One way I first started out a few years ago was promoting offline. What I did was make up about 200 flyers on my computer with a message saying something like "Make $10,000 a Month Starting Now".
Something along those lines and what I did was put those flyers on the windshields of cars in parking lots of malls, subway stations, grocery stores, etc... I made over $5,000 doing this and I only spent $4 on paper and printed these flyers at home.
Think outside of the box and promote offline. There is a HUGE market in the city you live in. Hope this helps

Hi sjames,
Do you like it when you get flyers on your windshield?

Hahaha.
That was the best laugh I had all night long =].
Thanks NS you made my day.
AND
A very good point. I caught someone putting a flyer on my windshield. Coincidentally I had just bought my BRAND new car and JUST had it detailed.
I know he didn't hurt it or anything but as I saw him prying my windshield wiper up and shoving that piece of paper in there...
I may have been a little rude to him..
^^.
Anyway. Flyers are not original.
They are annoying and unprofessional.
NS summed it up nice in one sentence.
Let me requote so you can see again.

Offline marketing can indeed be very effective. Despite your success I don't think putting flyers on windshields is the best approach however. As the previous two posters said, getting a flyer on your windshield goes under the annoying catergory for most.

Most of the time when I see paper under my windshield wiper I am thining, "Yeesh. what now?"
Some places (e.g. shopping centers) will make you remove them if they catch you papering cars.
I am not against doing this but I also feel there are better ways to promote. Though I can't argue if $4.00 for printing turns into $5,000.
