10 low cost ways to promote your website:
1) add your site to as many search engine listings as you can find, ie http://uk.search.yahoo.com/freesubmit/submit

2) make sure you add meta tags to your website (key words which you list then when people search for those keywords your site will come up in the results) - all part of SEO - search engine optimisation

3) put your website address on all your business stationary - letterheads, invoices, compliments slips, delivery slips, envelopes, parcel packaging, business cards etc etc

4) promote your website by adding it to your email signature on both business and personal emails

5) join as many social networking sites as you can ie hi5, bebo, tagged, facebook, myspace, yahoo 360 etc and add your web address in your profile or notice boards etc

6) add yourself to online directories who give free listings ie http://www.yelldirect.com/freelisting/home.html

7) get some stickers made for your car, and window stickers made for car windows of friends, family, customers etc

8) PR is always a good move, ask your local paper(s) to run a feature, get your business start-up story on business sites like http://newbiztips.net/startupstories.aspx

9) use http://www.vistaprint.co.uk to get some free/low cost marketing materials and leave them everywhere you go - cafes, train stations, libraries, school, community centres, college

10) word of mouth is a great way to promote something - and it's free! tell everyone you know and get them to tell people they know

Try posting on bulletin boards and forums, like myspace.com and glamourforum.com. Not only do you get the word out to prospective models, but the forum postings should help your ranking in google etc.

I was about to say what the above user has said - "just trying to make...."
I would run all Search Engine Optimisation methods (research SEO) to get higher in Google, and your website is not in other big search engines like MSN, there are a good hundred to be listed in. Google Ad words works well.
Also consider updating the header to look a little more modern or cleaner, the whole site could do with a little spring clean to look modern, and I don't think the background colour will appeal to most people.
Hope this helps :o)
