Do you have a good short story? Get it published somewhere that has an audience that might like your stuff.

For example, my master plan is:

Finish my first good-enough-to-be-publishable novel
Really polish my best one or two short stories
Get one onto Escape Pod or Podcastle (podcasts with very large audiences of sci-fi - 10k+ subscribers - and fantasy fiction, respectively. This may involve having it featured in another respectable publication first)
Ask them to mention my new book (as well as my website etc) in the brief author bio that they read out just before the story.

Something like that should get some attention for your stuff from a group likely to buy it.
