New writers have often been the cause of some of their own failures when trying to sell their own self-published book. Unlike what many people believe it takes some well thought out planning when deciding what to write if you want to be a successful author.

To begin with there's keywords, market saturation, traffic, conversion rates, graphics and a dozen other basic pieces of information that needs to be considered before you write anything other than the title and a short overview.

You can begin your research by going to Google and;

• Title - Typing in the proposed title of your book, see what comes up. It would be terrible to find out that your title "Sarah's Closet" is also the name of a popular porn site.

• Competition - type in the word - book: with a colon and your title or subject and you will instantly find any other book titles in your genre.

• Traffic - determine your likely profitability but typing in your subject title, for example "Life Coaching in Indiana" when you do you will find that 958,000 links and 2 sponsored links. All you need is 300,000 links to achieve potential profitability and at least a couple of sponsored links like that found above.

• Current Events - type in the word news with a colon - news: and than type in your title or subject and you will find hundreds of current news articles and online posts.

• Traffic - in your research go to a couple of the biggest and smallest websites. Than go to statbrain.com and put in their web address in the search bar their, the traffic results to that website. This will tell you a lot, so study the high traffic sites, look at the colors, words and even the layout, and consider your plans.

Take time to assess your potential success with a few visits to Google if you plan on selling hundreds of your self-published books.
