: Re: Is it true that the need for marketing/promoting one's books is a "myth"? For indie fiction authors, is it true that if one simply writes and publishes regularly, one will begin to see sales

I have self-published more than one novel (available on a major online outlet!). I engaged in no marketing.
It's been several years.
I have sold 0 copies.
Maybe my writing is terrible (but how would anyone know?), or maybe my lack of cover art damned the attempt...
Or maybe if no one knows your work exists, nobody will buy it?
"Marketing" primarily is making people aware that your work exists. You can have a pile of great novels (or better mousetraps) heaped up in you living room, but nobody who hasn't heard they are there will ever come to purchase them.
