I don't want to sell courses. I do write books, but I'm not here to sell them -- they're all written under pen names anyway. I am here to write, period. I avoid the people who are trying to add me to their sales list; I've actually blocked some really popular writers because I'm not here to be sold to.

Now, having said this, I'm curious as to what numbers you're talking about. You have way more followers than I do, and have been at it longer than I have. I'm pretty happy with my money, but I don't know what I'd have been making if I'd started earlier.
