Yes, my experience is similar. Part of the problem is the VACUUM CLEANER EFFECT. You could write the best article about aardvarks on the Internet, but if people type "aardvark" into Google, the top hit is going to be Wikipedia. (I verified it just now, for any doubters.)
Yet the publishing industry in general has long been a zoo. As we all know, you just have to roll up your sleeves, work hard and try to find your niche. Like you, I'll be doing a lot of marketing.
