Well to start with you can do editorial work for magazines
there are books and also ad work or stock work
pick up a book called "the photographers market" it has everything you will need...who wants what what they want you to send and what they will pay....
you can also start with your local new paper or magazine and make an appointment with the photo editor and try to do freelance work...you won't get paid much but you an begin to collect tear sheets (work published in mags, papers, books) for your portfolio.
and two BIG tips
show prospective clients photos of the work you want to do...ex.
show them your best portrait work if that is what you would like to do for them....
and DON"T BOTHER IF YOU CAN"T TURN IT IN ON TIME...no reputation is better than a bad one
