Most heat is lost through the ceiling and roof. Begin there with insulation in the attic. Caulk around all windows and doors - outside and inside. If you can afford to replace the windows with double paned windows, that would help a lot. Those things would be the first things to do.
The suggestions above are great. You can add plastic to the crawl space as a barrier as well.
