This is a core objective and it's where your work begins in earnest.
Without efficient research you are blowing in the wind and your proposal for publication is unlikely to touch the vital nerve that captures the attention of commissioning editors.
For many established authors researching is often the most fulfilling aspect of preparing a given topic for publication.
As you research you will find yourself uncovering diverse strands of critical new information that will tempt you veer off in other rewarding directions or even on occasion, change direction completely.
CHARTING THE ROUTE BEFORE YOU RESEARCH
Let’s imagine you are intent on producing a resource manual notionally entitled How to Become an Expert on Light Bulbs (you wouldn’t, but let’s just hypothecate for illustration purposes). Make out a list of the pivotal aspects of the subject. It might pan out like this.
o Light bulb sizes
o Shapes
o Power requirements
o Manufacturers
o Types of fitting
o Novelty bulbs
o Industrial bulbs
o Lighting for sports stadia
o Christmas lighting
o Stage lighting
o Street lighting
o High intensity
o Low intensity
…and so on
Now compare this listing with your list of what you know, what you don't know, and annotate each item on the list accordingly; tick for 'yes', cross for 'no'.
1. Connect to the Internet and open your browser - choose a search engine and type in ‘light bulbs’.
2. Start collecting links for everything you come across.
3. Divide the links into categories and sub-categories.
Finding out what you need to know online shouldn’t prove too difficult but you will cut down considerably on research time if you follow the directions outlined in the next section.
HOW TO CONDUCT INTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE
For best results the bulk of your research ought to be conducted online, but unless you know the shortcuts to effective cyberspace fact-finding, you could spend hours on end in fruitless searches.
It's very easy to stray when you are using the search engines because loads of similar looking topics and dissertations abound on the Internet.
But with your goals properly defined before you go out searching, you will be able to focus on exactly what it is you are setting out to uncover.
Comprehensive briefings are available in three authoritative reports you can read online or download for free.
How to Conduct Research on the Internet

How to Conduct a Search Online
http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/dept/ivc/library/how1.htm
Internet Research - Finding Hard Data
http://www.bugsoft.com/research/index.html
Having absorbed the valuable information contained in these reports, I recommend you restrict your searching to http://www.google.com. Use the ‘advanced search’ facility and you’ll reduce your workload by several hours.
For some of the items on the list where you thought you knew it all, you'll learn more; for those you marked with a cross, you will locate answers to further enhance your grasp on the topic.
NICHE RESEARCHING
An excellent method for conducting online niche research is to use the keyword suggestion tool provided by http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
At that page, enter a keyword relating to the potential niche feature you have in mind, and the tool will present you with the number of times that keyword was searched on via the network. It will also show the number of times related keywords were searched on.
This will give you an indication of what your possible niche bears for interest.
If you find a decent amount of interest, say a few thousand or more combined monthly searches on keywords directly related to what you want to write about then you may be in a solid niche. Keep a file of the results of your keyword research.
Next, go to your favorite search engine and search on some of those same keywords. Keep a file of these results too. The information you uncover will be invaluable.
As you can readily appreciate, developing your concept requires some legwork and even after you have completed the research, you still have to write your book. But as with all good things, you get out of it only what you put in.
These online models for effective research can yield excellent results when done properly

Choosing a Topic for Writing a How -To Book
Review in depth the intelligence you have accumulated over the years and you will have no problem in identifying where your primary source of expertise lies.
However, before cementing your choice of a topic it will be necessary to run the data through several tests to confirm its suitability as the subject matter for your first how-to book.
1. Will the topic be convincing enough to warrant widespread appeal among devotees?
2. Will you be capable of confirming its validity and expanding on received data?
3. Will you be able to convert your expertise into a teaching module?
4. Will the accumulated material manifest a disposition for regular updating?
5. Will the topic have the potential for subsequent editions?
6. Will it have the propensity to spawn more books on disparate aspects of the subject?
7. Will you tempted to abandon the project if your topic has already been covered?
You won't be able to resolve all of these questions right now but you will be by the time you've finished studying my famous writing course.

