That actually made a big difference for me as well. When I had heard about self-published ebooks making money it was 37signals making $400,000+. That didn't inspire me at all since they had a massive audience. But when I read Sacha Greif and Jarrod Drysdale share their numbers from small audiences (an audience size I knew I could achieve) I was inspired. They made $6500 and $8000 from their ebook launches. Since I didn't have any kind of an audience at the time I thought if I did half that I would consider it a success. Turns out I did 2x! I still share numbers, since I always have, but I agree that it is the smaller numbers that are truly inspiring.
