What is the best way to get gov. grants to start your own business?

I'm pregnant, alone, and an artist. I would like to start my own business in photography / Graphic Design, but am confused on how to begin. Anyone have any tips, websites, advice?

As its just starting, a way to help disseminate their work and do it there would be self-promotion. Say, graphic design, some networking sites and ask if you would be interested in doing some kind of graphic work for your site in exchange for giving you credit for it. Now if you try with the big companies that probably do not need. But smaller sites that are popular with some people that may be closer to accept. The more sites you get their work, the more chance you have of getting an account. Blogs are another selling point for dealing with this kind of self promotion with many bloggers (myself included) would love have flashy graphics, just lack the skills in graphic design background. Once known for his work, people will start to contact you graphic work to get done. Same outlet for photography, just different sources, could try stores that sell works of art or places sell the photograph.

Photography $17.42 What is photography? When was the first camera invented? How are photographs altered or changed after the picture is taken? What is photojournalism? Almost everyone has a camera. Have you used one before? How are the pictures you and your friends have taken the same or different than the kinds of photographs you see in a museum? Photography has many different styles from as it happens street-shots to elaborately set up photographs. Photographs can be black and white or colorful. They can be happy or sad. They can be funny or serious. Find out how artists use this fairly recent medium.
