With all the different avenues you have to promote yourself it's hard to decide what to spend your time doing and what to bypass (at least for now). If you are just starting out it can get overwelming!
First thing you should do is find other artists in your area, either by joining some groups or by searching the internet. Look for local galleries and openings, art/craft shows and other events. Go to them talk with the artists, most are willing to share some of their secrets on how they got started. Make sure to have business cards with you to pass out.
If you are selling your items, make sure to have an online store so people can see your items. Try starting a blog too. Give tips that you learn and share what works...(wonder where I got that idea from...) A couple other ideas for you...if you can't start an online store. Try Ebay or even better Craigslist (it's free). Get your name out there. People aren't just going to fall in your lap (per say) It's all about promoting!
Good luck out there, let me know what works for you so I can share it with my readers!
