How Am I Going To Build External Links?

To make external links I am going to make my own website to show my work, this will act as my portfolio. I am also going to try and find costume competitions to enter and I am going to enter Noise Festival competition. There is also a magazine called Vintage Life, I am going to write an article about my work and send it off and hopefully it will get published. Another thing that I am going to do is some work experience at The Royal Exchange Theatre costume department. I have already emailed the owner and I have set it up for the summer holidays.
