Anybody had any luck with OMP ever?

the anniversary is coming and I have to make a decision, so I thought I'd ask...

Right of the bat, I really don't want this to turn into model site comparison, or something. My question is about one particular site and one site only: OMP, One Model Place. If you don't have an advanced account - feel free to skip the rest. But if you do...

Is it worth it? :scratch

I've been a Bronze member for a year. Not a single booking :huh . I freely admit, Bronze account sucks, and sucks rotten (5 images - I feelp like a PPA member:-). But judging by the site as a whole, I don't see, say, Silver or even Gold account perform much better. The influx of the new models is abysmal (10-20 times lower than some other sites), most of the travel notices comes from the same couple dozen (or so) of working pros - over and over again - and while some of them are admittedly good, I'm really not in a business of paying for my time, lights and skills. In fact I'm looking for quite the opposite... :wink

So, speaking of OMP and OMP only - what's your experience? :ear

    I had a silver account for 2-3 years and only had a couple of bookings. I had numerous requests for TFP/CD which for me was OK - since I was still in the trial/error phase of learning. But as far as paid bookings - not that many. So, when it came time to renew, I switched to bronze member - if only to retain a presence. I dont think I would go back to a silver membership any more. OMP hasnt proven itself to me as a viable source of revenue.
