These days I do a lot of my networking and marketing on-line. The web reaches more people than any brochure or media kit, with less time and money. The two that really helped me are, on-line networking/directory web sites and posting in forums.

Having a profile/account/portfolio on any free networking sites like Facebook, Linkedin, or Creative Hotlist will get your name out there. Posting on forums will also help to build relations and trust that may bring you potential clients.

That's how Create Magazine contacted me to design their 5 page featured article. I have a portfolio on thier site. After looking at my work. They thought I might be a good fit for the magazine.

Another example, I post on design forums pretty often and have built many relations. As a result, Jeff Fisher, Jeff Fisher LogoMotives, asked me to submit some of my work for his new book, Identity Crisis! 50 Redesigns That Transformed Stale Identities Into Successful Brands.
