4) Business cards are the easiest way to market your business offline.  Just pass out business cards to your friends and family and let them refer business to you.  Also, put your business cards in the places of businesses that you visit often as someone may find your card and call you for your services.  You can put your cards on the desk of your banking associate at your bank and other places where they will be seen daily.  Starting at $40 for 1000 cards.
