PR and promotion advice?

The only other thing I can think of is to try to get some press coverage. Journalists are lazy so if you can prepare some press releases or some interview question and answers that they could copy-paste into an article, then that could give you a boost. Local papers ("local boy is in the running for an award"), specialized press, websites could be interested....
 
The only thing that springs immediately to mind that's missing from your first list might be bloggers. If you search for blogs related to your niche you can sometimes find a blogger looking for content. Sometimes the bloggers with a larger following are hard to find contact info for or may not respond to any attempts to contact them. And obviously there are blogs out there that have zero following at all where the blogger's very simple to contact and willing to feature you but it nets only a handful of hits to anything (even this can be good for building link relevance if you are conscious of your SEO positionings). But if you seach with an eye toward something that's the right size for you you can get some additional results with it here and there.
 
maybe you could try submitting interesting articles to some quality article directory networks? I guess quality networks would be paid networks.
