A great way to advertise is to approach local cities, towns, scout troops, churches, sports teams and offer your FREE service to building and maintaining a website for them. The agreement would be that they pay for the hosting fees only. The groups and cities would spread the website by word of mouth with your name and link at the bottom. Offer to email out their newsletters with your name and link on them as well. Also if you have an adsense account put ads on the sites and you can collect the revenue from them as well. People will always want to deal with someone they know, if you are doing a website for their church or scout troop they feel like they know you as a trusted person. It can be a lot of work setting it up but it's not much time to add and change it. Once it gets going you will be well compensated. Going out and getting business is better than waiting for the phone to ring!
