Looks like you have a nice site. Lots of great content, lots of relevant information and links.

I think when you have a small budget you have to find unconventional ways to promote your self. Focus on getting traffic to your site, how can you do that, you ask?

You can build backlinks, get your website a nice ranking, join social communities and blogging groups.

You can also start an affiliate program where you pay other people a portion of your profit to advertise your product, so you only pay out when you make a sale, so your product sells for $60, you can give your affiliate $30, or something like that.

This may make your profits small at first but it helps since now youll have multiple sites supplying traffic to your site.

Good luck!

There are many things you can do like the following:

1. Open the Google PPC;
2. Get better SEO ranking with some important keywords;
3. Contact with some bloggers to review your product and post the review on their blog or other social network;
4. Submit social bookmark of your website;
5. Submit your product to some download webiste (such as download.com), so they could list your products.
6. Write some tutorials for your product and help your users know more about your products.

.....

Hope it helps!

Umm ... if you're trying to have multiple accounts and post a question with one and reply with the other including a plug to your site, it only works if you remember to log out and not use the same account for the question and the answer.

I think you should make a press release about the launching.

PPC can help your problem. Start first in low paying-keyword.

One more thing to add is, referrals have always been an powerful way of gaining customers. This is especially true for the web, where trust levels can be low for new visitors. So, a referral from a trusted source can make all the difference in converting a visitor into a customer. In fact, tell-a-friend referrals bring the best traffic a website can get, because a referral adds real credibility to your message.
