I haven't personally published that yet, but I know of people who've made 40-80k on a single book or who have gotten into the hundreds of thousands with a series, largely from the post-50 Shades billionaire trend that's still popular. Others I've heard from have been able to make at least a few thousand right away, so even if the first book blow up the charts, working your way up to a decent non-fortune income doesn't take years and years. This page explains sales rankings: http://www.theresaragan.com/p/sale-ranking-chart.html, so when you're looking around at the romance charts or self-pubbed romances individually, you can get an idea of what people are making based on their prices (70% royalty for $2.99-9.99 if you don't know this already, going lower is only worthwhile for promotional things like shorts or the first book in a series). I've seen people try this and do very badly, but they're usually extreme novices who are honestly terrible at writing fiction, and/or they haven't done any research and have no understanding of what romance is about and what the audience wants. On Writing Romance by Leigh Michaels is a good overview that's very much geared toward beginning writers, so you have to skim a lot if you've been around a while, but I've learned so much about the genre. And Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is a great site for honest reviews and discussion.

Holy shit, selling an average of 40 books per day at 9.99/book can net 100k/year.

Wow.

Yeah, it's usually only the big publishers who charge that much, but you can really clean up at these rates. The average royalty for published paper books is something like 6%, so I didn't have a very hard time deciding to do it myself with ebooks instead.

Good for you. Good luck!

Thank you!
