Default taking bay cuttings?

I have got hold of a 'branch' from a bay bush, or is it a tree? - I don't
know, but it's a very robust plant, being about 7 ft tall and about 4 ft
diameter at the bottom.
I've been given a 2 ft section and the diameter of the bottom is about half
an inch, it has quite a lot of growth on it.
I've removed most of the growth from the bottom foot of the cutting and
these are hanging up to dry, I've planted the cutting in some compost and
soil so that about 8 inches of it are below ground and I've watered it well,
I only did this yesterday until I could find out more information about it.
Is there anything special I need to do?
Should it be indoors or out?
