4. The Massive Passionate Audience.

These are readers of Chicken Soup series. Think about 70 million plus sold so far, and authors didn't even have to write book. Full of inspirational short stores, this audience responded well. The authors, did however, put on a full-blown marketing campaign for years.

Your book will have a lot of competition in this category, yet sheer volume of sales like 70 million who shop Wal-Mart every day can make up for that. One client wrote a how-to book aimed at now 70 million baby boomers out there called "Put Old on Hold." She's an inspiration herself--looks and feels like 50.

Think about your book. Is one aim to entertain and inspire?
