How to make pagination for your custom post type on wordpress

I was trying to get my pagination to work on my custom post type but cant get it to work.

I used the following code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
            <section id="content">
                <aside class="left-col">
                    <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'linker-sidebar' ); ?>
                </aside>
                <article class="right-col">
                    <section id="slider">
                    <?php nivo_slider( "home-slider" ); ?>
                    </section>
                    <ul class="productthumbnails">
                        <?php
                        $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
                        $mijnProducten = new WP_Query( array(
                        'post_type' => 'producten',
                        'posts_per_page' => 3,
                        'orderby'=> 'menu_order',
                        'paged'=>$paged
                        ) );
                        while( $mijnProducten->have_posts() ) : $mijnProducten->the_post();
                        ?>
                            <li><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'postpage'); ?> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> </li>
                        <?php
                        endwhile; ?>
                        <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Previous') ?></div>
                        <div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link('More &raquo;') ?></div>
                    </ul>
                </article>
            </section>
        </div>

Hi Zac Thanks. This made the prev_posts link and next_posts link work. Only when i click on older posts now or newer posts, It doesn't show any posts but i do have more posts.
