<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nThere is a difference between a book that sells and a good book. This is a quote that solves my problem.<\/p>\nby kepler16b kim<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nHere is my reply to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'm glad you found it helpful. I also wrote books that sold and books that didn't sell, so I knew the difference a little bit. :)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's not a good book just because it sells. Conversely, good books do not sell well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of Van Gogh's works was sold while he was alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHenry David Thoreau made a self-deprecating joke about keeping most of his self-published books at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I've also published a few books, but the ones I put the most effort into don't sell well. However, the practical book written in 15 days is still selling well. I don't think the book is ever a good book. It's a very easy-to-use practical book, but it fits the needs of the market well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, I am now running a company that makes books, videos and records. So, when my clients have these concerns, I always ask them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you want to be a good book?<\/p>\n\n\n\nWant to be a great book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or do you want to be a best-selling book? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Because having both is as hard as winning the lottery)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think life is like that too. Do you want to live a life that sells well, or do you want to live a great life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can't say "both".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThis is a commented video \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n
