Promoting your work

Making people aware of what you do, marketing, publicity etc.

No one will give you work if they don't know what you do or that you exist. This means making direct approaches and proving and showing what you can do, rather than just saying that you can do it. Building a track-record, producing a showreel, contacting people, sending out CV's, finding out about opportunities and being ready to take them. Many people find this difficult and off-putting; you will have to accept responsibility for generating your own work.
