Thanks very much..

@Oga MK82. You publish through smashwords, please how do you withdraw? They only pay via PayPal which has banned Nigerians.

Hello people...is there anyone here that writes Erotica for Amazon Kindle market? I was into it like 2-3 years ago, and although I didn't make so much, it had a promising market. I want to know how the market is right now.

Please if you are making your Amazon money from writing erotica, let me know. Thanks.

I stopped writing it last year. Its very profitable if you target the right niches. Whites have crazy fetishes and they hardly care about random sex. Take for example, you will make more money publishing a story about a woman sitting on the face of a man or about a man licking the foot of a woman than you will make when publish a normal sex story. Just think of crazy sexual fantasies and write about them. Vanilla sex is a no no!

Contact me for your withdrawals.

I no longer use them. Then they used to allow payment through Payoneer if you cross a particular threshold (can't remember the amount now).

Are you still into publishing as a whole? Or you have moved to something else?

thanks bro

You are welcome. Let me also make you understand that kdp is a game of number if you don't have money to promote your books like me, just ensure to be ready to write your ass off. Not LCB or NCB o. Those are for lazy guys looking for a fast way out. Over the course of 4 years, i was able to get 110 well written non-fiction books and it resulted in btw $3000 to $3500 monthly organic sales.

Quick tip: Don't look at you dash board, write the first book, publish, go to the next one, publish. Just keep doing it. Its a lonely life, but you will come out strong on the other side.

That's nice. But LCB/NCB is not for lazy people looking for a fast way out. It also has its rules and research process. If you go out there just dumping hundreds of notebooks you'd make nothing.

Someone like shashwat is making 10k or more from only LCB/NCB.
I too am grateful I got to know about it. So no, it's not for lazy people.

I see people churn out 1000 NCB and LCB (journals, notebooks, youtube planners, etc) in a week with nothing to show If it was so cool why is ingramSpark banning them on their site. Amazon may follow suit. Some people have over 10,000 NCB and could barely make $1000 a month.

Well, I have little reservation for LCB if you are doing some illustrations and adult coloring books, even at that, it is saturated. If i have 1000 well-written books i will conveniently cross $20,000 a month. Forget those guys on Youtube, they are after lazy people who don't want to write but want to cash out on kdp. They know those lazy folks give them more views and they cashout from Youtube.

I so much appreciate this. Keep coming around, sir. I don't even care if you'd keep saying the same thing. Just need more of your positivity around. Reading this, I felt a burst of adrenaline. Thank you so much.

Even here too, you see people who have written books but have made barely nothing from them because they didn't do their due diligence. Nothing is guaranteed.

It's the same thing with NCB/LCB. If you do your niche research well and publish a journal that took you less than 30 mins to make, you can make as much as anyone writing full content books but if you just churn them out, you may make nothing.

Journals still sell and that's why Amazon won't ban them. It all depends on preference though. For me, I'd rather spend less time and publish LCB/NCB rather than spending a week to write a book that might not take off.

Okay, thanks.

Please, I'm still hoping you will conduct another self-publishing tutorial as you did some months ago. I just started self-publishing about 2 months ago and hence I missed out on the opportunity.

Thanks

Virgo01:

Yeah.

Can you drop your contact on a dead thread. Lost most of my contact didn't back up my phone

I missed out on last yrs own cos of the remote place I was then. It's saddened me greatly cos I had looked forward to it.

We will patiently wait. Yes!

120 pages work on A4 is huge. Yeah, publishing as a doc file, amazon will scale the pages down, but the good thing about uploading in docx file is that all buyers can access all your books irrespective of what device they use. Alternatively, some writers use either 5.5" x 8.5" or 6" x 9" which is smaller than A4 and then covert it to PDF and later .kpf(print replica) using amazon's textbook creator to get more pages. The drawback, however, of using print replica is that buyers with Kindle paperwhite and Kindle Oasis won't be able to purchase your books. When i was using print replica, i got some negative reviews because of that. So i still encourage you upload a well formated docx file even if your book page count is squeezed. You can always depend on paperback sales to make up for the difference.

Sorry for the typos.

You've not made above $20?

Pls try and do keywords research before writing. Don't just write. First hunt for profitable keywords.

If you write blindly, your books won't sell. Doing keywords research before writing helps you find profitable keywords that can bring in $15 to $20 daily at least for starters. Mutliply that by 30 days, that's something.
