Which book do I write?

I have two ideas for a book. The first is a broad subject with a larger market but my credentials to write it will make it more difficult to secure a contract from a publisher. The other is a much more narrow subject where my credentials are impeccable but the market is much smaller. Which book do I write?

I think you should write the book you are credentialed for to secure your legitimacy as an author - then write the 2nd book and hopefully you will benefit from that legitimacy and gain some experience from the 1st book as well - to help make the 2nd more of a financial success....good luck.

@fun4us2b thank you that certainly makes sense.
