I wanted to know where do you mostly aim for as far as advertising. maybe you are set now with your clientele but where did you start? I do have a web site and i have myspace with about 100 friends which i make bulletins and all. but i wanted to really get some phone calls instead of close family and close friends... thanks Canon 60D EOS | Canon 50mm f1.4 | Canon 70-200mm IS f2.8 L | Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L II | 430 EX Speedlite x2 | PocketWizard x2 | Alienbee 400 | DIY Beauty Dish for 430ex and AB400 |

For everything else, advertising is a waste of money as you are up against those who go direct to the bookers through emails, mailshots, agencies and so on. yes i understand what you mean, since i started off i kinda figured i would just be open to any type of photography and start from there... then down the road see what works for me, as now 4 months later i see that i love sports and fashion and model photography, weddings arent bad but could be a pain in the butt... but i know word of mouth is the best.

BUT, have business cards AND a web page for each of the others, too. Buy them by the 1,000 & pass then out like popcorn? FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...
