I chose my domain name: thepowerofeverythingthatis.com. It’s my own name-no one else on Earth can have it. I own it. I picked a nice picture out for background-it looks really sweet, much better than a blank sheet in a diary. I got it from a site that gives photos out without charging a royalty (the first few): www.istockphoto.com.

I just want you to know great feeling I got when I first typed in my domain name and my site came up! It was equivalent to a person who’s afraid of heights being accepted into an astronaut’s mission into outer space. Or maybe it was like a turtle driving a Ferrari 300km per hour. Possibly it was like all ants in world getting together for peace talks.

It’s a real blast having this blog. I can write on it any time, anywhere, from my laptop, at an Internet café etc. I can write as much as I want, and I’m hoping one day my writing may inspire others to communicate with me about subjects that I’m interested in.

Look, if you like writing about anything, and want to have your thoughts and opinions on Internet, maybe meeting others similar to yourself in progress; you have to get a blog and get it now. Don’t be afraid any longer, world is in palm of your hands; it’s time to get on!

John Grisham, incidentally, sold copies of his first novel A Time to Kill out of boot of a car which at outset was his sole 'vehicle' for distribution…

But we are concerned here with another genre, a genre that permits self-expression under predetermined guidelines designed to give you a better than evens chance of publication without necessity of paying for privilege, providing always that your work and its presentation are painstakingly and professionally executed.

DETERMINE YOUR PROPENSITY FOR CREATING NICHE NON-FICTION

Ask yourself these questions and spend a few minutes in quiet reflection before you provide answers.

1. Do you like to read, be it fiction or non fiction? 2. Do you enjoy writing letters, reports, or whatever? 3. Do you have a better than average vocabulary? 4. Do you strive at every opportunity to enhance your personal word power? 5. Do you persist with crosswords until you've solved all clues? 6. Do you have an enquiring mind? Do you have special interests? 7. Do you have expertise in any particular subject(s)? 8. Would you undertake research to confirm and expand on what you think you know? 9. Would you be prepared to share this knowledge with others? 10. Would you be willing to make time to write about it for pleasure and profit? 11. Are you comfortable about committing your private thoughts to paper? 12. Are you self-disciplined? 13. Are you relaxed about working on your own?

If you can genuinely answer 'yes' to all of these questions, you already have nucleus of a powerful propensity for creating niche non fiction in shape of self-help and how-to guides.

If on other hand you answered 'yes' to most and 'no' to a few, then work on those negative areas.

If you answered 'no' to Question 8, then think again and dig deeply this time. Most people have expert knowledge on something or other. It could be a job, a hobby, or any of a thousand disparate topics.

And should you consider that what you know would be of little value to anyone else, you would be wrong.

Many people share a passion for your particular area of interest and are anxious to become even better informed.
