For most writers, trade publishing is a losing proposition. They do get books into book stores, but generally the only time it's worth the costs is when your book becomes a best-seller, because no self-published author has reached the Stephen King/JK Rowling level yet. But you're only slightly more likely to get rich from selling hundreds of millions of books than from winning the lottery.
