One thing that will help to get the word out is giving away a free
copy to each user group to give away. You would be amazed at what
sort of return this gives. I understand the Apple Stores sometimes
let people make presentations, so perhaps a road trip? :-)

Well, one of the most difficult and random things, in my
experience, is getting the people who would buy your app to find
out about it. I don't think there's a magic solution to that,
and it's frustrating because you have so little real control over
it. You can polish your app and make it rock-solid reliable, but
you can't easily make people find out about it.
What?
Sure you can. It's called marketing :)
Easier said than done IMO. Like development itself, marketing
requires you to know what you're doing. I bet it can be very
frustrating if you don't happen to know what you should do to
promote your stuff. I am just a student writing freeware so I
haven't had the opportunity to be very frustrated, but I don't
think I would know how to promote a shareware app if I had one,
apart from getting it listed on download sites. I could possibly
go as far as buying a few ad exposures somewhere, but I simply
don't know what actually works. Perhaps it just takes experience
trying different things to find the best ways to promote shareware.
Hopefully there are good articles about this on the internet.
Googling...
