Hey guys,
I finally started my business! Registered and everything, though right now it is technically a sole-proprietorship until I get off the ground at which point my uncle will be helping me out making it into a business.
Right now I've been doing portrait work, though the company is all about commercial advertising. I'm not just a photographer, but also a digital designer. So I will be taking pictures of product and create the media in which they want it advertised.
The problem I'm having right now is finding clients.
I'm in the process of locating local business owners and contacting them about my services, but I really don't know what to say besides "This is who I am and what I do." Is there anything I should include in specific?
I guess basically right now I'm a bit nervous since next month college loans are coming in and I really need to get my butt moving. I know the business won't take off in that time but I have other jobs for that. It would just be really nice to start getting clients.
In short, how did you find your first couple of breaks?
