    I started by doing a lot of "freebies" and $25-$30 a game for parents at the local high schools. I now run a website for local high school sports coverage and every now and then I get a shot in the local rag. All I get is credit, but it's cool.

    Football season is the busiest of course. I shoot next to the guys that have 10K-15K rigs and I just blend in. It just takes time and word of mouth. Plus, I would say it's about 75% who you know.

    Good luck! We all need that!
