A group of writers had a b*tchfest online
about how the market is over-saturated
(which it is).
Their solution was
for ‘hobby’ writers to withdraw
their books
from the market.
This would work
except that this solution hinges upon
everyone else taking action
and no one thinks
they’re this ‘everyone else.’
It is also d*mn
difficult to convince someone else
to do anything.
If it was easy,
no one would have a sales issue.
Unfortunately these types of solutions
get bandied around
at every brainstorming session
in every industry.
When looking at solutions,
concentrate on the options
that you can tackle,
that don’t require other people
(especially competitors)
to take action.
Don’t ask everyone else
to get out of market.
