I have a collection of short stories that I'm currently selling in the Amazon Kindle marketplace, and one of the biggest hurdles to actually getting my works read is lack of exposure.

My _passive_ plan (once my KDP Select period is over) is to [publish to multiple marketplaces](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/4906/is-publishing-to-amazon-kindle-alternative-ebook-markets-worth-the-time-and-effo), in order to have my works available to the largest audience possible. This may be a good strategy in the long run, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem of pushing the most eyeballs _toward_ my works.

In what ways can I market a collection of short stories that would be most effective, without being obnoxious in regards to volume?
