Step 5: \u00a0Getting Paid<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you are talent hired by a production company, you get paid a fee for your appearance. \u00a0It\u2019s only a few thousand dollars, maybe the low five figures, maybe not even that high. \u00a0It is an excellent calling card and a great opportunity to get your name out there, so if you ever get the chance, take it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
