IT NEEDS TO BE FREE

A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:
1) Create a blog pertaining to your field
2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!
3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.
4) Advertise on Craiglist
Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.
I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* 301 Do-It-Yourself Marketing Ideas: From America's Most Innovative Small Companies by Sam Decker
* Off The Wall Marketing Ideas: Jumpstart Your Sales without Busting Your Budget by Nancy Michaels, Debbi J. Karpowicz
* Guerrilla Marketing for Free: Dozens of No-Cost Tactics to Promote Your Business and Energize Your Profits by Jay Conrad Levinson
* Entrepreneur Magazine's Ultimate Small Business Marketing Guide: Over 1500 Great Marketing Tricks That Will Drive Your Business Through the Roof by James Stephenson
Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Take some pictures and put them on Picture Trail. Then send people to look at them like I do. My pictures get from 300 to 700 viewings a week. I personally have a $20 a year account but they have free service too.

print some samples of your work as a 'business card' and put them through the doors of local business or organisations which might need your services.
Put a 'signature' on the bottom of every email you send, point at a 'Yahoo' or other free hosted online album where you can show off - make sure the samples are good enough to view but low-res so worthless to print.

you could have put a link/contact detail in that question, other than that just attatch it to the bottom of every email you send, every form of communication needs to include it, start local/with the people you know, and build it up through there, word of mouth is the best

Make nice posters and ask store owners if you can tape it to their window, or put on their bulletin board. Have some business cards placed in a pocket, or make tear-off name/addresses along the bottom.

borrow a web design book from a library and design your own web page or just advertise it on your account at myspace and if you don't have a myspace account open up one, it's free anyway and it's worth a try. hope i helped!
