What Are The Best Niches for Kindle Publishing 2018 ? - Non Fiction Niches Explained

About this video

Sean compares nonfiction niches he has tried, saying there is no single best niche and each has pros and cons. Health, fitness, and diet books sell great on Kindle and paperback and surprisingly well on ACX, but the niche is saturated and beginners need a sub-niche, such as a diet for a specific group. He claims his best-selling diet book made $5000 in its first month and over $30000 in less than one year. Cookbooks share those sales strengths, especially around Christmas and Black Friday, but sell poorly as recipe audiobooks on ACX and are also very competitive. Business, money, and investing is steady across Kindle, paperback, and ACX, has repeat buyers and backend affiliate potential, but attracts skeptical, analytical readers who leave negative reviews for minor errors. Programming and technical books can stand out if quality is high, but images make ghostwriting expensive and mistakes are punished. Self-help has repeat buyers, sells well on Kindle and great on ACX, allows broader email lists and more leeway on content, but is only so-so on paperback. Spirituality is good on Kindle and ACX, has affiliate products and lenient readers, but is weak on paperback and was hard for him to outline because he did not understand the topic.

Key takeaways

• Diet and health books can be very profitable but are saturated, so beginners should enter through a specific sub-niche
• Sean claims his best diet book made $5000 in the first month and over $30000 in less than one year
• Cookbooks are strong on Kindle and paperback, especially in holiday season, but recipe books do not sell well on ACX
• Business and programming audiences are analytical and quick to leave negative reviews for errors, so accuracy and proofreading matter more there
• Self-help and spirituality offer repeat customers, strong ACX sales, and more content leeway, but weaker paperback sales than diet and cookbooks
