RE: How to Write Your First Ebook in 7 Days or Less! Chapter 4
I highly suggest selecting a low competition idea
Does this competition algorithm work properly for fiction?

High traffic with low competition is right. Because of a thing called market position.
If you're not in a top three for a subject in the mind of your prospect, you'll have a hard time. Why?
Because there is not a dearth of information, but a surplus of it.
There are often thousands of competitors and nobody has time sufficient to search the product space. So they go with what they know, unless it offended them in the recent past, or what's most popular, or what's first. ``From those who have not much, all will be taken, to those who have, more will be given . . . '' Feedback loop.
That means you have a problem even if you have a good product. Even if you've the best product. Nobody searches much of any space, they can't afford it. So the probability of covering your costs for a product, or doing better, with purely stochastic purchasing is very low, very low indeed. Most people will not see your solution to their problem, they just won't see it. You have the best potatoes, let's say, but nobody is aware you're selling potatoes, let alone they are the best.
Here on Steemit, you might want a tag in which your post will probably be at the top for at least several days, for example.
(Ah, another long comment. Will later make this a post.)
Lol, I love doing this. I just grabbed whatever I do and make a post out of it.
You talk of needs and solutions, but what solution does fiction provide but entertainment? It could be that I'd need to search for certain needs in entertainment. I, for example, have a need for certain kind of philosophical sci-fi, so I'm always in the lookout for it, and I'm usually pleased although I'm only half-comfortable in certain areas. Perhaps this is my call. :3
I generally write philosophical science fiction ;)
It's very popular, lol. There's tons of it, but the fact that you're one of the writers it is amazing. I'll have to read your stuff.
