No one is going to do this for you, so you need to do it yourself. Even a manager or agent won't do as much for you as you can do for yourself, because agents and managers are really out to help themselves.
Remember this golden rule: the only person who will bring you to the top is yourself. If you're serious about becoming a professional actor, making all of your money just from doing acting jobs, there is no better way to do that than by promoting all of your work.
Be sure to follow my guide on how to get lots of acting jobs, which can be found on www.cityheadshots.com, but at the same time, make sure you are constantly putting your latest works online for people to see. Get rid of the bad stuff and just keep the good stuff. The truth is, no one really cares to see the bad and old stuff you acted in unless they are a really close friend or they were in the project themselves. Therefore, I highly recommend you remove old works from your website and samples page. If you have put them on YouTube, of course you can leave them there, but anywhere else should be taken down because you only want your potential employers (i.e. Casting directors) to see your best stuff. Remove the bad from your website.
It's a harsh world out there, but taking things one step at a time is a sure way towards success. Just think: what if you had a not so good work on there and a casting director saw that one first? They don't have all day to say, "Well maybe that was just one bad performance." Nope, instead you go bye bye. That's a wasted headshot and resume right there, as it's now about to be recycled! So, one very important thing to remember, actors, is to always keep your best orks online, and no other ones.
Good luck.
