A large part of promotioning yourself is just getting your name out there and marketing yourself. Make sure that people know who you are and what you do. Get some business cards and if you are inclined have some comp cards made up and make them your constant companions.

Another key part is to develop an area(s) of photography and specialize in it. You can't be the best at everything so find an area that you have a particular knack for and focus (no pun intended) on it. Good luck.
