Choosing a Great Niche for Short Kindle Books

Let’s talk about choosing a great niche or topic to write about. I’m not going to spend a huge amount of time on this part. I mention and include this because I would feel remiss if I didn’t.

I feel I should mention niche selection because, while a good niche can mean success, a poor niche can mean utter failure. 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 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 right now because it’s not just a hobby for you.
