The book took around a year to write and edit, and it was published in mid April.
Marketing is primarily relying on the fact there's no other books in the same niche so it would show up mostly within first page when people search it. The book is not yet profitable.
Something I would do differently next time is that I would try to publish the book myself rather than using a 3rd party service like BookBaby. I couldn't control when to put a discount. Sales data are like two, three months behind. Now is mid August, and I only see sales data up to end of of May. Also I couldn't participate in programs like Amazon KDP Select.
