Have you thought about pay per click programs? The two biggest, I think, are Yahoo! and Google
A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:
1) Create a blog pertaining to your field
2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!
3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.
Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other’s sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.
I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here’s some book titles that are relevant:
* The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Marketing Basics by Sarah White
* The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing by Al Ries, Jack Trout
* Creative Advertising: Ideas and Techniques from the World’s Best Campaigns by Mario Pricken
* Entrepreneur Magazine’s Ultimate Small Business Marketing Guide: Over 1500 Great Marketing Tricks That Will Drive Your Business Through the Roof by James Stephenson
* 301 Do-It-Yourself Marketing Ideas: From America’s Most Innovative Small Companies by Sam Decker
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Adervtising! Advertising! Advertising!
If nobody knows your product why would they buy it? start buy myspace and add everyone that you think would like your product
Also you have to get people to know your website and what you do if its a good product people will come

you just need good advertisting…
for example, you should have put a link to your website
in this post, that way, people would go to it.. a cheap way
is to just put the link or hyperlink places, maybe you can
make a myspace or facebook for your business.. this gets
the word out because you add people as your friend.. theres
a 99 percent chance that the person tht adds you will click on
the website.. after you make a facebook, make facebook groups
there are many free ways to do so, since yours is about fashion
.. well clothes, go to the fashion questions on yahoo answers..
if someone needs help with what they should wear, post your
link.. its all in advertising

You need to learn to promote your website, you should read about SEO (search engine optimization).
What you want to learn is how to make your website more attractive to search engines and convert more contacts into clients.
You need to understand the way the major engines rank your website and how to rank higher, that’s the best way to get more visitors and more customers.
Depending on your gross margin, you might want to pay for more traffic. This can be achieved with PPC (pay per clic) campaigns.
I have found the clothing business to be very competitive online, but you don’t have to be the #1 right at the beginning. Success will come as you build your reputation.
