How to get into modeling?

I've been told that I'd make a good model... I never really considered it but when my friend gave the idea that it can help pay for college- I've become interested.

What are some ways to break into the biz- without really exerting too much money on agents and stuff like that?

Thanks.

1.Build a portfolio.
2.Find modelling agencies.
3.???!
4.Profit.

What should I put into a portfolio? What kind of pics?
