30k a year is nothing to scoff at, but think of it this way.
If your book is priced around say $7.99
To make 30k a year you’d have to
>sell approximately 40,000 copies as a trad pubbed author if being generous.
>sell approximately 6,000 copies as a self pubbed author
Unless wildly successful, that requires planning, forethought, a pre existing audience to meerkat towards, and (you guessed it) meerkatting.
Most of the guys here hate planning, but even more hate the idea of meerkatting.
