Diane Hochman talks about this a few time, in fact she have a great Video that she made on this. You might want to shoot her an email and asked her the name of it. Watch it for it full with her wisdom as always and she cut this question down to the simply terms. The one thing I can say for sure is unless you known your own business and can put yourself on the other side of the counter as a new customer. You will have a hard time finding your own target market. See you need to know what your business is then asked yourself okay if I was looking for XYZ where will I turn and what will I type into the search engine to find it. Hope this help you and give you a started point.

One of the best ways to find people who are interested in what you offer — whether it's your product BENEFITS or your income opportunity BENEFITS — is to put useful, targeted content online in every way you can find, build your presence through search engines, rankings, back links, followers, subscribers, etc.

That content should provide solutions, information or ideas to help with specific problems or concerns that prospects might be seeking. Your promotional strategy should be structured that way.

Use blogs, autoresponders, ezines, web sites, forum posts, social networking sites (to increase followers, fans, subscribers, etc), social bookmarking sites (to increase awareness and credibility), write special reports, white papers, ebooks, record audios, videos, podcasts and use viral sites to distribute them (youtube, viddler, etc) and generally put every technology and technique you can use to work to build your online presence.

It takes a clear vision of what you want to achieve, then a dedicated investment of time and effort, supported by consistent self-discipline, to build the kind of awareness and credibility you need to be highly successful, but that then raises the question:

How many people do you really need to succeed?

If the number is too high, you need to look closely at your own ambitions and your company's compensation plan, and whether you can properly train, support and work with such large numbers in too short a time frame.

Hope this helps.

I market a health juice and the bottle looks like a wine bottle, so I rented a booth(very cheap, $50) in my town's wine festival and people were attracted to our booth because they initially thought it was wine, but upon closer look, they really were interested in our product. One patron called it "medical wine"!! FIND YOUR TARGET MARGET!!

Social networking is one of the best ways to find people who are looking to interact, make friends and than may want to hear about what you have to offer. As to the "where" there are daily opportunities to "find people" from shopping to lying on a beach.

Marlin:

A friend of mine, Max Steingart, has been very helpful with his online training for Facebook and Myspace. I highly recommend him at www.maxsteingart.com.

You could start out by send out some free press releases. Next put ads into all the free classified ads that are out there. Put your site in directories that are free and there are quite a few of them out there. Send out to the different SEO sites. Your going to need to keep doing this and you will get noticed, you just have to keep pushing forward.
