Dipping my toe in the Freelance world

July 7, 2012 forum topics
I’m starting to undertake the journey of doing some freelance work on the side, and I’ve managed to line up a couple of pretty good-sized gigs due to people that I know. I’d like to slowly but surely begin getting my name out there. I’ve got a good wedding reel from a wedding I recently did, and a rather unorthodox ‘general’ reel explaining that I specialize in storytelling with great natural moments.

Here’s my question: I’ve posted to craigslist and started to build a wee bit of a website via wordpress… where do I go from here? Can anyone point me towards a good resource which would explain how to get my name out there and pick up some clients? I know how to make commercials, but ironically have no idea how to market myself.
