In many threads writers say they earn most of their money through having a strong backlist. I haven't seen as much discussion about what that actually means in numbers. To me it seems pretty clear that people with 50-100 (or even more!) titles available have a strong backlist, but are there any trends at lower numbers?
I'm new to all this, so just about anything would help me. If there are blog posts discussing statistics those would be great, but sometimes personal experiences can be more helpful. Has anyone noticed a shift at 10 titles, 20, etc? Are works written in separate kinks or subgenres basically separate backlists that don't reinforce each other much?
I know there won't be hard rules on this, but I'd still like to hear people's experiences. I'm personally thinking of numbers for self-pubbed erotica, btw, but I don't mean to say that people can only talk about that in this thread.
