But with the current CCL terms, that's not ever gonna happen with my professional work.

Giving away the rights to an image in hopes you later get work doesn't make sense if people don't know it is you who took the photo. Otherwise it is just a nice picture. To illustrate one of my clients posted a portrait I did of them on facebook. there are 20 comments about how good the image is, but no one knows it was me that took it. This was a paying client. Now I did a free Senior portrait and gave her 20 images for website use only all with my watermark and I've gotten 4 inquires and 1 booking in less than a week.

And Wikipedia is not something that is worth spending a lot of money on in their eyes. Because they’re cheap. And Wikipedia is not something that is worth spending a lot of money on in their eyes.
