Hey Jamo! Great question! When you first start your own business, it's very hard to put yourself out there, go out in public and advertise, walk up to people and ask them if your business can bring them any value. You will feel like the new kid in a school and very shy but you just have to get out there and spread the word for yourself. You kind of need to have a little humility when you first start out and realize that you will make mistakes and that you need to learn from those mistakes.
My advice to you would be to build your social media page, have a good amount of high quality photos that people can relate to and go up to random people and hand them your card, ask them for feedback, or even take free pictures for them and if they like it they sometimes spread the word for you.
Hiya Jamo! Welcome to the forum!
My number ONE problem, when I have started businesses, is understanding the core value you are going to bring with you business to others. Without understanding that, you will struggle with literally everything, pricing, positioning in the market, discussioins with others, etc.
Most people think finances are the hardest thing, thats actually the easiest....
Finding your Value in your business, and having others see that value, is your biggest hurdle, and greatest strength :).
What value are you bringing with your photography? :)
