Do you despair of your book ever reaching the top of one of the broadest Amazon sales categories? Lindsay Buroker writes that the secret is to aim for a niche category. It might take a sales ranking of 1,000 to reach the top 20 of a popular category, but only 3,000 for a narrower, more specialized one, and Buroker explains how to get there: "Getting a sub-10,000 sales ranking is still pretty challenging, especially for a debut author, but it's a little more doable."
