Indie and Self-Pub Book Corner discussion

Hello. I'm just looking for a bit of advice, some hints, a nudge in the right direction, anything really.


So I've written a novel and put it out there on Kindle (Kindle Unlimited too, if anyone knows any ways I can take advantage of that).

It's kind of dark, pessimistic, nihilstic. No real genre, not much of a plot really. Nothing to 'hang it on' if you know what I mean.

I've sent it out for reviews (using a very helpful list on The Indie View).

I've signed up to some promotion sites but I'm not sure how they work. (The Writers Room and Wall of Books).

Nothing seems to be gaining traction or momentum though. I realise marketing is easier if your book has something in it you can use as a hook (a novel about a golfer, you'd spread it on golf blogs etc.). Maybe I just need to find the hook in mine?

I'm not sure though. So I'm kind of looking for advice, help, hints, anything really.

Thanks in advance
