Once you have your site up and running you need to tell people about it. The way you do this will depend on your type of business. If you are only operating in a geographically small area, you need only use the web address in all other advertising and business literature so that interested people can access the site for more information. If you are hoping to get work from a wider area, then you need to get your web site listed with the top search engines - Yahoo, Altavista etc. You can either go to each site and enter your site description or you can use one of the many programmes or services available that will do it for you.
Recommendations are below.
You will need to resubmit monthly to ensure your site remains listed, but should be aware that it can take weeks or months to get listed by some of the bigger engines. Another option to consider is an autoresponder. An automatic reply is then e-mailed straight back with whatever information you choose. If neither your e-mail nor web site provider provide these services I have found a company that will provide one with no rental fees. There are now in excess of 800 sites which give awards and it can be totally bewildering knowing where to start.
