Hope for Small Niches & Publishing eBooks/Books
The 4-Hour Body is currently ranked #7 on Amazon for hardcovers, & #3 for the Kindle version.
Tim Ferris gives some advice for targeting the fitness & self help readership:
“Don’t target the lowest-common denominator. Do NOT try to write for everyone. Pen your book for your closest two friends who need it, then find the 2-5 blogs those two people would read. It’s really as simple as that. We’re at the dawn of the creators’ age, when you don’t have to dumb down your material to have a bestseller; you don’t have to kow-tow to big media that wants to dilute your message so that it offends no one and interests no one. The publisher — you — can decide the fate of your ideas. That’s should be exciting to every writer and would-be writer out there. The timing couldn’t be better.”
Yep, it definitely excites me for sure!! Also, after seeing the issues that several friends have had with traditional publishing, going at it yourself seems to be the way to go.
Have you thought about writing a book?
