Great post, Ryan and Tim. Just wanted to chime in with a few other tips based on my experience as a self-publisher: 1. Some niches sell more in paper. I publish in LSAT prep. The LSAT is a pencil and paper test, and sales are MUCH higher for paper books (based on comparative sales ranks, and the duds that appear in the top LSAT kindle books).

No one mentions e-books on forums, either. So know your niche. Government Warning Paranoid Mess Raritan.

Paper royalties can actually be quite high, too. If you use Createspace, you can earn at least 40%. I’m earning between 60-70% of sales price on paper book sales due to amazon having discounted my book (without reducing royalties). I used LSI as a second publisher to list my book on B & N’s website and force price competition. Look for niches that have moats.

And as a sales trainer and speaker myself, I can say that this is the ultimate book for sales people in any industry no matter what skill level you are currently at.” View the Full.

Let's say that you make the most amazing spaghetti sauce and your friends tell you that you should turn it into a business.

It also means competitors are not likely to enter my niche, as it is not very lucrative.

There are many small niches that traditional publishers would never touch – they’re just not worth it. But if you can add $100-$1000 per month to your income, then that can make a significant difference in your life. There are countless niches capable of supporting this level of book sales.

You flood my inbox if I do that 🙂 Liked. Great comment Graeme – I agree with a lot of what you wrote and was about to write a similar comment, especially about the smaller niches.

I recently published a book (kindle and paperback) called “How to Propose Without Screwing it Up: 50 Common Mistakes You Won’t Know You’re Making and How to Avoid them” and I am absolutely shocked as how well a very targeted book like that is selling.
