Start a website. You can have a professional website built, but to save costs, you can also use an inexpensive web template. Once your website is up and running, you can begin to market online through free classified websites, and write articles to submit to article directories. Get your school name on the Internet so when people search for it, it will guide them to you. You can also write a blog or record a podcast to keep people listening and paying attention.
