Is the Genre Profitable?
It takes a bit of time and research, but here's how you find out if your genre is profitable or not.
First of all, we have to hone in a bit. Something like Romance (or Science Fiction or Fantasy or Mystery, Thriller and Suspense) is too broad.
Here's what we do:
Go to amazon.com and click on Best Sellers and then Kindle Store.
Note that the reader we are after typically pays less than $5 for their weekly (or even daily) fix so we are primarily focusing on publishing to Kindle. That's not to say we won't spend the extra 20 minutes to create a paperback as well, but it's not our primary aim.
From here, we will go to either Kindle eBooks or Kindle Short Reads. I'll cover both. We'll go to Kindle eBooks first.

Hi Phil,
I suppose you know there is a young woman with an Australian accent selling this information as a training course on the internet at the moment. She wants 2000 dollars for the info you've given us here. Or is she you in disguise? Whatever... The info is worth the 2000, if you have it to pay out.

No, I wasn't aware of that. Where can I find it?
Interestingly, I'm preparing two training courses to be released in the new year. The second one is on writing and publishing your book. I wasn't planning on charging anything like $2,000 though.
I have a website for registering interest. I can't mention it here as it would be self-promotion, but I think I listed it as one of the 7 you're allowed to mention in your profile.
Thanks for this information, Guenady. I really appreciate it and it's given me an incentive to finish the course sooner.
If you can give me that link, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi again, Phil.
I'm in Portugal, so I was sleeping when you replied.
Here is a link on YouTube, to Sophie Howard :
___
Next time one of her ads comes up for me, I'll grab the link for you... Very professional. The interview is from 5 months ago, and in the ads she's been through a make-over and looks more 'prosperous'. Or maybe it's just better lighting... Anyway, one can pay in 4 installments and it seems she's doing okay with her training... I hope you can give her some competition! Go for it!
PS : Something about the link won't go through. Just look up Sophie Howard on YouTube...

This is fantastic training Phil, and it's what I will come back to for a refresher when I'm ready to tackle Amazon. I look forward to taking the part 3 of this training series, it has really simplified the process.
This sure gets the wheels turning to brim with ideas!
Many thanks!
John
