If you've read anything about making money online, then you've probably heard of self-publishing erotica on Kindle.
I've been a full-time reseller on eBay and Amazon for the last year. I resell used clothing and books and it's really fun, But having to deal with physical inventory can be a pain in the ass- my bedroom is filled with bins of 900 pieces of (clean) used clothing. These are my amazon sales: I want to make money off of digital products so Kindle is where I'm focusing my attention. I just published my first well researched book tonight. I'll post the sales in the next few days. -Ben

I used to know a lady making over 20k/mo selling erotica novels on Amazon. This was a few years back and I haven't kept in contact with her, so Idk what's going on now.
I wonder if the market is saturated, or if it even can get saturated. What are you doing to set yourself apart from others? I feel like you'll need to have a competitive advantage (not price) if you're going to try this. Best of luck, throw any questions up on here and maybe someone'll have an answer. I have a large network of Amazon people so I'm sure I could ask one of them if you get stuck. 24 Years Old

Interested to see how this will play out.
OP, why did you pick the Erotica niche? How do you plan on people finding your book on Amazon? I only have experience with non-fiction books and publishing books in a niche where the competition is not too big for the main keywords. But that is probably not possible in the Erotica niche since there are hundreds, if not thousands of books with similar titles.

And, how many READERS are male? You need to know all of this before jumping in so you can tailor it to the correct audience.

So I published one short erotica and am publishing the second tomorrow. Both are around 3500-4000 words.
I paid someone $7 on Fiverr ($5+$2 fee) to make me a cover and it's definitely worth it. I'm learning photoshop, but my covers still look like a kid in 4th grade made them (for now). People will pay $2.99 for a short erotica. I've made a few sales from my first book (almost enough to break even on the cover so far!). In my first post I didn't mention that I've been publishing on and off with Kindle for the past two years with very little success, but I'm still making some sales from my other work. But with this challenge I'll only take into account my erotica sales. I'm going to try and publish 2 short erotica stories a week. Writing 1000 words a day is enough to knock out two stories each week, so it's a doable goal. I've been doing a lot of niche/ market research and will post again at the end of the week. |

I've published 3 stories so far and am publishing the 4th tomorrow. The sales are slowly coming in:
There are so many different niches to write in erotica. To do research just go to the Kindle ebook store and type in '(insert word here) erotica'. Anything with a few hundred ebooks (or less) is a niche where your book has more of a chance to be successful.

I've published 5 books so far. Last week I had sales almost everyday, but this week it's compteley stalled:
I've made about $45 so far: All the stories I've published are priced at $2.99. Based on Kindle's royalty program you get to keep 70% of this sale on books priced at $2.99 or higher. So I get to keep a little over $2 per sale which is a good commission. I'm planning on releasing another story tomorrow, and then 3 next week. The next 30 days will be important to see which books and niches make me the most money. |

I imagine this to work best if you build a long term following. Like a subscription based, or pay per chapter concept. Give the 1st section away free on your website. Make it juicy with a cliffhanger, then $2.99 for them to continue the story and see where it goes. If you take it really far, you ask for reader input on where they imagine it going. Start a forum where they can discuss the story.
*edit: check out the show Lost Girl. It's pretty forward for a public tv show. And a female who has to be sexual to survive...Chicks will eat up that supernatural love shit.

This is sick. Keep at it.
How much time are you spending on average to write a story? 4000 words seems semi quick, good that you can crank out a few per week! 24 Years Old

I've published 8 books so far, my most recent one today. Each one takes me about 3 days to write, edit, and make the cover for on Photoshop.
I've passed the $100 profit mark: Writing 2 stories a week is grind, so it's good to do a lot of market research before writing so your efforts are profitable. These erotica stories are turning out to be a great side-hustle, but my main source of income is selling on eBay and Amazon which I write about here: everlastingseller.com I'll report again on the earnings soon.

I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!

Thanks again Chris, life would suck without you.
