I tired nonfiction, magazines, comics, collections, and so on. I currently have a nonfiction blog that I post lessons on that has about 25 visitors a day. No ad's - 100% free. I do not even mention my books on it (at least I don't think I do). I post a new 1000ish word lesson each week. Because it is fun, and people enjoy it.

My newest venture in to EBook Sci Fi/Fantasy novels seem to be my nitch. Unlike all my other adventures; I am actually making a profit with ebooks. A profit is a good thing.



For you personally, I would say keep at it. Persistence and patience seem to be key. I have been at it some place around 8-10 years.. and only starting now to see any return BUT I have been having fun the whole time. To me that counts.
