Even if it's a hobby for now, treat it as a business. Treat your models like your best boss ever treated you. Be upfront, fair and honest. Pay on time, be polite, and don't act creepy.

But DON'T offer anything a normal employer wouldn't. e.g., a "no call/no show" at an office job gets you fired. When (not if) a model ditches you when she or he is scheduled, they'll often come back when they run out of money and throw some sob story at you. Their current need is not your problem; getting your video done and not wasting your time and money is.

Keep your checkbook and your karma balanced.