Work at Home and Make Money Writing for Profit in Your Spare Time
When you work at home to make money writing for profit you do it in your own time, your spare time.
What spare time do I hear you yell at me?
Time is what you make of it and if you try (really, really try) you can always allocate a little for yourself to express self-initiative, develop your great extra income idea and make money writing.
You might even qualify for some public sector assistance by way of government grants.
There again there might be multiple mental blocks standing in your way; blocks like…
o Too busy
o Too old
o Too young
o Too tired
o Too retired
o Too broke
o Too redundant
o Too rejected
o Too much to hope for…
TOO BUSY?
Well, you know what they say: if you want something done in a hurry; your best plan is to ask a busy person.
If you’re a stay-at-home mom looking after the kids, create a slot, exercise some self initiative and become instead a work at home mom.
TOO OLD?
Says who?
You’re only as old as you have a mind to be.
Develop your great income idea and work at home writing for profit.
TOO YOUNG?
Rubbish. Go for it. You may not get a second chance to work at home.
TOO TIRED?
Then book a wake-up call. Creativity is happening all around you.
Subscribe to one my creative writing courses and start writing for profit.
TOO RETIRED?
Then start all over again, get back in the driver’s seat and use your accumulated expertise to work at home and make money writing for profit.
TOO BROKE?
Then enquire about government grant assistance for people who want to work at home.
TOO REDUNDANT?
So you’re finding it difficult finding employment?
Then do something else meantime, draw upon your expertise, spend the time developing your great income idea and make some money writing for profit.
Subscribe to one of my creative writing courses and work at home.
TOO REJECTED?
There’s only one way to get rid of it.
Forget it - but only after you’ve forgiven those who are doing the rejecting.
They don’t know your side of it and even if they did, they probably wouldn’t understand anyway.
Pick yourself up, evaluate your expertise and set about making money writing as you work at home.
TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR?
Can’t be or you wouldn’t be still reading this…

The Perfect Solution for Publishing Your Creative Writing Output
It has never been easy to have your creative writing output accepted by traditional publishing houses.
Witness these famous masters of fiction who were all obliged to take the route of shelling out hard cash to have their debut novels printed.
Alexandre Dumas
D.H. Lawrence
Edgar Allan Poe
George Bernard Shaw
Witness these famous masters of fiction who were all obliged to take the route of shelling out hard cash to have their debut novels printed.
Alexandre Dumas
D.H. Lawrence
Edgar Allan Poe
George Bernard Shaw
Gertrude Stein
James Joyce
John Grisham
Mark Twain
Mary Baker Eddy
Rudyard Kipling
Stephen Crane
Upton Sinclair
Virginia Woolf
Walt Whitman
William Blake
Zane Grey
John Grisham, incidentally, sold copies of his first novel “A Time to Kill” out of the boot of a car which at the outset was his sole 'vehicle' for distribution…
And it is getting tougher all the time – even for established authors.
It can be doubly frustrating when you’ve written something that you are desperate to see in print; something you want other people to read.
There is always recourse to the cut-throat vanity publishing houses of course but I wouldn’t take that route come what may.
Imagine my surprise then when I stumbled across the perfect solution for publishing creative output that you can’t place elsewhere.
I have a string of traditionally published titles currently in circulation but I have an equal string that I have never been able to get into print.
That is until now…
The little known but highly reputable POD (print on demand) source I have discovered requires an initial membership fee that covers unlimited titles.
In a nutshell: Instead of requiring an initial order of 10 or 100 books, they send you the first copy of your book free and then print-on-demand and ship when we receive an order from you or your customer.
This website is well worth a visit especially if you are still trying to get your first book into print.
You could have your own library up and running in next to no time.

How to Top and Tail Your Book To Ensure Publication
To top and tail your niche non-fiction book is to equip it with a preface (or introduction) and a persuasive sales 'blurb' for the back cover.
Neither of these tasks is to be undertaken lightly and you would do well to delay execution until after you have completed the text.
Do not be tempted to take the easy way out by padding them with extracts from the book. That simply does not work and in any case no publisher would allow it.
The preface and the back cover blurb each have a distinctive function to perform and their respective contributions are germane to the success of your work.

Deciding on the Right Time to Write
Some people find it conducive to confine their writing to the early morning when the brain is refreshed, alert and eager to start work; others set an allotted time during the day which they stick to regardless of demands on their attention, while a fortunate few (who only ever seem to write when the muse is upon them) find that as soon as the pen is uncapped or the word processor switched on, their creativity is automatically unleashed.
Whichever path you follow, try to write a little every day and never allow a week to pass without some progress; otherwise you may start to lose interest, or worse still, lose confidence in your ability to complete the project.
Individual circumstances also have a bearing on allocating time to write. If you are out working 9-5 on weekdays, then early morning and/or late evening may be your only options. If you are a homemaker, retired, or currently unemployed, you may be more relaxed about choosing times to write.
In general terms though, the best advice anyone can give is to go with the flow and never try to force creativity. Write when you feel like writing don't write when you don't feel like it.

Establishing the Depth of Your Knowledge Before You Write a Book
Never take for granted that you already know enough about your special subject to fill a book.
No one is that clever.
Spend some time testing out the depth of your knowledge by making lists of what you know and what you don't know.
Take particular note of those areas that require substantiation or where you are lacking corroborative detail.
Confirming validity and expanding on information
This is where you start your research and it is a vital task. Most of what you need you will find online at home or in the free-to-use 'active learning' centers provided by your local library where you can double up by accessing appropriate hard copy references manuals.

