1) Put together a free demo version that will show off all the features, but in a very limited way.
2) Make sure you have a good installer/security/registration system programmed into it to prevent piracy.
3) Launch it onto all the shareware download sites (tucows, download, etc) and make it available to the mass public. Word of Mouth will eventually do most of the marketing work for you.
4) Price it competitively, but not cheap. There are lots of ways to collect credit card payments for shareware, so that should be easy.
5) Setup a support forum and some "how to" articles on your website.
.... JUST ROUGH IDEAS, but you owe it to yourself to roll it out full force. Peace & prosperity to you, bro.

I think you're legit, So I have a couple more ideas for you.
Don't forget an affiliate program. Several somewhat similar progs have successful affiliate systems (example: phantomcloaker.com). I've seen their banners floating around several webmaster boards. Let other people do the marketing work and you make $$$.
FINALLY... find choose a really kickass name. "theBASTARD" could work, but might scare off some mainstream marketing opportunities. In any case, you need a name that will lend itself to really a catchy branding campaign. Again, Phantom Cloaker has done a good job in this area.
