Choosing a Topic for Your Book
In this episode, I’ll mainly focus on brainstorming a book topic, but it’s most helpful to choose a great, general niche or topic to write about before you start to brainstorm an exact topic.
I feel I should mention niche selection because, while a good niche can mean (but not guarantee) success, a poor niche can mean utter failure. It’s not really something you should just choose off the top of your head.
Just because you like a certain topic doesn’t mean everyone else is interested in buying a book about it. I don’t want you to write your heart out on a topic you’ve brainstormed that will never sell. That’s just not the way to go—unless writing is strictly a hobby for you. And I think you’re reading this book right now because it’s not just a hobby for you.
Again, you have to make sure the topic you choose is selling well on Kindle already. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Follow what’s already working and already selling. If you publish on a hot topic, the chances are good that you’ll probably get some sales.
