The average published novel hardly sells (couple of hundred copies on average), so if you write for the sake of a big audience, novels are not the thing to write - in that case aim for articles in a well read paper or magazine.
Selling even reasonably well takes a mix of persistency (building an audience over multiple works), talent, hard work promoting it yourself, and luck.
So true. I'm still learning the hard part about writing is not the writing, it is getting someone to read it. I documented it here => https://rodyne.com/?page_id=1252
