For the last two years, I was able to make ends meet writing books, even though the Czech market is rather small (10 million speakers).
The key was having my own e-shop and a set of readers who come to read the blog. Once people buy directly from you, the whole balance shifts. Normally, distributors and bookshops take a large cut before sharing a slice of profit with you. Avoid them and the whole thing turns profitable.
