I was just wondering how those of you who do freelance sports photography either as a living or as a sideline (no pun intended), get the word out about your services? I realize that you can take ads out in local newspapers and such, but what have you found to be the most effective?
Would wearing a shirt or a photo vest with your phone number or your website address printed on the back of it while you're shooting a sporting event work? I would think that that would be a very direct and inexpensive way to get the word out among the people who would be most likely to purchase the pictures in the first place.
How about taking out an ad in the school newspaper or game program? Do those work?
