Just because its stupid, and destine to fail (unless you toss real money at it in big piles for marketing, design, etc) does not mean you do not have the ability to be stupid.  The indy author has that ability, contracts often/can prevent non-indy authors form doing that.
I host sites too (and build them for paying clients), and I have book on them... as a link to my Amazon/etc listings. I know enough about SEO to do well in Google.. but I still sell through established stores. |
I wasn't saying it was stupid, just that it would take a long time with just a website alone, before you could generate the sales you could with Amazon and Smashwords etc. You must know this yourself.
