I'm not sure if it's on the list or not, but I'm thinking of using a text to speech program to "read" something and then turn that into a Youtube video. Pirate sites are also a good free way of reaching readers that you wouldn't otherwise reach. You must have something you don't really care if people read for free? There's also similar free ebook sites for non-pirates, but you would be better off targetting both types of consumer.

You would probably do better reducing some of your prices on Amazon too, they are quite high for an unknown writer. I don't read SF anymore, but if I did you would be competing with people I've heard of and charging more than they do isn't the best way to do that.
