How to get photography clients?

[Sara]

I am trying to start my own photography business, family and weddings and glamour portraits. I have yet to get one paying client because I don't know how to market. Everyone just says marketing is the answer, its the most important but what does that really mean? How do I market?

I have a Facebook page, blogsite, and have told all my (small group of) friends to pass the word. It is just SO freaking hard to find people who are willing to pay to get their pictures taken. And yet I see my peers who live near me posting paid sessions on their fb page once or twice or more every week!! Where are they finding these people???

Yes, I am new at this. So please help me out!
