Self-Publishing: Write What You Know
Or, in the case of fiction, write about the things that
interest you. The most successful self-published authors
write their work to be something they themselves would enjoy
reading. What most people don't think about, but
self-published authors understand, is that if there's one person
interested in a given subject or topic, there are usually
several more, and those interests can translate into a nice
second income.
In the more popular areas of subject matter,
there are hundreds of authors with multiple hundreds of
titles, many offering very similar information, but with
different phrasing, tone, or prioritization, such that two
titles with the same information may each find sufficient
market share. Title A may reach many people, yet leave many
others uninterested, while Title B will reach many that Title
A did not, yet those who read Title A may not find Title B
interesting at all.
Write what you know, write what you love,
write it in such a way that you enjoy reading it and the
writing portion of your self-publishing quest may be
considered done and done well.
