Which Books Sell?

The genres that sell are the ones that people need the most, that offer a big payoff to the recipient, and the one where people cannot merely find information in a simple Google search. Promote the books that people want or need.

People always need to:

·         Learn how to do something: get a job, fix a car, buy a house, raise kids.

·         Grow therapeutically, with self-help books, and find out how to live life fully.

·         Find love and make their relationships last.

·         Be inspired and motivated, to overcome setbacks, loss, death, failure, addiction.

·         Get rich and build up their wealth, pay off debts, and save on expenses.

·         Get the edge on creating and running a business, whether it is management, leadership, sales, entrepreneurship or climbing the workplace ladder.

·         Get healthy and lose weight, overcome a disease, or get stronger.

·         Escape with travel, entertainment, and lifestyle issues.

·         Discover their spirituality, whether it’s religion, meditation, or some type of guiding philosophy.

·         Prep for some kind of test, get into a school or program, or be selected for a certain position, so guides on how to gain entry into an exclusive club are in demand.

·         Of course, there are other genres that sell well, including fiction, sports, children’s books, etc. But in each of these genres consider the level of competition, how unique you can be vs. others, and whether the genre is growing, changing, or declining.
