Review: The only way to sell non-fiction books is to write more books?

I read another book by this author and I gave it a 5-star review - But this book is somewhat disappointing. Of course, Steve writes good books and he doesn't use filler content like many other authors in this niche, but the (only) major strategy he recommends in this book is to write more books, in the same niche.There is an obvious issue if an author writes one book every 3 weeks in the same niche (as suggested in this book) - The quality will suffer.It took 3 months for me to write my first book and it will take 4-5 months to write my next book (estimated time). Just write, not formatting, book-cover, publishing, etc. One of the reasons for it is the amount of research required to write each sub-topic within these books.Secondly, these two books will be in different niches because in my first book I covered almost everything that I want to convey about that topic - IMO, a book is complete only when an author can say that confidently.This book is a good choice if you intend to write many books within the same niche. But for people like me who (plan to) write two quality books in a year, there is nothing much. At least nothing much that we already don't know.
