If you're listing domains on popular marketplaces and think they're getting a bunch of exposure then you're probably wrong. Marketplaces (like Sedo, Afternic..etc) have hundreds of thousands of listings and your domains are probably getting very little exposure that way. At the very least, make sure you've enabled Sedo MLS and Afternic Fast-transfer so you're names will show up if people type them into a domain search at registrars which partner with those marketplaces. You probably stand a better chance at someone visiting GoDaddy and typing in your domain, seeing it's listed for sale, and then buying it as opposed to having someone find it on one of the big marketplaces.

But, to answer your question, aside from listing it on domain marketplaces there are dozens of other ways to get your name out there. Let me list a few that quickly come to mind...
1) Google. Visit the search engine and type your domains term in. Find good potential buyers with really similar domains and send them a friendly email to see if they're interested. In fact, there's a whole thread dedicated to this topic right here and it's got plenty of pages for you to go through.
2) Social Media. Why not share your domains on some of the popular social media sites? Create a twitter dedicated to posting your names with hashtags, post into domain-related Facebook groups (there are tons of them), post into domain-related LinkedIn groups (there are tons of them)...
3) Forums. Why limit yourself to only posting your domain listings in the External Domain and Website Sales section of NamePros? There are other forums out there you can find and list on as well. Just use Google!
4) Dotdb (not my site). A great free tool that will let you see what other similar domains are currently registered. For example, if I owned the domain ShoeBox.com I could visit Dotdb and just type in Shoebox with no spaces or extension, and now I'm presented with pages and pages of domains registered with the term "shoebox" in them.

Hopefully that will give you some ideas and keep you busy for a while

Strategies to find buyers

Hi

instead of trying to find buyers,
just buy quality domains,
then they... will be trying to find you.

imo...

I tried thousands of outbound emails without any feedback.
Apart be the owner of a .com domain and trying to sell it to the owners of the other extensions, I don't see any valid strategy.
So buying good domains, list them on multiply marketplace and wait is my strategy

If you've sent out thousands of outbound emails without any feedback then you're doing something wrong. It's either your names are not of decent quality (and I mean decent, they don't need to be top-notch for low-mid $XXX), your prices are too high (might not be the issue if nobody is responding to even get a price), you're not contacting relevant companies, you're not reaching ANY decision makers and just emailing info@ and sales@ type addresses, your emails are not going through and ending up in spam, your subject line is not getting attention, or your body paragraph is poorly written. It could be several different things, but the fact is you're definitely doing something wrong. I get responses for practically every domain I outbound, even if they are "not interested" type replies. With thousands of emails you should have sales.. I would say you should be able to get a sale out of roughly 1000 emails (this would totally depend on your prices and stuff too, when I'm in the low-mid $XXX price for mediocre names I can sell 1/1000 emails)...

Maybe I'm not able to make outbound.
I tried geo domains promoting an expired domain to competitors. For example a restaurant located in Detroit, promoted to others restaurants in the zone for link juice.
Or dictionary name for example "partnership.---" promoted to companies that have this word in their name.
No results.

So I decide to spend my time searching for new domains instead of spending time in outbound.
