Profit is part of the dream. And like the book deal dream, there are other reasons why they don't achieve it. Usually one or more of the following:
1. They write crap.
2. They write in an already over-crowded genre.
3. They write in a genre with limited appeal.
4. Nobody has heard of them.
If you can show me one writer who is widely pirated but doesn't sell any of their retail books you might be able to convince me otherwise.
