As you said, basically networking, family, friends ect is a place to start.
Newspapers, craigslist.com (multiple areas near by), anything free to post your marketing ad that you've come up with (a sales/marketing type of flyer or poster)... post at your gym if they have a cork board, leave on the bench in the locker room, post up at colleges in the area (their gyms have cork boards usually) ect.
Once you have a marketing piece to advertise, put it wherever you would like to pull clients from (your 'niche' market).
Once you have money coming in, IMO it's invaluable to start a web page (it can be very cheap and simple to begin with)... once people can research you (it is the interweb age after all), they should close themselves and be emailing you...
