Whoa, those are extra micro twists. I do think the ends are a little too blunt. Try to the tugging method before twisting it on to make it have more of a wispy end

Lol you're doing just fine. I've done Senegalese twists on myself a few times. I only do them long past my butt. And I have also done them on other people.) But yours look fine. A little too thin for my taste hit still done well. This vid helped me do them: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MI7kGvNI2Yw
Also, helpful tips:
-separate 10 pieces at a time from the pack and place them where they are readily available to you. Makes it easier
- get a rag to dry your hands with it they get sweaty. You're doing great so you shouldn't be nervous.
-for neat parting, part a skinny row, make a square then part that diagonally for a triangle.
-speaking of parting, I like having a part in my hair. You can make a part before starting so the client can have a neat part when they wear the hair down

Yeah social media will definitely work. You have to be your own product/business card. I do my own hair and nails. When I had my twists I had them like 30 inches long and perfectly done. So I always got a lot of attention and people would ask me to do their hair. Even now that I wear 28inches of virgin hair, people ask me. My biggest advice is to really advocate for yourself. It starts with you looking on point and showcasing your talent at all times.
