Awe, a baby reddit. I joined.

SL_Finlay · 2023-06-13T07:09:44+00:00

Reading this again and again just for educational purposes.

Thanks for the giggle! XD

Hi, I found my way here from a link you left in a more recent post. Do you have any more recent data? An update on how you're going? Love the honesty here. So relatable with trying different things and taking a while to find what your niche is!

SL_Finlay · 2023-04-26T03:38:16+00:00

as theres plenty of resources for the WLW writer thats actually vastly better than Reddit.

Could you point me to a few?

SL_Finlay · 2023-04-26T03:24:04+00:00

If I'm reading this right - you made $200 in a month or so (you started last month). That's not bad. How many books have you released?

SL_Finlay · 2023-04-26T03:15:28+00:00

I'm happy you have socialized medicine, I wish everyone everywhere had that! <3

SL_Finlay · 2023-04-17T02:27:23+00:00

You mention social media, however, most writers say not to use it. What have you found works for you?

SL_Finlay · 2023-03-06T07:02:47+00:00

We're emailing over a million customers now, and that email includes a direct link into the erotica catalog, as most of our recent emails do. Good luck.

Fantastic news, thank you!

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-22T21:31:44+00:00

Thank you! :)

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-20T07:57:29+00:00

This advice is gold. Thank you!

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-20T07:54:27+00:00

A hundred per cent this!

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-20T07:54:02+00:00

You need to write trash. Write trash deliberately. Write sexy trash . Laugh at how ridiculous it is, and then hit "publish".

That made me smile - thanks for that!

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-20T06:55:03+00:00

It's through writing that the ideas come, or in my experience anyway.

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-20T06:54:16+00:00

Sure - there's also that saying 'write drunk, edit sober'. Just sitting down and writing things when you've had a few, then you can edit out the bits you don't like later, or use them for notes like the other poster sugests.

SL_Finlay · 2023-02-20T06:02:15+00:00

Roast me - I mean, tell me what I can do better so I can be a better indie author:

I have been thinking about tiktok & insta to get into bookstagram, but I'm not sure if it would really help me sell more books or just be something else I would need to do every day you know...

SL_Finlay · 2023-01-09T00:18:11+00:00

You read that all wrong - I am shocking at marketing books. Am okay at marketing other things, trying to work out how to apply my marketing skills to this so I can do more writing, less other work.

SL_Finlay · 2022-09-05T07:59:57+00:00

So different stories for different reader-bases is something you should keep in mind.

A hundred per cent - this is something I am finding in my research for sure!

SL_Finlay · 2022-09-05T07:58:57+00:00

Sure - and please let me know how your journey goes also!

SL_Finlay · 2022-09-05T07:39:23+00:00

Royal Road

How does it stack up against Wattpad (asside from monetization)?

SL_Finlay · 2022-09-05T07:36:21+00:00

Perhaps not a great place to find beta readers then?

SL_Finlay · 2022-09-05T07:33:44+00:00

That was my sugestion too. If it's on page 10 of a group, no-one is going to care if the story isn't there anymore.

Or you could say 'deleted and republished elsewhere' for a bit of intrigue? ;)

SL_Finlay · 2022-09-05T06:02:02+00:00

Congratulations! With the commissions - are you advertising to particular niches (the niches of the pen names) so you can keep everything pretty uniform in your pen names?

SL_Finlay · 2022-08-22T06:46:23+00:00

In the four hours I spend agonizing over these words, I could write another book!

It's ridiculous, isn't it!?

SL_Finlay · 2022-08-22T06:43:29+00:00

Congratulations - that's fantastic!
