Usually, the first step to making a law is to make a draft of it. Once it is all worked out, it would become a bill. The bill would be sent to the legislature where it would be voted on. If it is passed by a majority, it would then go to the mayor/governor/president, who would sign it, officially making it a law. However, if the mayor/governor/president does not agree with the law for whatever reason, he may veto it. It would then be sent back to the legislature, which can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote.

Improving Answer: I would think the first step for a citizen who wants a new law is to talk about it with other citizens, and then some of the people or business owners who may be affected by it. Get their input before you draft it. Run the idea by some friends. Brainstorm for ways to address the problem or issue you want to do something about. Then draft the proposal you come up with. Then run it by a lawyer or somebody schooled in political science and government to see if the law is "constitutional" and if the legislative body in question (Congress, your state legislature, your city council, etc.) has the authority to pass laws on this subject. Then take it to your favorite politician in that legislative body and see if he or she will introduce it.
