So I am curious about what the numbers really are.
The founder of Smashwords is quoted saying, “We have less than 50 people who are making more than $50,000 per year. We have a lot who don’t sell a single book.” At the time he had 14,000 authors published on SW.

Of course, this doesn't determine success or "good."
