How to Sublease a Commercial Property?

I made a mistake and signed a two year lease for a commercial space and now it is catching up to me. My landlord has agreed to allow me to sublet the property to another tenant or if I can find a tenant who wants to lease the space for 2 years, my contract can be completely voided. I have been trying to find someone to occupy the space for 3 months now, and it's not easy. I have posted several times on Craigslist and received 4-5 calls, but only one person even came by to look. Does anyone have any other suggestions on where I could look for a tenant? The space is 1800 sqft and located on the 2nd floor, so it would be ideal for most businesses except those that are looking for a retail space. I spoke to a couple realtors, and no one seems too interested in helping me lease the space. Should I take out a newspaper ad? Should I pay for an online listing service? Are there other places like Craigslist to post? (I find Craigslist the most popular) Thanks!
