Get my name out there...

The question was asked today, over at DPS "How do I get my name out there"

Well, How does one get his or her name out there?... Obviously aside from taking a large block of ice, carving your name in it and firing it from a cannon... No, really... Getting your name out there isn't all that hard.

Keywords, Old school keywords and tags. They are a great idea! I have keywords in my various websites... Meta keywords that describe my content, names for pages and basic words that are associated with my stuff - like "photography" "canon" ...all that kind of stuff, you know. Of course, this is only from an Internet point of view...

From the old conventional "Hi, I'm a photographer, please hire me" point of view, I am sure that the best way is just to do your best with your photos and share them around from time to time... Get some MOO cards printed up, hand them to people. Get yourself on Flickr and then it's easy to print your moos straight from flickr... Maybe try and get one or two of your photos up in a shop near where you live?... Do some Charity work?... Get a photo published in a newspaper, it's not as hard as you might think...

Well - these are a few ways which spring to mind... What others can you think of?
