Expanding My Small Firm

If I were looking to take my small side business to the next level, what are some of the best ways to attract new clients outside of flyers word of mouth, and going door to door. I would like to get out of the client types I have now, basically its like I'm starting from scratch here. Please help, what has worked for everyone in the past???

Interesting comment: What type of clients do you now have, and why do you want to avoid your current clients?
