Hi All, well, after a year of study, practice, and many free shoots, I think I’m finally ready I market my photography business to paying clients. I have a website, but I’d love to know where the professional photographers here advertise their business. I spoke to Groupon, but after they collect their extortion fee, there is very little left for the photographer. I’ve also tried Craigs List but for some reason my ads are flagged for removal and now my credit card must be blacklisted because the site won’t let me try again. This group has always come through in the past, so I look forward to your creative suggestions for how I can market my new business. Thanks!

When I started out in wedding photography I wrote to brides when their engagements were announced in the paper. I got maybe one reply out of every 10 letters but that helped and once I started doing weddings and word of mouth started, a year later I was up to my (you know) in wedding photography business.
Just remember, folks who are happy with your work will maybe tell one person about you, folks who are not happy with your work will gladly tell 20 people or more.
