Take an interesting subcharacter and do a short story about them. It wouldn’t contribute a lot to the novel’s development, but would be interesting on its own.

Some interesting (to you) backstory? Do it up as a short story.

Some subplot that was just too much to put in the novel? Do it up as a short story.

If you’re self-publishing electronically, sell them cheap and ensure there’s a link to your novel. If you traditionally publish, collect several of these together and publish a collection.
