Hi Linda,
If you haven't already done so, place a free ad on www.inkspot.com Classifieds under Services. Browse their ads first to get an idea of how other manuscript typists set up their ads and what they're charging [if stated in the ad].
Also, if you have a web site, place free classifieds on Yahoo, and submit your site to the search engines.
If you have the money [because it IS expensive] you can place an ad in the "We Type Manuscripts" classifieds section of the print magazine "Writer's Digest." They'll send you a complete marketer's package with all the instructions and rates for the ads. I've never done it because I can't afford it, but there are a lot of typists that advertise issue after issue, year after year, although I'm sure that isn't their only service.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Good luck!
