Estimating
On your estimates, check out software made for electrical estimating, Its a good way to test the water. Once you get some work track your time. This will give you a measurement on how well you are bidding/estimating. These guys are right about the overhead we all have that. Gas,milage,tools,insurance,license,taxes.It goes on. Most important your time. I used to do some work were the customer purchased the material, I no longer subscribe to this, If the customer insist, I will only agree if they purchase from a list that I give them. ( this usually stops them). You are the electrician, you know what you need. As far as advertising all you can do is try a venue, and when you get a contact ask how they found out about you.
