    What is the best way to promote a website?

You will need to pick one or two strategies that you think you will get along with and just focus on them until you are generating a reasonable number of leads every day.

    Should I offer a cheaper service?

    The main thing you should be considering is how much value you are giving relative to the price you are charging on different levels.
