Hello,
I use free ad forums and WAHM forums. Some of them are small but I just join throw in an ad and Intro - You never know who may pop in and see it. Be sure to try and find a few places on each forum for your input. If they feel like they know you they will be more likely to buy from you. I try to always stop at the intro section and say "Hi" to new members.
I also go to book stores and leave business cards in books related to what I do.
**Leave cards in in your used magazines if you leave them in places for others to use.
**If you mail in any payments - send a card with it.
**I hand out cards to people shopping in the health food stores while I'm there.
**All my emails have links in my sig line.
**Your hair dresser, bartender,waitress... is a wonderful way to get the "gossip" out about your business. They talk to sooo many people.
These are just some ideas. I hope they help.
We have a free forum you are welcome to stop by say "Hi" and put in an ad.

FYI - My whole foods site has a page rank of 4, my craft site is only listed in my sig line of free forums it has a 1 page rank. About 1 week ago if you typed Plan4Power in Google you were shown links to my site 6 out of the top 10 listings. The whole foods site had 2 of the top 6. This all depends on where I have my ads when the spiders are out, I think! I'm sure others here understand how page rank and top listings happen. I have only been working these sites for about 3 months. I am by no means a pro at this but I am learning allot by reading others ideas on forums such as this.
I hope this helps. This is only my experience. I wish I could pay Oprah to advertise my sites - that would be the best. I just don't see that happening today.
