If you keep working and keep growing your skill and business, the success will show up. Keep your goals realistic and manageable. That doesn't mean undersell yourself, it means celebrate all the small things and all the small gains.

No, you do not pay submission fees or reading fees. In traditional publishing the money flows to the author.

If you're looking at a currently open novella submissions page, and you have to pay $20 just to submit your novella, and only get 20% of royalties if you do get accepted
I beg you.
Do not.

You will sell more, earn more, and matter more self-publishing than with help like that.

Please, I'm begging you, do not look at a Mercator Projection map when you compare country sizes in contemporary fiction. It's inaccurate.

Pro Tip:
Always have a bestie you can talk publishing to when you're stressed. You need someone to rant to about work so you aren't venting online.

When an agent says "Send 3 Chapters" it doesn't mean you can send them 150 pages (or the whole book) because your chapters are long. Fifty pages is probably your max for a 3 chapter request.

No matter how great your book is, there's someone out there with an equally good book. There's probably even someone with a similar idea.
If the agent has to choose, they'll pick the person who they think they'll work with best. So put your best foot forward.

Publishing is a business and agents aren't looking to go into business with someone who cuts corners, does shoddy work, or can't be trusted to act like a professional.

Trying to be sneaky isn't a red flag.

I have yet to meet an agent (or editor) who sees you try some trickery to send them more pages and thinks, "Ah! What a clever person!"

Universally they seem to think, "What an a-hole." and reject.
