Yea, well neither are most of the guys out there shooting and selling their own content now are they? Anybody can jump on ebay and buy a digital camera, but that doesn't make them a photographer.
Most people never think that to be a good shooter, you not only have to invest in good equipment, you have to invest in some education. Some of the things I see wrong with most of these guys work is basic shit that you can read about in most beginner photography books - exposure, composition, lighting. Only thing is that reading this material is not good enough - you need to practice. And, it always helps to have someone who can evaluate your work, point out the problems and suggest how to improve and fine tune your skills.
I've rapped with a lot of guys out there shooting and selling their own content, but most are out "not" to become good shooters, but only to make a buck. I never got into photography to become rich - but I am. Not rich in a monetary sense, but rich in the fact that I love what I do, I'm pretty good at it and wouldn't want to be doing anything else. How many people can say that?
