the people buying what amounts to low effort and something of a low standard, is what's sad.
Nemmies, could just be really good, but then why self-publish, why not make more money by putting something good out there with a publisher? methinks it's because Nemmies is probably not so good.
i am a finance student, also learning affiliate marketing, kindle was more of a side project, its more beginner friendly and you get to saddle onto amazons fuck tons of traffic it was one of my first efforts at making money online i have made around 2200 dollars the past 5 months with very little money spent

hence why no one has approached Nemmies. Nemmies could do better, i'm sure of it.
they are recipe books that i slightly rewrote definitely not betty crockers but they make me money copyright law is a beauty

Volunteer and build up a nice collection of references and some places, dates and responsibilities to put on a resume. See what kind of temp work is going on in your area and maybe give something like a career link facility a try.
Learn a new skill, even if you can't afford classes or formal school at the moment, if you're tech-savvy there's a number of things pertaining to computers that you can learn on your own well enough to do freelance work.
also, you'll get a lot farther if you swallow your pride and realize everyone knows something you don't and you can learn a lot from any job experience whether or not it's flipping burgers.

it's sad because you just ripped off some shit from other people and didn't do anything.
you're a cheat. and also a poor influence. and a shitty person.
like i thought. you scammed and you think it's fuckin' great, because you make a buck. utter shite.
financing is bullocks. a crock. getting money for absolutely dick-all. for shame, ya weak-mind.
recipe books make money - more than grand literary achievement, though - that's fuckin' sad, too.

you're scam-tastic!
you even said it yourself. you charge people 4x the price for something that you "re-worded" from other cookbooks & Ibid something they could easily find on a cooking channel on Youtube.
you have copyright law on your side? ohhh so that makes it not a scam?
it's litter-ature. you've bested nothing. you've just made a corny attempt to be relevant by taking and "re-working" and taking liberties of other people's work, just for a buck, to show you can finance yourself by what? cheating, basically. you suck as author, and a financier.

taking people and re-working people's work is not ethical, it's plagiarism for plagiarism's sake. (and it's not equitable either, you're not helping the market, nor helping serve people anything more than what you've said your working against, the "price-gouging" cookbook recipe's you can get off the internet, AS YOU SAID YOURSELF.)
cookbooks are a cashcow, and you've cashed in on it. you've made it cheaper, but not for any ethical reason, hell no, you've done it to make quick cash. how is that ethical, especially when it was re-done from other people's work? you've ADMITTED IT. sorry, but not only should cookbooks in general be put on blast (notoriously over-expensive and over-popularized; the internet, frankly works just as well, as you've stated, but also, learning to cook proper and about food history or flavor combinations, that's all fine and dandy, and there are good cookbooks that have some recipes but focus on other aspects of homecooking; saves the trip to culinary school though does not best it by any means) but you, my friend, have cheated the system, and not ethically. not by a stretch.

not mad, just disgusted.
you know you've won the argument, when you get a "you mad bruh" statement of inferiority.
Amazon would love to hear about your profile here and your plagiarism, better go and edit yo' shit, not that it'd help that much...but nah, i don't eat cheese.
you're still a rip-off artist though.
i hope you don't accidentally obliterate your map with an item anytime soon.

it's pretty twisted, the message in your story here.
your career is royalty money from a cheap knock-off/rip-off cookbook? 2000 dollars in 5 months?
that's your stinking career? great stinking yarballs to you, chum.
i'm disgusted with your ethics. i'm disgusted with the triteness of the gormless bubble of pettiness you've convinced yourself is achievement.
