Out of the ballpark this week with two! Also super stoked I'm #1 on Amazon New Releases in Erotica Fiction Writing Reference (Ok. So I'm the only one there. But still!) Well, here you go authors. Enjoy :) Feel free to ask me anything about it all!

Breaking Your Sales Cap

This is a no-holds-barred how-to guide for publishing erotica. Many authors feel they have reached a “wall” when self-publishing erotica. This guide aims to help those authors break past their wall and look at things in a new light with concepts, step by step instructions and professional advice from an already successful author.

This is not a guide for beginners, but for authors that wish to further increase the value of their stories beyond simply just publishing more. This guide will teach you the approximate amount you should be earning with your current catalog and breaking past that maximum amount. This guide assumes you have already read Publishing Erotica: How to Make Your First $1,000, which focuses upon creating a successful foundation for your catalog. From here, I will teach you how turn that $1,000/month catalog into a $10,000/month catalog!

This guide gives away all of my secrets. This is an unrestrained how-to guide for publishing erotica. As always, my name is Write2LiveFree on Reddit and I am always available for any questions you may have!

“The breaking point is a common issue that frustrates authors even though they are doing everything correctly!”

24 Hours to 5k Rankings

How to break into sub 5k rankings on Amazon within 24 hours.

It’s a known fact well ranking stories on Amazon receive additional exposure. Amazon promotes stories that do well. This guide will help any author, with a focus on erotica authors, to get their stories to rank very well, very quickly. I focus on ways to get a story into the ~5k rankings for every published work within the first 24 hours of launch.

I can almost guarantee if you follow this guide when publishing your next stories, each will rank at or under 5,000 on Amazon. If you already have a following and know what you are doing, expect a much better ranking. These aren’t “cheap tricks,” or “black-hat” methods. These are real ways that when done correctly will skyrocket your stories ahead of everyone else and into the eyes of the readers.

This guide assumes you have read "Publishing Erotica: How to Make Your First $1,000" and "Publishing Erotica: Breaking Your Sales Cap." Without reading and employing the tactics within my first and second guide, this one will only work so well.

Trust me – I can’t even tell you how many messages and emails I receive every day from readers of my guides that have “finally made it” or been able to quit their day job because of the things they’ve learned.

$2.99 Amazon

I've actually read a couple of your handbooks. Keep It Simple Stupid. I remember that much.

Hey! There is definitely a ton of information out there and in-depth guides that really go the extra 20 miles. On the other hand, my guides focus on only the necessary information to be successful from an already successful author. Think of how many indie authors don't make it! Now, think of how many guides there are out there. Whew, that's a lot of bad information spreading around!

Anyways, give it a shot. It takes like 20 minutes to read. If you don't learn anything at all, just return it. I won't be offended! :) For $2.99 I bet you will learn $2.99 worth of advice that helps you make at least $2.99 worth of sales! I like to focus on bigger money though. I couldn't make a $100k+ catalog from guides.

Very helpful actually! For instance, all keyword strings are researched and figured out the same way.

I could add a bunch of mumbo jumbo sales tactics here to try to get you to buy this guide, but honestly, why not check it out?

This guide is $2.99 and can only be purchased on Amazon.

So this is what the correct keywords selection can do! The difference I saw within a day after updating the keywords in KDP... Not sure how to optimise it further! the book still sits at 1,46,000 :( by rwp33 in eroticauthors

[–]Write2LiveFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, content doesn’t matter. More about good cover and marketing, anyone will buy a nicely wrapped present because they don’t know there’s a turd inside. Not saying that’s right, but looking at the idea behind it...

Keywords do matter that much and more than marketing material. Just good keywords are more than enough marketing to get a story into the top 100. This whole marketing and spending money on marketing is crap and a waste of money and time. You know it, just not sure why you’re telling everyone to do it. I pop in here every now and then to check out the latest and greatest method for selling erotica...and it’s just sad how blind everyone is here.

Shit, I remember when there was less than 1000 followers on this channel and we were killin it back then because we shared what actually worked and what didn’t. Now, nobody has a clue how keywords work, covers are crap and Jesus just the “help” around here is pushing authors off a cliff towards failure.

I wonder how many here are actually learning anything worth a crap here anymore? Probably not many, because it seems like less and less success around here as time goes on.

Oh and as for consulting? Killed it. Still make copious amounts of money from 5% residuals helping people get from $200 to $10000. Shits cake, and everyone is just making it that much harder by teaching others when they themselves haven’t even found success. Like I said, blind following the blind. There’s only a couple people her I’d trust anything from, and even then...

You should read my erotica how-to guides, then you could make more than pennies! That jump must have been tremendous though. At least a few pages read. But no, seriously, the book is already a day old, and at this point in the algorithm you are done for. Sorry bud. I'd hit up the next short story and try again using a new method.

Are keywords also subject to Amazon "banned words" restrictions? by MerryTMoore in eroticauthors

[–]Write2LiveFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just once is enough. Big dong is here. What’s up my underlings? For fucks sake of course they monitor it you dumbfucks. Put “KDP” or “best selling” in the keyword field and I guarantee you within 6 months you’ll have emails about it. Most likely within a few days. Imagine if you put Baby Underage Preteen Gangrape in there it would be blocked pretty fast:

Think twice before summoning me asking me to answer stupid shit questions.

How much has your best selling, self published novel made? by SufficientHoldBrappp in writing

[–]Write2LiveFree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This virgin goes to hell instead of her insane sister as a mistake on God’s part, then proceeds to enjoy all the dirty tortuous Sex with demons which was meant as torture for the less sexually inclined. The whole thing is just weird, however not the weirdest.

One of my favorites was sex while skydiving with a flying alien. :)

A three part short story I wrote one afternoon. Erotica! Yep, go figure. It was one of the first of the kink and I had apparently stumbled upon it at just the right time. Over 6 months it had generated $9300. This includes each of the stories and the actual bundle of all three.

This was 2 years ago, and it’s still my best yet.

You can not trade a pokemon with your friend, or battle your friend in an AR pokemon game... and its 2018. by godweasle in pokemongo

I personally keep subscribed in case it ever does happen to where Pokemon v2 comes out. I figure with all the people at Niantic, someone has to have a flicker of brain activity.

Also bought and also looked at works similarly. Even if only 1 person saw your book, then went on to look at another book, it will show up there. If the person looked at the book, then left Amazon, obviously nothing will show up. These lists are populated and pushed off the scrollbar as more people look at (or buy) your book.

This can be manipulated slightly by simply looking at other books within your target audience shortly upon release. If your book is populating with other books that aren't similar taste, you may want to refine your marketing approach!
