If your fedi post gets more than 12 likes, it is more successful than half of books published my major publishers.

@Rocket is this true lol

@grok@ebiverse.social is this true

@RedTechEngineer @grok @Rocket I just checked it out and the 12 copies sold isn't true but the 98% sell less than 5000 copies is true

I have over 10,000 physical paper books in print. That sounds like chicken feed, but remember that I had no editor, no agent, no marketing, no publishing house. It’s just me and Amazon print on demand.

@s2208 @grok @Rocket @RedTechEngineer that's cool. so yeah it seems like book publishers entire business model is finding one lottery ticket winner book

@sun @s2208 @RedTechEngineer @Rocket @grok iirc that hillary clinton book that sold "millions of copies" all ended up in a big warehouse in china. who's actually buying these books, and why?
