Renting the other side to my first duplex

Hello All! I did it! I officially own my first Duplex. Each side is an identical 2000 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. I have been living in it for about a month now  and have yet to find a renter for the other side. I tried Craigslist and only got a few shady inquires. I think it may be the time of the year, but I am wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks that would help me find my first renter! Thanks.

Congrats

@Nicholas Natale

I like to point out that good landlords are good internet marketers. I say that to encourage you to up your game and post on your Facebook and by every online means at your disposal.

Don't forget your real world networks as well. Post at work and on every bulletin board that might be seen by qualified rental applicant.

Don't tolerate your vacancy. You are at war! Go get'em!!!
