I started a website, http://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com, years ago. It now gets a few thousand visitors a day so usually I'm able to market my products there or whatever I have. I don't have success or fail numbers, but I've had plenty of repeat contributors, so something must be working.

As far as putting my own products on there, I did put a link up which is on every page of the website, and I do get clicks that lead to it. For my more prominent products, I tend to write an article about the product or find similar products and write comparisons. Pretty much rather than selling.. I'm just trying to "make known" that this product is here for you.
