Goodreads asked Gerald Everett Jones:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Gerald Everett Jones My advice for aspiring writers is not to get hung up on book sales. If you're writing nonfiction, you probably want to be known as an expert, an authority, or a practitioner. Your goal is to build your reputation and your practice. If you are writing fiction, your goal is to build your fan base. Neither of those goals is directly related to how much income you derive from book sales.
