Have you thought about pay per click programs? The two biggest, I think, are Yahoo! and Google
A few free resources – check out the sources box for links:
1) Create a blog pertaining to your field
2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one!
3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise.
4) Advertise on Craiglist
Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.
I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

Since you sell products, you should get some listed on Froogle (Google shopping). Try to get some (one-way) links from high PR (4 or better) sites or shopping directories. Consider using a 'price comparison' site (like PriceGrabber) that doesn't charge a fee to list, but takes a small percentage when you sell. Just search for 'price comparison' and find a site/terms that you like.
