Here's the first step for professionals
Take advantage of all the free educational resources out there. Make an ad on Craigslist; build yourself a portfolio even if it means shooting for free. Get a domain name with a legit email address. Figure out the type of clientele you'd like to attract and hire a pro to design your website / brand / logo. Everyone's a wedding photographer nowadays; what makes you different? Keep in mind that a good portfolio helps, but there's only one "you". Emphasize it, and use your brand as a tool to do so.
