Other than that, I've got nothing, except for this: If you think you've got even a little bit of confidence and charisma (and I'm thinking that you do) don't be afraid to get involved in the youtube videography community. So long as you don't mind talking to the camera, a few simple step-by-step review-type, recommendation, and tutorial videos that follow your own journey in learning filmmaking can get you quite an online following; and that's just from doing what is essentially an educational filmmaker's vlog. The only thing you need to do this successfully is decent editing skills, audio, lighting, and a camera that can keep you in focus. This is a very unobtrusive way to get people interested in your work.
You can also post tests to youtube. People look at those a lot and it's another fun way to get noticed, albeit maybe not in the manner that you're hoping.
Other than that there's no one stop shop for recognition. If you've got talent and good storytelling skills people will catch on. Just keep em coming dude, and have fun. I think when you have fun with video, it shows in the content, and it really gives it a spark of life just like with any other form of art. If it feels like work take a break! I think the type of videos you're talking about producing should be fun and not require a whole lot of stress; likewise I think it's less important in your case to self promote (unless you have a specific series or project in the works that you want to market) and more important to just make videos that you would want to watch.
Don't be afraid to share on facebook. People are used to seeing boring videos, so I find that making a few interesting skits works wonders.
Sorry if that doesn't help much. I've never self-promoted before.
