Does the Individual Seller account even work? Will I ever sell anything?

Im selling a new product, (new UPC) so no one sells exactly the item I'm selling.

I am an individual seller so I cannot put up ads.

I don't have a buy box either... My product page says: "see all buying options" and I'm the only seller.

Is my only option to upgrade for a Pro Account so that I can set up ads and my product gain some traction? What can I do to give my product some visibility?
