It's All About Getting Known
Ruth Douillette, one of the the IWW's administrators, posted a link on our group's discussion list to an interesting article about self-publishing.
Patricia Kitchen covered the idea in the Business section of the July 6th, 2007 Newsday, "Can self-publishing help your career?"
The consensus is, "Yes," but there are caveats. One self-published writer cared more about getting her message about diabetes "out there" and so she hired a publicist. Total sales: 600 copies of Eating Soulfully and Healthfully with Diabetes.
It is about the book, of course, and the article addressed professional how to works rather than novels, but it seems if you have the right product and work hard enough, you might stumble onto the road to success.

Hey Gary;
I just tracked back to you from a comment you left elsewhere. You rocked my world with the words "I believe we are all crips, gimps, and retards in our own way -- blind to the possibilities of love, ignorant of its power, afraid of exposing our neediness."
I'll definitely be back to explore more.
