Hi, my name is Tia I'm the mother and onetime manager (momager) of two successful, former industry kids. Both have booked national, and worldwide campaigns in television commercials and as print models, for well-known designers. My oldest son became the first "Gap" kid, to get cast in a worldwide campaign. He gained notoriety and quickly began earning up to $600 an hour. Soon after, my youngest son booked a national campaign for Nike. Both of their careers flourished. They built themselves a very substantial trust and college fund, thus earning mommy a nice 15% manager's commission. I averaged $90.00 an hour, not bad for mommy duties. Once I mastered the technique I've written about, I successfully managed a handful of other child clients. The majority became well known and high paid television stars. Today, casting in the entertainment industry is more diverse than ever. The demand is so great for various ethnicities, that now is the time to take advantage of getting your kid on TV.
