Also start a blog to promote your site, it's free:

-Try Search Engine Submission- in my opinion the second best way to advertise (There are so many around and some charge a setup fee, others don't and some are free)

craigslist.com
Write your company's name on the signs bums hold when they're not looking. Ok, you might have to drop a dollar in the gutter to distract them temporarily, but it's practically free!
no were
craigslist
also find forums that are in your business catagory (DO NOT SPAM THEM) but many will let you put your business website in your sig line.
There are lots of Directorys specific to certain types of companies that are free just do a search for "xxxxxx free directory" (replace xxxxxx with your business type)
Lastly PRWEB.com is really good to get the word out.
being a business owner i have found out no advertising is ever really free - depending on what kind of business you are starting you can put lead boxes together and try to give something away or have a drawing so you can get numbers and/or addresses to call or send mailers to!
good luck on your new business
word of mouth.
I'm not a religious person, but a good way to get the word out is to go to sunday church services just to talk to other church goers. Tell them about what you are selling.trust me, they are more likely to buy whatever it is your selling from YOU (cuz you are like one of them) rather than buy from some stranger who might not be Christian or Jew or whatever.
flyers handed out at churches, sporting events is close to free and effective
What is the nature of your business? There are many ways to get 'free' advertising. By this I don't mean the newspaper will give you an ad at no cost.but there are many tips and tricks to market yourself with little or no cash. Let's start with the business. Drop me a line at classe300@yahoo.com
I'll give you my personal address after that.
If you don't have any customers right now, try volunteering your service for a charity and ask if they will endorse your biz in exchange. Some stores and laundromats have corkboards where anybody can tack up a flyer or business card for free. (At my local Kroger, this is right by the restrooms!)
Once you get a few clients, you might try offering some type of reward or free service or discount in exchange for referrals. Your best ad is always going to be a satisfied customer telling somebody what a great job you did for them.
