@youronlyone For things to take into consideration? It can be real hard to get noticed, even more so these days. To keep the readers you have, I'd say you absolutely need an update schedule you can stick to. Which means if you're not doing seat-of-the-pants, that you start with a backlog. @NaraMoore even has enough buffer to fire parts through beta readers, which is a great idea.
Can't speak to industry, this is a side gig for me. All the best!
