marketing myself.

I totally know what you mean! My OMP account expired and I just let it go... and die! I've been with Model Mayhem (MM#9030) for a while now and even though I live in Shanghai (China) I've been getting a few responses per month (and quite a few hits on the website - all for free!

best of luck!

My partner and I started perfectpose.com because we were asked to by people using onemodelplace, all of our service is free, but you can pay $29.95/year for more galleries. I'm curious of what your opinion is about our direction, if we are close to hitting the mark or not.

Brett... is a pompous ass
I am sorry to hear about your issue with OMP. I myself have been a member since 2001 and have only had one problem with them- they didn't honor my free upgrade when I won a online modeling contest in XXX a year ago (I actually met Brett there; he's a pompous ass, to be honest, and about 300 pounds). But all in all, OMP is actually a decent site to hold your portfolio and you have access to thousands of others in the industry, if you don't ever run into any problems. Why not try ModelMayhem.com... I actually get more photographers approaching me for work there....good luck!

paypal note
I was just reading your blog. I am new to Chicago and tying to find agents and the agencies here and I am glad you put your Blog.

On thing that may help you is even if you lost the claim on paypal you can try calling your credit card company that you have on file with paypal and they will most likely be able to help you.

I have learned this because I have been ripped off just recently on ebay for a purchase that I did. Let me know if you need help. Take Care, J

very unprofessional...
My experience with OMP has been that very few of the models have ever showed up for scheduled tests. Most of the people I have contacted through that site seemed very unprofessional. I tried OMP when it was free, but haven't used them in years.

Welcome to my hell.

Say something bad, get booted. Brett did that to me a few years ago. Honestly, OMP is full of fuckheads anyway. All the inexperienced models are there not to gain experience but to make a quick buck. If you're in the porn industry, then you'll find a lot of people looking for a quick buck. If you're looking for models to respond.. best of luck.

I canned my subscription.. not worth it at ALL. Hell, they wouldn't even let me drop back to a bronze account, just to keep my number.. and I've been there since the beginning, as I was member XXXX. They don't give a shit.

OMP disgrace
This site is a disgrace
Disgusted "Disgusted" (Phila. Pa) -
The people at OMP should be ashamed of themselves they allow nude photos of women to be posted next to photos of children. I dont know much about the law but they have to be walking a fine line. They do not screen any people and recently a model met a photographer through omp in philadelphia and was murdered after the shoot. OMP is a DISGRACE.

***Editors Note***
OMP does limit searches for non-paying members on the nude searches. And as of this writing you do not have to be a member to view profiles that contain nudity. And OMP has a stick policy on the type of nude work that is show, but again it is a fine line.

Hello everyone out in Internet land!

I just wanted to say to everyone out there that onemodelplace.com sucks ass! I can't begin to tell you how much I hate this company! And brett@onemodelplace.com is also a self acclaimed god... or at lease he would think so. They are thieves to the highest degree! Stealing your money; with no recourse or appeal.

SO I ask you this. Email me if you have been wronged by this company, or have had nasty dealings with them. I want all your stories; I want to compile stories and claims about onemodelplace.com, to prove to the world what they really are!

I also urge you to cancel your account with them if you have one, and utilize this great resource call myspace.com for your modeling or photography adventures.

onemodelplace is a dinosaur and has lost all momentum forward as a portfolio site.

Peace

John,

One would figure a person that takes good pic's would at least have a clue, but Cleary you have smelled to much welding gas or other toxic chemicals

No accounting for brains / and taste.

Just because something is free, doesnot make it better.. I would guess you try and charge for your images..

I think you should give them away free.. why not, all you do is snap the shutter..

Asshole...

Oh maybe you do give away your work, this is why you don't have the 10 bucks for the year... lol....

If a member cannot afford 10 bucks I don't want the cheap asshole emailing my models..good luck on myspace...

I agree with you there. I signed up with the site along time ago and supposedly I've had almost 500 hits on it but I can't check it of course unless I sign up for at least a silver package or whatever. I'm way poor and there's no way I could afford their services. That's why I'm on there in the first place-to get a paying job so I can pay for stuff! Anyway, yah, One Model Place sucks!

OMP IS A HUGE SCAM, THEY HAD TO CHANGE THERE NAME 3 X AND THERE TOTALY FRAUDULENT AND BOGUS! IM ONE OF MANY RIPPED OFF MODELS THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF WITH THERE FAKE CASTINGS AND ESCORT WEB SITE!! MORE GIRLS NEED TO COME FORWARD
john.peterman@gmail.com said...
*Note: OMP doesn't post castings calls them self, but provides a place for people/companies to list casting calls. It is hard to police every casting call posted with their current closed system.

It would be nice if they added a flagging system like in craigslist

The same as above goes for the escort site postings.

I am not aware of them changing names. Could you please list the names that have changed.

I cant say they are a scam but I do say they do abuse the end user and don't do enough to improve the users experience (aka effective policing of castings).

In one of your earlier posts, you provided contact information to the Florida chapter of the Better Business Bureau. Maybe you should add contact information to the State of Florida Attorney General's office. Maybe they should be informed of Brett's past and present business practices.

China wasn't bad at all. Not like the media would make it out to be. In the end they are people just like you and me, they have the same wants and needs as anyone.

I didn't like the food, I'm not a big fish eater.

porn or freebies

 
I do admit that there are some things I don't like. It does seem to be mostly people looking to hire models for porn or freebies. The work, that is offered in the casting calls, is either a sexual scma or a money scam or they are just plain rude.

People at OMP and Ujena call me unprofessional, because I disliked the Bikini Jam last year. They said a REAL model would have a good time. I just found it sleazy and a lot of the people were rude. I also don't understand what kind of contest actually COSTS the winner thousands of dollars?

I did try at ModelMayhem once and they disregarded me, because they didn't like how I looked. That was their case.

I have other sites that chase after me (my money) but, as soon as I ask if they don't mind that I am not a hottie; I never hear from them again.

I guess the reason I stay with OMP, because they don't care how I look and I cannot make much complaints cause I have no assistance and I'm in a state for poor economy.

I guess the thing I really want to ask is which one IS the good modeling site or agency??
