We continue our series of materials about niches. In search of the legendary elders – the guardians of niches, we travel around the world and discover Masters in the most unexpected places. In fact, we began to track some patterns. The Guardian takes the form of a beautiful girl and leads us to a place associated with a niche. We talked about the favorite places of porn streamers, why homeless people love newspapers so much, and quite a bit about literature.
The keeper sat us in a comfortable chair surrounded by tall shelves with countless books. “Do you think that I called you to the library because there are a lot of books here? No, it’s just quiet here and you can talk calmly. A couple of years ago, porn streamers were undressing here in the corners, but now they’re gone too. An oasis of calm. You probably think that since the libraries are empty, no one reads books? This is where you are seriously mistaken. Never in the history of mankind have we read so much. The matter, of course, is the number of people on the globe and the availability of smartphones, but the fact is that reading is popular. more than ever”.
“But you didn’t come here to talk about art. You’re interested in sales, right? Yes, and I’m not an ancient Greek muse, but a custodian of the affiliate marketing niche. So, in the United States, the annual book market is estimated at more than 100 billion. We’re talking about good old printed publications, not electronic ones, we’ll come back to them later. Usually, when people talk about books, they think of something like “Gone with the Wind” or “War and Peace,” but fiction is a branch on the oak tree of printed materials. about textbooks, about books on self-development and hobbies, about popular literature, and finally, people buy all this with the goal of becoming better, and not just to have fun.”
“Until the 20th century, a book was almost the only form of intellectual entertainment, especially if you are an introvert and don’t like going to the theater. But what has modernity done to the book? What a variety of changing genres! Now, with the information support of TV series, fantasy and science fiction are trending, and in a couple of years, they will be replaced by historical novels. But there are also comics and manga. And these are also books, no matter what anyone says. Take any trend and throw coal into the furnace of the hype train.”
The Guardian’s monologue flowed so smoothly that it was even somehow awkward for us to interrupt, as if she was reading to us from a book. “And there is also such a forgotten printed product as a newspaper. People used to read them to find out the news, but now only the homeless and Jamie Oliver use them. But newspapers have not gone away, online subscriptions to periodicals can also be sold. Even better. And this smoothly brings us to e-books.”
“For now, there are much more people who like to smell the pages and stroke the binding, but in America, where all sales are backed by detailed statistics, the e-book market is estimated at 20 billion dollars. And this figure will only grow every year. The trees will be more intact, the price of the book will be lower, The possibilities for affiliate marketing are endless. The digital library doesn’t collect dust, porn streamers won’t come here if that can be considered an advantage, and holding an e-book in your hands, let’s say ummm… while lying in the bath, is much easier.”
