waylandcool Senior Member More info | Jan 15, 2015 10:06 | #1 I'm considering stepping into the professional photographer world. I thought that starting off as a second shooter would be a good way to learn the ropes so I can be better prepared when I start working on my own. Do I need a website to advertise my skills or does a Facebook page suffice to start with?

Not many are going to want to hire someone with big dreams of becoming a photographer (aka, new competitions). Grab your best 10 shots and go shop your services around to all the photographers in town.
