It's like pimping, you chaperone her on jobs and take a big cut of the proceeds. Is she too young to legally work? If not then it's fine.

It's almost impossible to get modeling work if you are not part of an agency. If you are not happy with your daughter's current agency, your best bet is to go to their closest competitor. But read your contract carefully before you do. With a lot of contracts, even if you were to secure jobs on your own, they would still be eligible for their fees if you are on their books.

Get permit from the government. Here in the Philippines, We have the Department of Labor and Employment for people even under 18 to get permit in working. It depends on how the effort you have to go to different agencies and departments just to get her a working permit

How does it work if you work freelance and ask to be "taxed monthly?"- see explanation below

How does it work if you work freelance and ask to be "taxed monthly?"- see explanation below.?
I work in the entertainment industry on a job to job basis, so I'm paid by many different payroll companies and can choose my exemptions per job. My monthly income varies, sometimes I make a lot, sometimes not so much. Am i being taxed as if I'm always making the larger amount? Some of my friends have started putting 'tax monthly' and they say there is a difference. Just not sure how it works. Thanks for your help!

They put "tax monthly" where? If they request to be paid monthly, then their tax would be based on their gross for that month, so wouldn't fluctuate as much as being paid weekly, for example, if the income varies a lot from week to week.
2 :
If I'm understanding correctly you fill out a new W-4 with each job and the taxes are held out based on what you file for each job. So, the taxes should be figured per company. For instance if one company pays you $500 one week and you have marked single with 0 exemptions then their payroll system should hold out the taxes required for a single person with 0 exemptions making $500 a week or $26,000 a year. Let's say another company pays you $1200 one week then their payroll system should hold out the taxes required for someone making that each week or $62,400 a year. I don't know what tax monthly means. There could be something that I'm missing here. I'd suggest you go to www.irs.gov and search tax monthly and see what you can find. Also, be sure these companies are holding out taxes and not treating you as an independent contractor or else you'll end up owing a lot when you file in April

How do I get started in the business of freelance writing?
I want to become a freelance writer for magazines or newspapers, but I don't know how to get started. Someone told me that you have to "bid" for jobs. Any tips?

The Internet has opened up many freelance opportunities, expanding markets and helping to build it into one of the largest economic segments for many economies. Development for freelancing has been especially high for software development, website design, information technology, and business documentation. Freelance practice varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts<!--while others may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable through the very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work and request deposits from clients. Get more information on the website. You can almost find any freelance job you want. http://freelancejobs.awardspace.com/ Payment for freelance work also varies greatly. Freelancers may charge by the day or hour, or on a per-project basis. Instead of a flat rate or fee, some consultants have adopted a value-based pricing method-->based on the perceived value of the results to the client. By custom, payment arrangements may be upfront, percentage upfront, or upon completion. For more complex projects, a contract may set a payment schedule based on milestones or outcomes
