People who are way more successful than I am tell me this:

Once you've published approximately ten books, your sales go way up. The reason is that you now have ten ways for people to discover you. And when someone likes one of your books, you now have nine ways for them to find other books they love from you, so they are more likely to become fans.

When you have fewer books, there are fewer ways for people discover you, and fewer ways for satisfied readers to become fans.

So their advice to me (and maybe to you?) is always the same: Publish more books.
