Get a website. Create a portfolio. Create an advertising sheet, perhaps with a collage of your best photos. Title it, including your # and business name. Many cafe’s (starbucks) have bulletin boards, post them there. Ask other small businesses if you can place these in their windows.
My friend just did this, in a very small town in Oregon. She is already starting to get some interest.
