The key to this is the promotion days where you offer the book for free. I helped a friend put her erotica book up on KDP... I designed a great cover for her, she wrote a killer synopsis and 4 days into the free promo, she has 2k downloads and 3 reviews totalling 3.5 stars out of 5. Now, when...

"Start out with whatever feels more natural to you. I started out with non-fiction because I was writing everything myself, 100%. So I stuck with topics that I knew and could write about. When I started branching out into fiction, to experiment with different genres, it was also when I...

Romance novels... Yeah, they can be that boring. But... there is no fun or excitement in that. To put women that read romance in that... pathetic, baby-craving, cat-loving stereotype... would turn off a lot of readers. (I read romance... but I like microbrewed beer, dogs, fast cars, and...

Yay! Now she's in the top 15 for erotica! :)

What are you doing to market the book/series before it comes out, and are you releasing them all at once or on a specific timeline? I have an author friend that I helped with the release of her new book (designed the cover, set her up on KDP)... after one day into the free promotion, she's in...

GobBluthJD - Thanks for taking the time to help with Noob questions.. I've always enjoyed writing... so when I first saw this, I was really hoping it would be something awesome... and it has been. So thanks a bunch for that! I recently picked up a copy of How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5...

MisterTwister - Perhaps is the marketing you've been doing? When you found someone on odesk for the promotions... what work did you specify? Did you look for a pr person or was it strictly just marketing/promo? Sounds like that could well be worth it... but would rather something a little...

GobBluthJD - Have any of your stories become popular? Other than be really excited, I wondered what everyone else would do if one of their stories suddenly became very popular? I mean, it could happen. :) I currently have three stories up, the first one is getting one purchase a day, the...

Yay! 252 downloads and 2 good reviews. :) Still seems like there should be more downloads during the free preview time? My story is just over 15k words... but am going to be putting up another part in the series in the next couple of days.

GobBluthJD - Thanks for the response! I have updated the blurb to be longer... we'll see how it goes. I've had two reviews now, one 5 and one 4 star. :) The next installment of the series is coming out this week, so fingers crossed!

Hmmm... I must be doing something wrong. Listed book to run as free for 5 days, has an awesome cover, great story, and I have one positive review... but in the three days I have had it up, it's only been downloaded 165 times. Perhaps its the teaser? It's just two sentences... should it be...

Hey OmegaX06 - What sort of stuff are you writing?

OmegaX06 - I'd be willing to bet that it was because of the pictures. My book was submitted and up on Amazon within 24 hours and it detailed the sex to completion... So, I'd lose the images and try again.

Why don't you have the ones that are up translated to English? I would imagine that English would be the larger market since there are many countries that speak it. Just a thought. :)

Posted my first erotica tonight... says it could take up to 24 hours to be approved. How's everyone else doing?

Congrats Cazzina! Please keep posting your results here, I'd like to see how you do. I am finishing up a few erotica stories to submit as well. Funny thing is, there are so many authors on erotica sites like literotica that apparently have no idea that they can sell their works instead of...
