Bundles are key to erotica. I can sell short form 5k~15k words erotica for $2.99 and they sell, when I bundle 3 or 4 books together and sell them for say, $5.99, I will sell MORE of my individual books AS WELL as selling the bundle. Typically I see a surge of about 25% of book sales on top of...

This is what I've found. First the rule about book size people are talking about here is B.S. short smut sells better than long smut. Most of them are 5k-15k words tops, and they all sell for $2.99. They sell well too. I started with a diet book and it sold "ok", when I switched to smut I...

This is all relative though, Lets keep in mind Amazon controls half of a 14 BILLION dollar per year industry. Amazon refuses to release numbers, but rough math tells us that that means they are selling roughly 7 Billion dollars worth of e-books every year. It's hard to lose the fact that when...

This isn't really the right path for someone looking for a quick buck, and it's also not Black Hat, so this is almost the wrong forum for this type of work. It is tough, and it takes time. Research is key. I put out 4 books in the fiction category long ago, and I did minimal research. I think...

50 shades of grey got in, I doubt you could write a worse book. There's literally grammar errors and hard to read sentences everywhere. In case you don't get it, NO, amazon does not check the "quality" of your writing. But don't expect shit to sell anything less than a shit amount.

I just felt my writing style was bad, not very good flow, repetitive word usage. Every book got better and better so I feel better about where my writing is now, BUT some of my old books I think suck are selling better than my newer better stuff. The main point is, if you write your own stuff...

I paid a ghost writer to do my first book about 4 months ago. I paid $40 for 10k words, then I added about 15 recipes myself (copy/paste ingredients, then rewrite the instructions in my own words, it took maybe 3 hours). That book alone has made about $150 in 3 months. Since then I switched to...

It used to get me too, but don't think of it as a book, think of it as your "Bait". I also put it on free promo all the time so I consider it a loss-leader or bait book. Many business rely on this type of device, you may even see it in your local town, places will sell something or operate at a...

You missed the point somewhere. My "books" are shorts and range from 5k to 15k words. They are all $2.99. Most get 1-2 sales a day, while 2 of them get like 4-10 sales a day. Also, Bundles are HUGE if you push multiple books. I usually try for something like this. 3 stories in the same "niche"...

I made my first $1000 and my second $1000 in the same sale. I played Aion when it launched, had a max level character with pvp gear and a pvp ranking of #6 on the server. I sold her for $1900.00 and her gold for $500. *edit* I also decided after that sale that MMO's were a HUGE waste of time...

Before you ditch your book,, why don't you unpublish it, work up a new cover and look at the blurbs for other books in your catagory. Then write a new blurb and republish. It should take maybe 1 hour and is far better than just letting it rot.

You need to review your Title, Description, and Blurb. You've been filtered by the amazon adult algorithm it will take some tweaking to get you back listed, I've had some issues similiar so lets talk about what it OK and what is not Beastiality is a non Mythical Creatures are ok "Taming the...

Before I found this forum, and before I started reading anything I was able to get to $75/month with minimal effort. I made a canned android app with an image gallery, I used a template, I have no coding knowledge. I used a browser extension to mass download 250+ images from a single source of...

Raven~ 800 is not that great, but if you've done 0 promotion it is not bad. If you promote before you release you should be able to break 100. changing category does not affect your ranking I have noticed very little change between sales at .99 and 2.99 but you will have to try for yourself...

Most of this has been answered already, in this thread or others on this forum. 1. How long is a piece of string? If you want an amazing book that will sell well for months and months, a lot longer. If you want to rush out a piece of junk and ride a trend for a few weeks, alot less. To put it...
