Empathize with them. Really try to put yourself in their shoes. Does your product actually solve a problem for your customer? Is it a problem they're willing to pay for?
Once you build a product that solves a problem customers are willing to pay for, figure out where they are and go there. At the risk of sounding trite, like pg's advice, do things that don't scale: http://paulgraham.com/ds.htm. Literally go to potential customers in person and talk to them.
