How about putting together an omnibus with other indies working in a similar area? You could charge actual money for it, to avoid the problems of freebies, but make it very good value, to get most of the benefits, and you'd get some cross-promotion. Fans of the other writers would get to see your work, and vice versa.
People already do that, but it would need to be free otherwise nobody would even look at it. Another variation would be if all the writers clubbed together and bought a story from a more established writer in their genre to put in it. That way more people would download it, and some of them might even read the other stories.
