I often wonder what price they get paid.Sometimes they will be on late evening,then again early in the am.That has to be hard,I know they all are young that helps.

How much? Nobody knows but I do know they work for an agency, not jfor QVC. It's a rough way to earn a living.

How much do you get paid? I know it none of my business. Just like somebody else's salary is none of the general public's business.

I see no real harm in pondering what a certain worker earns as a salary. It's natural' I think, to sometimes be curious about someone's earning abilities.

Haven't you ever wondered what a (enter whatever you like, a landscaper, an airline pilot, a commercial fisherman, a model on TV) might be earning? I have, and I'm not even a very curious person.

Anyway, the OP is not seated next to one of the Qvc models at a dinner, asking her how much money she makes. Now that would be rude.

No harm done here by posting this question. I hope they earn a nice salary, because it seems like their hours are awful.

Modeling is definitely for the young. I had to do a professional photo shoot years ago (in my 40s) for my employment. I had 3 clothing changes. Close ups as well as full length. Took about an hour and I was exhausted! Posing, hold the pose when I was barely balanced on the edge of a seat. Stand up, sit down, move here, move there, now don't move. Run, go change clothes, had to get the most bang for my buck, the photographer charges by the hour.

I could not do that for a living. I have no idea what models make but it must be good, so many trying to get in the business.

BTW my pictures were excellent.

@bewise"I know they all are young"

No they are not. There are a few "older" models who appear to be senior citizens and/or close to it.

Are you serious?

Most people would do a backflip to see tax returns.

I don't know and it's none of my business but that blond Jackie must be earning good bucks being she's there 24/7. Or does it only seem that way?

Google is your friend

You could probably find out what models make by looking online. Many salaries are listed for those looking to get into certain professions.

I looked it up a few years ago. QVC models work for modeling agencies and make about $100 a hour. Accurate or not, don't know, but it seems about right to me.

@Foxxee I think most of the models are through Joy Talent Agency - Joy was a model w/QVC for years.

I can't say that I ever wondered what anyone makes. Unless I wanted to go into that field, it has no effect whatsover on my life!

Nor on mine. But I still wonder sometimes.

I guess you're right. Transparancy is a good thing in all aspects of life.

My 14 year old dgd is a print model and she makes more money for a shoot than most teens earn during the summer. The work is sporadic but bookings pay well. She will eventually do runway work.

and she loves it.

I'll venture a guess. Maybe a % commission?
