Very intelligent and feasible suggestions by Prof. Ian and Dr. Vishnu! Indeed, because you have thoroughly worked on the robustness of the paper and it's out now, you have to make it available in all databases as possible, both print and online. Pleaseeee, campaign for your excellent papers! This is what 'market' means.
All good recommendations. But a necessary condition is that the paper is also worth citing for something special within a field. When citations of a paper start coming in the introduction and general first background of new papers, there will be more citations like that. If this special citeable takeaway is also reflected in the title, it is very productive. Sometimes it is, however, hard to know what will catch on readers/authors beforehand, it may not be the main result or conclusion.
Example: In 2011, I and coauthors wrote a paper responding to a very general call from a journal; "the new normal in education". Therefore we connected to Peter Hinssen's known book 2010 and proposed lightly that ICT integration in all courses, often called "blended learning", was becoming a new normal, and not a disruptive option any longer. This was only in the introduction to a conceptual paper about time as a perspective on blended learning (replacing place- and technology perspectives). This we were since then seldom cited for. But that we had concluded that blended learning was the new normal (which we intuitively proposed, but had not established in any empirical way) became very popular to cite. Many papers are not read in their entirety anyway - I should guess that most are cited for something in the first or last page, or something reflected in the title. Paper enclosed. Today 159 citations in Google Scholar. Cite it for anything...
