It really varies depending on your industry.
Generally, being a social person (which does not come easily to me at all) is very helpful. If you have a lot of friends, it's very likely one of them will be able to help you market or sell in some way or another. I relied heavily on friends and friends of friends. I still do.
More specifically, figuring out who are major journalists or trend-influencers (potential customers who can convince their friends to become customers) within your target market and then befriending them is very useful.

If you're an engineer, consider buying "Get Clients Now". The cover looks awful. However, it's a great recipe book for learning to market yourself.