What You Gain from Constant Application to Creative Writing
People who make a practice of writing about what they know quickly discover that they know a lot more than they ever imagined about matters they thought they knew little or nothing.
Consistent application draws on all three levels of the mind and opens up the labyrinth of the subconscious, providing a steady stream of factual information and hitherto untapped ideas.
You will experience the magic of this phenomenon for yourself when you decide to take the plunge and embark on your first assignment as a niche non-fiction writer.

Enjoying Your Own Company Produces Better Work
It's a fact. If it does not faze you to be totally on your own for an hour or two every day you will discover that indulging in introspection and cultivating innate intuition comes easy.
As a result, your output will rapidly increase and improve in quality.
This is not to imply that gregarious people don't make good writers.
They do, providing there is no necessity for a backdrop of din and chatter while they work.

Why Writing Part Time Works Best For Some Authors
Most established authors start out writing on a part time basis and while many go on to make a career of the art form, others find it more convenient to continue writing part time for a number of reasons, including:
1. They are at liberty to pursue other commercial interests.
2. They prefer to use their creative skills as an outlet from workaday pressures.
3. They derive therapeutic benefits from part time writing.
4. They find it hones their expertise in diverse directions.
5. They reckon it adds to the quality of life.
6. They enjoy financial advantages from a second income.

Developing Your Own Slant on a Prescribed Topic
The ability to develop your own particular slant on a given topic contributes to bestselling potential.
Everyone has their own way of looking at things, describing how they work and what makes them tick.
When Napoleon Hill and Clement Stone got together to produce the famous self-help book "Think and Grow Rich" they took the timeless and much worked concept of mind over matter and subjected it to the twist of two disparate viewpoints blending together to yield a rich harvest.
Interestingly, although both names appear on the original cover, there was only one author, Napoleon Hill, the architect of the slant that transformed their work into a bestselling book spanning eight decades in worldwide bookstores.
If you can find an unusual angle, a different approach or a hitherto unworked technique for your topic, you are on the way to developing the unique proclivity that will set your work apart from similar tomes.

Why Planning and Persistence Pays Off for Creative Writers
Persistence pays off in all walks of life because it utilises innate powers to inject increase in all that you undertake.
Once you are clear in your own mind what it is you want to achieve, be prepared to persist until you have accomplished it. There is no point in putting thought, work and effort into developing a plan if you fail to carry it out.
The real achievers in life are those ordinary people who go about their business quietly and efficiently, ticking off each goal on the list as it is accomplished.
Plans don't just fall into line because progress never just 'happens'. You have to make it happen through persistent effort and as you persist you will find that inspiration flows more easily, your command of the project is enhanced and your writing skills improve effortlessly.

Why Not To Be Dismayed If There Are Lots Of Competitive Books On Your Subject
What if your topic is already listed in dozens of publishers' catalogs - and not just once but twice or even three times?
What if some of these titles have already knocked up multiple editions?
Rejoice.
There is documented evidence of consumer demand for your topic.
Self-help publishers are always on the lookout for acceptable alternatives to top selling products.
It's a case of market forces and the in-house competition factor coming into play; like several leading brands of detergent powder emanating from the same manufacturing source.

The Mission Statement that Strikes a Timeless Niche
The mission statement for Wallace D Wattles’ 1910 classic self-help book is brief, succinct, and prophetic. It reads, "To inspire, encourage, and exemplify abundance thinking and a strong sense of self-worth for people of goodwill everywhere."
Wallace chose his topic from what he was witnessing all around him: poverty and despair brought about by a vicious spiralling downturn in the economy. The title for his first and only book (he died shortly after publication) is The Science of Getting Rich.
It strikes a timeless niche because everyone everywhere wants to learn how to get rich. Nowadays there is a web site entirely dedicated to the book www.scienceofgettingrich.net where visitors can download the hard copy version for free or purchase it in audiotape format.

Testimonials power up interest, especially if they are high calibre such as those on the back cover of Linda Seger's popular how-to book on screenwriting.

"An invaluable tool for the working writer, replete with useful examples from actual scripts" - RICHARD WALKER, SCREENWRITING FACULTY CHAIRMAN, UCLA DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE, FILM AND TELEVISION
"Linda Seger has written quite simply the most brilliant and useful book on screenwriting I have ever seen." - WILLIAM KELLEY, ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING WRITER
Small wonder "Making a Good Script Great" is required reading for all aspiring screenwriters…
