devastating.. put a lot of effort and money into my last book just to find out that i didnt factor in one MAJOR thing on the niche research before.. i just published a book that cost me around 400 dollars in a topic that is so heavily dominated by external traffic over tiktok that its practically impossible to rank by ads.. 2 weeks of ad campaigns without any results speak the same language.. thats a major defeat id say but well, THATS a lesson i learned the hard way
good sales + low reviews + zero A+ content on a niche competitor is NOT a signal to win that thing, its a stay away signal and hinting at other factors like tiktok marketing
