Again, this works best for nonfiction. In fact, the online world is always looking for lots of practical how-to content. How do you fight a speeding ticket? Improve your credit score? Get the best deal on a time-share in Florida? Today, a business-minded writer can prepare a book, publish it (either electronically or using a cost-efficient digital printer) and sell it directly to people who are interested in that particular subject.

In fact, there may never have been brighter times for an ardent, business-minded writer willing to make a living from non-fiction.
