Your business should be local, since not too many ppl will hire a photographer from out of state. You should stop by the hotels or places that host weddings. And give out your cards and let those wedding coordinator or event manager to help you to establish. Maybe you can put out the calendar so ppl can see when you will be available.Don't post on Cragislist, most ppl there are looking for bargain. You should spend some money to be listed on the local wedding magazine, even do a booth at the wedding expo type of places. Or even fairs....

Sounds like what you have already is a great start. Instead of trying to diversify into more marketing strategies, maybe you should try to optimize what you have. Go to getafreelancer.com to see if they can SEO optimize your webpage. Also, try to get as many backlinks to your website as possible. Finally, use some PPC at google adwords. You can geo-target your advertisements towards your blog, website or whatever.For more ideas, you can also try to write articles and post them to goarticles.com and the like with a backlink to your site. The people that use the articles have to keep your content in-tact. Join some other social network sites like twitter or facebook. You might even be able to have your website make some money when people show up. To see some basic ideas of what you could do, check out the site in my source below.

You should be taking a close look at what kind of traffic these marketing positions are bringing. Who cares if you have a MySpace page if no one but you goes to it - the same applies for blogger and the web site. You have to be driving traffic there. Are you advertising on Craigslist? You should then consider some basic advertising in some for of print media. maybe a local newsletter or community magazine. Good LuckTropperwww.dontdiepoor.com
