Publishing a book on the internet does not guarantee an audience. I did nothing to promote my self-published books on the internet and, as a result, I never sold any except to myself. I planned to sell my book Hip and Broke: A Songwriter's Journey at my shows, but if my intention had been to sell books on-line, I would have needed to invest major time and energy in marketing and promotion to not be lost in cyberspace like I was.
