guess i should do a update on what i think good promoting ideas are.
so to begin with ; websites
websites have been around for quite a lengthly period of time and have grown in volume and ability, now incorporating new technologies like, flash,divx,css styling and many other wonderful things that make the web a excellent resource for self promoting.
Along with the basics of a website there is many opportunities and benefits of having a webpage , as it can be a key role in being found out and taken in by companies interested in what you can do.
advertisement/freelance
every designer f all kinds has to have some form of advertisement, this is usually through previous work that has been done such as: graphics,animation,web, book design, posters,flyers,t-shirts anything.
Facebook, Bebo, Twitter and other social networking sites, these can be a excellent place to promote yourself, giving that these sites are from local and global networks, so a vast amount of people browse pages and look up friends friends, and perhaps some one looking for talented people may be browsing at this time.
i personally found bebo to be good, because you can put your videos on the main page the profile page, all your blubs and blogs, and also the page itself can be redesigned by you, by making profile skins, these can even be distributed amongst other networkers.
facebook, facebook as taken the word by storm it features in almost every advertisement dealing with technology, such as the ipad ads. facebook is good for blogs, and linking to videos, they can be viewed also on the page but seperatly in a new window, not as convenient as bebo's.
word of mouth. the most effective way of communicating your ideas, thoughts and your business.
if 1 person passed to their friend and they did the same and so on and on and on and on then soon that 1 person has communicated your work to maybe a 100 or so. and their friends pass on to more and more and soon it spread further, making it very well for advertising , but downside it is because chinese whispers and names can be forgotten or other facts, so its best to hand out business cards really..
