An Inside Look At Niche Publishing



Remember, your niche could be too small for publishers to venture into. Even if all the customers bought books, there wouldn’t be enough sales to warrant the huge financial, time and resource commitment required of a traditional publisher. This is a great opportunity because your market is protected. You have a built in audience with no competition. All you have to do is commit to the project, organize your thoughts, complete a manuscript, edit the manuscript and publish it. 

I’ll demonstrate two methods of publishing your efforts and make big sales. None of these suggestions involve getting your book in bookstores, signing with major publishing companies or a success model involving a lot of wasted effort trying to replicate traditional publishing or traditional marketing efforts. The premise; you are writing for a niche, you’ve already found your audience. 

Getting StartedA familiar saying, “Necessity is the Mother of Invention” describes that a need comes before a product. Someone recognized the lack of a product and without successfully finding satisfaction, they met the need with their own invention. Many become wealthy and famous providing what they themselves found the world to lack. I have helped other professionals by providing practice tests and boosting the confidence of others who desire a security certification. Before I took my certification exam, I looked around for leadership. I found it was up to me to study for and pass the examination. So, I began to invent my own study program.

The ideas I developed were not conventional in the specialized security market. However, I had learned from college, previous military and life experience, how to set goals and establish a way to reach those goals. With a lack of publication in the area, I went about touching, experiencing, and researching everything I could about the certification. I volunteered for extra jobs at work (related to the certification) and took notes of my progress.

Great Reason to Self-Publish Two

Market Your Way-More and more publishing companies rely on the author to market books. Just look at the latest book covers and see which is larger the author's name or the book title? It's the author who sells books. As a niche professional, you have a built in market and your efforts can easily reach them. You know what works, so go to it. Many people are put off by marketing as I was when I first began. When a niche author serving in an industry with peer-customers, the last thing you want to do is bombard them with sales. Your role is the be the expert and provide answers. Cold calling is also not necessarily the answer in niche marketing. If you've developed a blog, newsletter or social media following, then you have your customer database. Your marketing efforts flow as you provide advice and answers to those following your posts, comments and articles. Many authors teach, speak, volunteer or are otherwise active in their professions. It's hard to remain o...
