When I started my business, I also had a limited budget.
I started making my own flyers and business cards and printed them on a friends computer.
Then I distributed them by hand.
I went business to business and explained to them what I was doing and asked if they would be willing to post my flyers and put my business cards on thier counters. 95% of the time, the response was positive.
Some may think that in today's "High-tech" world that seems pretty cheesy, but it works and very well, I might add!!
You can also build your own web sites virtually free of charge. Many web sites, like Yahoo have low costs sites like Geocities where you can do your own web page for very little money.
Also you may qualify for a small business loan if you are just starting out and you are sole proprietor.
Check with the Small Business Administration. there should be a local branch in your area, or just type it in your search engine and it will take you directly to thier site.

I haveb't had the chance to try it out yet, but I hear that the "Text Link Ads" service is a good way to advertize on a limited budget. Check out their site: http://www.text-link-ads.com

Start by setting out who your target market is. Then research which publications, directories and on-line sites reach that market.
You might also approach local estate agents or other businesses who come into contact with people who need your services.
You can also buy lists for direct marketing activity - but you need to be clear about your market before you shell out.
Best of luck

Make a slogan, followed by your domain and just paste at each mail you forward. you may request most of your recipient to copy and paste that much portion with their mail onward .
Shortly you will observe good number of visitors.
You may purchase a corner in daily News paper of your area, on Week ends, few number of times, just with your domain.
both shall bring good results. Good Luck!!
We wish you good time, ahead in your Business!!
