6 helpful tips for your Model Fanpage from the Social Media Manager

In Facebook & Co. there are not only fans and private individuals – professional photographers, model agencies and scouts are also active here. They use Facebook and Instagram as a platform as well – to scout new models! In New York, we came across an interesting article by Cris Cardona – she also swears by social media. Social media is not only a good tool for your own PR as a model, it is a real must-have. For you, it is important in 2015 to be a “social model”.

Many models have even become famous through social media, such as Tatiana Marinescu. Do you want your own Facebook fanpage? Then we have 8 helpful tips here to make your Facebook look great!

1. Description of your Facebook profile

The description you have on your fanpage is very important! Remember the introduction. From professional photographers to model agencies and casting agents, almost everyone is also an active user of social media platforms. And they will definitely read the information. The following should be included in your fanpage description:

Bookable requirements: www.cmmodels.de/booking
Model Sedcard: www.cmmodels.de/marie
Website or portfolio page
Current photos, possibly including links
Social media links
Information about you

You are still new and don’t know what to write? No problem. A short description of your agency is sufficient at first – you usually get text on the agency page.

2. Facebook cover photo: Profile pictures work

When people visit your fan pages, the cover photo is always the first thing they see. Even before they see your profile picture or the content on the page. That’s why it’s important to have a cover photo that’s ‘cool’ and ‘catchy’. You should be visible on the image yourself! That’s important. Also make sure to change your cover photo on Facebook at least once a week. With current visuals from photo shoots and advertising campaigns. Of course, you also need a good profile picture – but you don’t need to change that as often.

3. How do I post? When is the best time to post?

Your fan page is still empty. You have your profile picture, cover photo, and description text. Now you should start posting! Ideally, before you invite friends and people to like your page. It’s better to have some content (images, videos, etc.) on your page first. Social Media Postings work very visually – this means, especially images and videos work well, long texts less so. Therefore, share your images with a short description in a maximum of 3 or 4 lines, in which you tell people about the photo – the location, the team, or the job itself. But make sure to keep the texts short. You can also share links from friends or other fan pages. Of course, also the one from your model’s sedcard. If you can mention someone else in your Facebook posts, then do so! For example, the photographer. Mention him in the post and tag him in the image.

Hashtags are very important! You should always use a few in your posts. Here are also some trending words like #model or #portrait – many thousands of people search for these daily. But you can also come up with your own hashtags.

4. Fan and Community Building: How Do I Get Fans?

Well, now that you’ve shared a few posts and maybe some images, articles, and videos, you can invite friends to like the page. Right below your cover photo, there’s a button with three subpoints – here you can invite friends (“invite your friends”). With this option, you can directly gain a few fans for your fanpage. Invite everyone! You can also ask your friends to share your page or tag you in a post, so you can get even more followers and fans.

You should try posting and commenting on other Facebook fanpages. But groups can also bring you new likes and fans. There are really many modeling groups. You just need to search for them on Facebook. Here you can find and meet other models if you share your fanpage.

5. What and when should I post?

Now you have your first content, images or videos, a title and profile picture – and most importantly – your first fans. You need to keep your fanpage up to date and actively manage it. This means you need a small strategy to always have enough material available for postings.

You should post 2-3 times a day
You can also use pictures from your everyday life, it doesn’t have to be a professional photo shoot every time. Your fans also want to see what else you do.
Fans love backstage material, so also share images that give your fans a glimpse behind the scenes.
New outfits are especially popular in the fashion world.
Fashion show? Then you should let your fans know immediately!
Thank your fans for their support

6. Don’t forget Instagram!

Post regularly on Instagram, meaning at least once a day. However, more than four posts should not be the case, otherwise you might appear too often in others’ timelines and they might feel disturbed. Unless, of course, you’re at the World Cup final or a Lagerfeld fashion show. Otherwise, stick to two or three posts per day. Besides that, here are a few more things to keep in mind on Instagram:

Use hashtags! Hashtags help you get found on Instagram. Look at other images, see which ones are popular and what hashtags they use.
Use high-quality images
Follow and like other models, photographers, designers
Tag and mention people in images who were involved
Often it helps to keep a certain look, such as black and white or a dominant color, objects or filters
Let your fans see behind-the-scenes images and later show them the final images.

With these 6 simple tips, you should quickly boost your Facebook fanpage. Those who want to learn more about social media management can also do so with our Social Media Agency.

TikTok and Reels: The Mandatory Channel for Models Today

Since 2015, the social media landscape for models has fundamentally changed. Facebook fanpages now play a secondary role — visibility is created on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

“Models who are scouted today often don’t come from castings — they come from the For-You-Feed. A single viral video can generate more reach than 10 years of regular social media.”

TikTok: Algorithm-based reach without a follower base — a strong starting advantage for new faces
Instagram Reels: Short videos (15–30 sec.) perform better than photos — backstage clips, catwalk snippets, get-ready content
YouTube Shorts: Search engine optimized — ideal for long-tail topics like “Model’s daily life” or “Casting preparation”
Cross-Posting: Publish the same clip on all three platforms — the extra effort is minimal, but the reach multiplies
Authentic Content: Unedited behind-the-scenes clips often outperform highly produced photos in engagement and reach

The basic rules from the six tips — consistency, quality, network tagging — still apply. Only the platform has changed. Those who want to be visible as a model on social media combine a well-maintained Instagram presence with active video content.
