what are some self marketing ideas that you have used that have made your professional services take off, such as being a realtor, or providing some other type of service

Although there are several techniques that I use to market my business online, the one that has worked the best is article writing and submission. It's very viral in nature, brands you as an expert, and builds backlinks to your website.

I also use:

-Press releases
-Social networking
-Social bookmarking
-SEO (use Web CEO - it's free software, and it's easy)
-Free Classifieds: good ones like US Free Ads
-Blogging (very popular with the search engines)
-Linking (Building backlinks to your site)

The best techniques are always the ones that you will do. All of the techniques I mentioned work very well, and they are all free.
