Go to meetups. Find ways to give presentations. If there aren't appropriate meetups in your area (or the area where your target market works), start them. If you can't start a meetup, you'll probably have a hard time marketing a company anyways.
Don't talk about your service offerings at meetups and network events unless you're asked, and keep it brief. Make friends and connect re: services offline.
Definitely! I presented my PHP framework at a meetup a year ago, so its time to go again to give some more talks on sites I've used to build it and go from there. I also spent this weekend setting up my blog and thinking about all of the articles I want to write.
I just got my first customer, so I'm happy things are going well so far.
