Networking has been covered pretty on this website when discussing looking for a job. The importance of networking/marketing while starting or owning your own business is even more important as you'll need to maintain the networking indefinitely. Talk to everyone you can about your work, pass out business cards, send out e-mails. Let everyone know that you're starting a business. And reminders to friends and family don't hurt. Sooner or later a friend will meet someone that needs your services.
