On my cookbook, it was physical and I think I sold 5. Gave away that many too.
As to the story, it was professionally published in a book about farms.
The autobiography was how a college GED program changed my life. (Aka how I went from high school dropout to President of the college's chapter of the honor society). I was a tutor in college and later special needs helper.
The reason my cookbook is not on Amazon is because I don't think I could make back the formatting costs.
As to ebooks on Amazon there are 1,690,162 just in Kindle Unlimited.
Little tip when you hear an author whining about a lack of sales: go to Amazon and look at their work.
Every whining author I have run across had numerous errors in the first few pages.
The successful authors I have talked to, all invested heavily in their books including marketing.
Oh yes, advertising is important. You have to be seen. Oh by successful, I mean at least 6 figures a year, most a month.
You work at a newspaper, do you think you would have a job without the money from the advertisers?
