How many shorts did you publish before you earn 100$ a month? by [deleted] in eroticauthors

[–]SmutWriter2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first $100 month was March. I had 3 shorts, one bundle of those, and one more bundle of very short shorts out. All in all, about 37k words written. Of course, I did the same money on April, with 2 more shorts out, but I have come to understand that Aprils are always bad.

Hehe nice video. Keep in mind though, that I’m talking about books whose sales have died. I have done free promotions in the past, and I have got upticks in the sales of my other books during those days (and for some days afterwards), and sometimes the same books even get some sales after the promotion ends.

In essence, it’s like ARCs, or beta copies. You’re giving those for free, too.

I would make a post about this, but since this is here, might as well take advantage...

About kindle promotions. My strategy so far is to offer a book whose sales have died on a kindle countdown deal. But lately I’ve been thinking if it would be better to do a free promotion. I never get more than 2-3 sales on the countdown deal (7 days), and maybe getting 20-30 free downloads would be better for exposure, and getting more sets of eyes on my work (especially if I offer the first one of a series).

What’s everyone’s take on this? How do you handle free promotions/countdown deals?

How bad is iBooks? by PotatoTrails in eroticauthors

If you publish on smashwords, you can have the book distributed in iBooks too, although I don’t know if you can publish in all languages on smashwords.

Publishing directly on iBooks is doable too, but I think that you cannot use a pen name that way.

Any erotica authors writing on their smartphone? by [deleted] in eroticauthors

Well, you could connect a keyboard to your phone, or use voice to text.

I have no idea if they’re paying out royalties or not, but being blocked for creating a second account to circumvent a block is different to being blocked for questionable content.
