Keep your photos, releases, client contact information and other important information organized so you can refer back at any time.

Also, be sure to document when and where you took the shot and the camera settings.

Research your specific area for accepting places who are willing to buy your photographs.
The internet is certainly the largest option for you, but, as you gain experience, look in your own community for opportunity.
