Let's take a break from tactics.
Most long-term royalties often don't come from exciting ideas. Sometimes they come from books that feel almost… dull.
Question: What is your most boring book that still makes money?
Reply with:
- Topic or niche (not exact)
- Why you thought it would flop
- What it does instead (steady, seasonal, slow growth, etc.)
- One lesson it taught you
Examples welcome. Bragging not required, but welcomed.
If you have no boring earners yet, answer this instead: Which book surprised you by not working, even though you thought it was solid?
