Agreed, 100%.
The audience I am looking to appeal to is not the typical audience that most financial books are geared towards. My target audience will be late teens to mid twenties, but I imagine would be helpful to those that aren't all that financially savvy.
There are a ridiculous amount of financial books out there - however, the majority specify in a particular aspect of finances, be it stocks, real estate, savings, ect. My book will have be a comprehensive overview of all of those things, as well as many more topics. In addition, most financial books are rather... dry... and difficult to stay interested in. Although we have yet to see if I can accomplish otherwise, that is the goal.
To be honest, I'm not really all that concerned with how much I get paid (if at all) - just curious as to how it worked. I suppose my only hope is I don't need to
spend money to get published - If I made a dollar I'd be fine with it.
I'm not kidding myself, I don't think I am going to become a huge best-selling author or anything of the type, but I think it'd be neat to have (even a small) positive impact on people's lives that I have never met. If I make a few bucks on the way, that would be even better
Thanks for the ideas - keep them coming
