I think this is a conundrum many poets face— perhaps writers in general: the web space is full of noise and it is hard to have our books pushed through. In fact, I think I need to give mine free( the paperbacks), just to start off. I know of an older woman who does photography books and children’s books, and she self publishes but her income comes from her local community.

So maybe I( we) should tap into community. The only other option, sadly for me is to dedicate myself to writing and designing but not in the hopes of selling anything… too competitive. The only books making waves are erotic tik tok books, badly written series and well written traditional published series.
