(No...not in that way.) ;)

For those of you out there that are running your own show (be it full-time or as a side business) what are the most effective ways you have found for marketing your services?

I guess I'm looking for ideas in a few different categories.

-Free:
How do you spread the word verbally?
What kind of directories, classifieds, etc have you used with good results?
-Cheap:
Do you ever do any flyer campaigns? Trade shows? Buy ad spots on other websites?
-Not Cheap:
I'm not even sure what this could be...possibly buying advertising on more expensive sites? AdWords campaigns?

I know a very good way to grow your business is to just strive on pleasing your current customers, but this way is probably ranks near the bottom in the rate of growth.

We just discovered recently that you can do press releases through PRWeb.com fairly inexpensively...there are a TON of press releases on that site though. Which may water it down too much to really notice an impact.
