Gordon Burgett lays it out succinctly and with
healthy realism. This is a great example of a niche
marketed book. He walks the talk.

What this book describes, above all, is how to
shift your thinking and see the possibilities to
make more money from writing and speaking. A lot
of people who want to be self-employed as writers
or consultants fail because they don't market
themselves effectively.

This book will either excite you if you are open-minded
about selling your stuff based on the presence
of a market for what you know, or it will repulse
you with it's mathematics and analysis.

At the end of the day the artist-writer would prefer
not to know there is no market for his book. Niche
Marketing is for the pragmatist - the man or woman
who needs to make money from writing and speaking
and is willing to adjust to the demands of the
marketplace. This book shows you how.

O.K. I've attended several seminars of Burgett's, so you could consider me a fan. I own several of his books--most of them baught from the back of the room--and this is my favorite one. His writing style, like his speaking style is to the point and personable. This book is a little rough around the edges--some typos, less flowing writing style--but the information (and I hope that is why you are considering this book) is sound, useful and inspiring. He followed this plan and it has worked very well for him.

I found this book less than inspiring. It just didn't deliver with much useful advice.

This guy is a fake. The book is ok. The author has no business writing about this topic. After purchasing a $39 ebook from his that did not deliver on the promise, I tried to get a refund and couldn't. I did some research on him and it turns out he has NO experience as a marketer. He's a general writer who's sold a lot of articles. He has NO business talking about "empire building" or "nich marketing". Besides the fact that he is extremely unprofessional in his business dealings.

I have Gordon Burgett's other Niche Marketing book and found both books very helpful. He packs lots of advice in his books and speaks from personal experience. I also have one of his audio tape series. I have enjoyed all of his products very much.

I highly recommend this book, as well as his other one on niche marketing.

It was OK but could be better.
