Hi Friend,
I have received numerous requests from nonfiction authors to shed more light on the market for books about self-help, skills, and self-improvement.
Let's face it: People want to be happier. They want to be better and more successful. They seek solutions.
No wonder the book industry for self-help is estimated to be worth $800 million in the U.S. alone and growing at 6% per year, according to Marketdata Enterprises, Inc.
So I had another look at the Self-Help category on Kindle over the last five years; and yes, it has shown a positive development.
It was interesting to see what self-help and personal transformation categories rose and which ones dropped during the recent lockdown period.
We did not stop there but compiled a comprehensive genre report covering 148 categories related to self-help, skills, and self-improvement.
Due to the seemingly low barriers of entry, the market is crowded and competitive on Kindle.
However, once a book makes it into a topical Top 100 list, chances are high it can stick there if it gets at least some traction with readers and regular sales.
You can get access to the full research results and videos here:
