Why writing a book is a stupid idea [in 2024] ?? – Here is what you should do.

I get it—writing a book feels like the ultimate way to make an impact and establish credibility. I thought the same and wrote 2 books. But the results were not what I expected.

It took me ??.?? ?????????? (May 2016 - Dec 2020) to write my 1st book, Beat Depression.

In the 1st week, with just 2 posts, I sold ?????? ???????????? @ $????. ($5 for India, $10 outside India)

Sounds great, right?

But here’s the catch: I already had an audience of ?????????? ???????? ????????????.

What followed was endless management—

- Sending books to ?????? ???????????? ?? (since I was hosting it on my website)

- Constant emails and questions.

This was before we had the amazing automation tools we do now. And I did not have the willpower to rework the tech things.

It suddenly turned into a full-time job!

?????? ???? ??????, ?????? ???????????? ???????? ?????????? ??????????.

- To create an impact ??

- To become a bestseller

- To start a business with a credibility booster

- To be seen as a thought leader or an expert

?????? here’s the reality: (4 million books were published in 2023 ?? [Source: Tonerbuzz com])

· Around ????% sell fewer than 12. Can you see that? 50% sells only 12 copies.

· Over ????% ???? ?????????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ??,?????? ????????????.

· Remaining sells about 3,000 copies in its lifetime, with less than 500 sold in the 1st year. (Selling over 5,000 copies is considered successful.)

· Only 0.08% of books published annually (U.S.) make the bestseller lists (at least 10,000 copies in the 1st week.)

The harsh reality is only a few books get sold.

I am sure

You don’t want to invest thousands of hours in writing a book and then find out that nobody will even buy it.

Few who will buy (like your mom, friends, or colleagues ??) won't even read it.

So, the main question is why are you writing and for whom are you writing?

For Mom? For Friends?

Writing a book is easy; making it successful is the real challenge.

?????????? ???????? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????? ?? ????????:

????????-??????????????????: Writing can give you false hope. You will think that it will change things. But in reality, you will just waste 2-3 years of life and not take action on the things really important.

See, I am not a pessimist; I am a realist. Positive thinking won't help you succeed. It will just keep you sane for some time.

Smart thinking will help you succeed.

I am not a quitter too, who will tell you to quit writing a book?

I’ve also got solutions.

??????’?? ???????? ???????? ?? ?????????? ???? ?????????? ?? ???????????????????? (1 million+ copies sold)

Let us look at bestselling authors like:

· James Clear (Atomic Habits)

· Dale Carnegie (How to Win Friends and Influence People)

· Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich)

· Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

· Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich)

They didn’t just write bestsellers out of nowhere. They spent years building it. Learn from them, do what they did. Build your credibility and expertise first. Then write your 1st book.

Then you can be sure of your audience’s pain points and what helps them.

This process will also keep you motivated and bring in revenue ??. And allow you to invest more time into writing.

Looking back, I wish I had taken this approach sooner. It would have saved me years of frustration.

????????????????:

Focus on building your business first. Scale your services, and create value. Before you write a book, get to at least $50K/month.

When you’re ready, the book will amplify your impact instead of being just another task on your list.

Look at any bestseller—the work behind it is huge. The book is just a piece of their success, not the whole story.
