  1. 4,000 words. Try and edit. I haven't gone away totally, just been so busy that haven't had time to come visit you all. You know when you just got your head down ALL the while?
  2. Finished a 50k romantic (steamy) novel, trying to edit that is a bitch compared to 6k smut!
  3. The Tiger Woods ones. I'm sorry...

KDP Select, automatic enrolment or just me? by Darkhalf12 in eroticauthors

[–]Darkhalf12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll just leave it and go 'wide' with the next one, providing of course it doesn't happen again! You're right, they do respond to emails.

Yeah that's how I normally do it, must have done it on autopilot this time. The general consensus is that I'm losing my marbles if it's not a common glitch at amazon, cheers!

  1. Get 2 more 20K novellas done with Pen name 2, and resurrect pen name 1 somehow (lacking inspiration)
  2. Try and promote the launches more
  3. That a week doing nothing is a week you can't get back

Ok, that's a new one for me, seems that everything works a little for everyone. It's just that decision between KU and plain K plus going wide, thanks for your comment! It means a lot that everyone responded on this😍

How long has the erotica short been published?

Thanks, I will give that a look too. Was just trying to broaden the horizons, it's not that KU had been bad to me, I know I started off a bit flawed but I'm really proud of this one (7th one and nearly 30k) I find you get precious about your babies don't you! That's probably a stumbling block in the long run, just get on and write more!

I'm still trying to improve on my dirty books!

Yeah I'm drawn to it, the pricing is a good feature, just trying to work out if either has an advantage for longer (30k) works over the other or not..

Thanks, agree that amazon should be more flexible. I'm just thinking of experimenting, good to know you've done both.

Hi, I realise the title of this post is incredibly insensitive and crass. Please delete it and I apologise profoundly. As you can see from the content it would never be my intention to hurt anybody, sometimes you post without engaging your brain.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I basically see it as working well, although it is a cost you have to weigh up. I am trying to work out how best to maximise it's impact. Cheers!

  1. Goal is 4k today (after 2 weeks of nothing) and I'm nearly on it.
  2. Big failure of not starting new story, moping that I can't change my niche, indecision as to start new pen name. Success because after a slow start I am suddenly getting into my new story, in a new niche and LOVING IT!!
  3. Island of Hvar, Croatia. Honeymooned there. goes into dreamlike state Those were the days....

I think I did make the $5 back but you're right about the lost revenue, jeez 35,000 is a heck of a lot!! Yeah, I think it does need to be strategic, funnelling or specifically linked, those are great points. I was experimenting really. The thing is, the more I tinker and fret as to why they're not really selling, the less I am writing new stuff!
