By coming here you did the right thing. Now start by reading Brett's Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone [webmasterworld.com], and as you read it ask questions. By the time you are through you will be well on your way to becoming a pro!
What's your site about? Who is most likely to benefit from the products/services/information you are offering? What are these people like to see and hear?
Answer those questions and you'll have yet another avenue to try. :) I have a very short article on my website, but I'll private msg you the link in case we're not allowed to post it in here. :)
I have had plenty of clients saying to me "just build me a website" and I have tried and failed in trying to explain to them that it just doesn't work that way.
Fair enough, if it a site just for show to existing clients or telephone clients then fair enough, but most want to sell products online without giving a second thought to marketing the site - I have since give up and say to them "fair enough, but don't say I didn't warn you."
The building of the site is the first step, then comes the fun part - MARKETING. You will get great self satisfaction knowing that you can turn your good efforts in building the site knowing you can get people there to appreciate what you have done, and in turn commit themselves to you and your site.
In another case, its not all about just marketing for search engines then leaving it to see what happens, it is an ongoing task to keep your current crop of customers happy and willing to trade with you again. This is where all positive thinking comes into plan.
If you can figure this then you are laughing =)
Keep researching and good luck ;)

Use search engines to find yet more directories that you can submit to too.
