Here's an exercise you should try.
List down every single thing you think works against you and do each of those.
List down every single thing you think helps you and stop doing those.
So ->
1) Interpret everything positively.
2) Give away all your books for free.
3) Encourage piracy.
4) Start focusing 100% on what value you provide to readers.
5) Stop focusing on how much money you can make.
6) Don't look for advice from anyone.
7) Be 100% focused on the opportunity ebooks provide.
8) Study the authors who succeeded and do everything they did. Including offering books for free.
9) Think about why people have the beliefs they have + exchange all your current beliefs for beliefs that readers have and beliefs that successful authors have.
That's just a few.
If you really do some introspection you'll find a lot of really, really core things which you could NEVER imagine changing - reverse all of those.
Basically, try your best NOT to make money and to encourage piracy and to think of writing books that last forever.
