How do cosplayers make money?

I think cosplay itself is a hobby, but with the increasing number of cosplay enthusiasts, there is an increasing demand for it at comic exhibitions and events around the world, especially with the rise of the Internet celebrity economy. Since then, professional cosplayers seem to have become more and more common. Some friends in the Caigua group asked me how professional cosplayers make money? It just so happened that "Girlfriend at Home" recently invited two well-known cosplayers to shoot the trailer for the next episode, so I thought I could use this as a starting point to talk about the ways that cosplayers make money that I know.

The screenshot above is the trailer for the second episode of "Girlfriend at Home". Nowadays, various animation works, game works, etc. need cosplayers to help with promotions. Cosplay girls are beautiful themselves and can play the characters themselves, so it is perfect to invite them to take promotional photos and so on. It seems that this job used to involve hiring models, but in the case of animation and games, cosplay girls are more professional than models. In addition, it seems that some of the models also like anime themselves. This is also an improvement. Unlike before, none of the girls invited have watched this anime.

The jobs of many cosplay girls now overlap with those of previous models and showgirls.

Girls do have endorsements and platforms. It is very common to go to Comic Exhibition as an official coser station for a day. The income is quite considerable, but it also requires certain innate conditions. It is basic to be beautiful and have a good figure. For people like me, I guess the only option is to work as a cosplay security guard.

Taking photos and publishing cosplay collections are also methods that some girls choose. The market in China is pretty good now, and there are many professional photographers. However, some people change their taste after patting it, such as Xiaotiaojiang, which caused an uproar before.

In addition, the Internet celebrity economy is very hot. You can do live broadcasts or something, as long as you are beautiful and talented

Some domestic cosplay teams have transformed into professional agencies and produce variety shows. , serve as image endorsements, and serve as guests at comic exhibitions, etc. The market is also relatively mature.
