When I first started
publishing my books,
Kindle Unlimited at Amazon
hadn’t been invented.
Amazon didn’t dominate
the book business
like it does now.
Sales were spread over
many booksellers.
If writers wanted healthy sales,
they had to list their books
at all these booksellers.
That cost time
and money.
Today, Amazon is, by far,
the biggest bookseller.
Many newer writers only
list their books there.
That saves them money
and time
and it focuses their efforts.
Skipping the step
of listing at all booksellers
gives them a huge advantage.
Seth Godin
shares
“I’m sure
there was a really good reason
twenty years ago
for all the steps
that are now involved
in the thing you do right now,
but your competitor,
the one who is starting from scratch,
is skipping most of them.”
If you’re starting your business
now,
YOU are the competitor
Seth Godin is talking about.
Skip the unnecessary steps.
