Craigslist and other free classified websites are all effective ways to get people to your site. Create an ad that details what your site has to offer and put a link to your site. Think outside of the box, create an ad in the barter section, and exchange services with other companies that can bring value to yours. Even people without a company will see your add and learn about your services, always include a link to your site.

Send an email to all your friends telling them about your business.  If you do something really interesting with your website often times people will pass it around, especially your friends. Keep each email personalized, a personalized email will always go further than a copy/paste email. If you email someone new, let’s say you know them through a friend; try to mention how you established your relationship together to remind them you’re not a stranger. People like to do business with people they know, even if they barely know them.

Keep up the hard work and always be on the lookout for opportunity!
