Passive Marketing: This is a totally new concept of marketing.
Yet I would advise you to study more about any subject before venturing into it. At times I feel that Principles of Marketing must be studied by everyone as it gives a strong insight into the subject. The best books in the world to study marketing are by Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong they are American. The second book of marketing is by Peter Rix, this is Australian. These are really wonderful books to understand what marketing is all about.

Another great way for some passive marketing is to comment on designer blog posts giving your thoughts and concerns on topics. By doing this people will also see you reach out to the design community on other levels than just your personal site.

Also many of these site offer link backs to your site once you submit your comment.

Thanks Steven for the great tips!

You can passively market in your local area by building some relationships with other companies like printers or marketing companies. Sometimes there are community boards where you can post a nice flyers, business cards or poster as well.
