Then I think, you are not in it for the same reason I am. I actually have a good stable day job, in my chosen field where most of my degrees apply. If no one ever buys another book from me, I will be fine. I write because I love to tell stories.
Sounds like you are primarily profit motivated. I am not sure this is a good business for you in that case.
