Writers cook up success strategies like Paris Hilton generates headlines, yet one of the most enduring strategies extant is “find a niche that interests you, then dominate it.”

That’s exactly what writer Tom Gaylord did, and interested in his success formula, I called him out of the blue to talk.

Gaylord is paid to write extensively in the airgun market, and a quick survey of that niche reveals Gaylord’s name atop:

* The industry’s most-popular blog (paid for by the industry’s biggest specialty retailer)
* A series of paid (and successful) podcasts
* Countless paid product reviews and articles on multiple Web sites
* On the masthead of an online magazine as airgun editor

What’s astonishing to him isn’t that he’s writing about a topic he loves — it’s that he’s getting paid for every word.

That’s a prescription for lifelong success, and — dare I say it — long-term job satisfaction.
