Pick a person at random going into work and take a photo of them. Then do a portrait of them and post the finished portrait anonymously at their workplace. This could created a buzz in the local newspapers, and, as a bonus, you would make someone's day!

Offer to do logos for bloggers (of course, this depends on the type of work you do). In return, the blogger can link to your website/blog etc. (Let me know if you want to do this -- I need a new logo for my blog!)

Let everyone see how you´re working by a webcam. Make it an interesting show and you'll get a big audience. After you´ve finished the work you can sell it for the highest bidder.

Put a collage of your work on YouTube with some interesting background music and a watermark to your website, then get all of your friends to view it in the same hour so as to push it into the "most viewed today" videos on the front page, and then other people will start watching it and coming to your site.
