About this book

Readers who want to better understand the business side of erotica publishing won't be disappointed. -Jeanne (Amazon customer) I went into reading this thinking I knew all I needed to know about self publishing erotica, and actually realized I had more to learn. Definitely a worthwhile investment. -Jesse (Amazon customer) It's no secret that the erotica industry has boomed in the last few years due to the runaway success of 50 Shades of Grey. There are more readers than ever, but how can you stand out in the crowd of thousands of other authors? That's exactly what this guide will teach you to accomplish. Some of the topics include: *Building a mailing list *The proper use of free books *Keywords *Pricing *Using a website *Avoiding the adult filter *How to promote your story *How to list your story for sale on Amazon, Google Play, Kobo, Smashwords, and All Romance Ebooks *And more! With real examples of exactly what I've done, it's the only book you'll need to take yourself from an undiscovered erotic author to a self employed erotic author. Following this method, I got there writing less than 500 words per day. The best part is that everything I did is completely replicable. Another author is following my method with the exact same success. She literally writes just a scratch over 300 words per day and is on her way to full-time status. This book even includes a keyword secret that more than doubled my sales overnight. Don't spend six months learning the ropes like I did. Let me teach them to you, today.
