In fact it's probably the most competitive industry in the world.

This message is intended for anyone who aspires to write books. In general, everyone has something to say to the world. To just write a book and have it as a trophy is not a challenge. But the moment you finish it, you think it's effortless. Why don't you keep going? I can do it. This process prompts you to consider the next step.  By the time you are ready to publish it, problems begin to arise. You consult someone, and they encourage you to move on to the next step. Now that you've already published it and are anticipating sales, you're questioning whether I wrote it so poorly. Do you dislike my story so much? Strangely, even acquaintances don't say anything to me. The disappointment begins. If you don't trust yourself, you'll likely give up. Well, I tried. But at night, you think of the second book and feel lost. You start getting interested in other authors on social media. But every new idea inspires you, and you go looking for another publisher again. This move is primarily due to your dissatisfaction with the publisher you've chosen. If you really want to succeed, this industry is not small. It's likely the world's most competitive industry, in fact. I thought of writing two or three books first and then advertising. I didn't care if they sold. I do it for fun. I'm not saying they don't sell at all. German books, for instance, are available in Germany with either hard or soft covers. But the English one was lame to me. Why? I didn't even have a smartphone. But there is LinkedIn and Facebook. These platforms are exclusively accessible to individuals I know. I don't like publicity; that's why I wrote under a pseudonym. I began reading and clearly understood what needed to be done before I actually started. For nearly two years I researched. I now know the formula myself. But my best advice is to start by reading the Dave Chesson-Kindlepreneur blog. Even if you summarize it, you won't find better information anywhere else. If you haven't read this blog, don't expect to succeed. It will, at the very least, cut your time to success by a year or two. This is not advertising but just advice to new colleagues
