Best way to get your name out there...

[frownsarefun]

For someone who falls somewhere between dock-style and fine art and a healthy dose of randomness - what is the best way to get started and get your name out there?

A website, obviously. One that has your best selection of work on it.

Perhaps a Flickr or Tumblr page to 'dump' the things that one feels may not work on their website but still want people to view?

Just wondering if you have someone who has a collection of work which is more random - and I don`t want to be so vague in my website classifications such as PERSONS, PLACES, THINGS - what to do?

Also, when do you know how many photos are enough on your website? How do you really know which is the better photo(s) to choose? Seems one man`s treasure is anthers trash.

Is doing a website with a more narrowed focus and a Flickr or Tumblr to put the other, more random images a better way to go?

Seems like there is no right or wrong answer - because if tomorrow Mario Testino suddenly made a new website with 87,000 of his photos ranging from pro shoots to what he ate for breakfast, people would applaud it as genius and some would ask what he was smoking.

Just looking for a wide range of opinions.

I`ve seen narrowed, project based websites that had a diary link to a Tumblr account which literally was what they ate for breakfast every day for a year. And I`ve seen a website-only, which was broken into Portrait, Architecture, Landscape, Models - both with 10-15 images per category and also some sites where they had 30+ per category. So basically - the full range of spectrum.
