Oct 11, 2021 · If you price your book above $2.99, you’ll receive 70% of royalties. If you price it below $2.99, you only get 35%, so most authors choose to go above this threshold, and most readers are willing to pay this price, even for erotica shorts. Once your book is up on Amazon, it’s time to celebrate.
I found Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, that allows you to publish your eBook on the Amazon Kindle Store. That makes them available on kindle devices and kindle apps for iOS, android etc. Self publishing is free and you can earn up to 70 percent royalties on sales.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a crappy writer (or even if you’re a good writer). The number one key to self publishing success if persistence and consistency. Always Be Publishing! The more you publish the more touch points customers have to discover you. I often find that first time authors publish a lot in the first 2 – 3 weeks. However, they don’t...
Research is often an overlooked aspect of being a good writer. If the niche is too small you won’t be able to scale long term. Conversely, if the niche is way too saturated, your stories won’t be discovered by customers. Not all niches are created the same. In the beginning, I tried writing in 4 or 5 different erotica niches. Not all of them worked...
One of best habits for success is getting on a consistent publishing schedule. If you start to gain a following, you don’t want to screw that up by not publishing for 3 – 4 weeks. It is FAR better to publish once a week than publish 4 books in one week and taking a month off. Customers will likely forget about you and it’ll kill your sales momentum...
Part of being a great author is taking the time to analyze your sales. Once a week I like to look at my best sellers over the past month. I’ll look over the cover design, my description, and the actual book content. I try to see why this book was particularly popular and try to replicate the results. You’ll often see patterns emerge. It is very imp...
Bundles are a great way to generate additional sales. In fact, bundles are often my best selling books. Bundles are just a collection of your stories. Make sure they are in the same niche. Don’t start bundling your stories until you have a decent sized collection (I would say 25+ books). Also, do not over-bundle your books. You don’t want customers...
Some writers like to have dozens of pen names even if they’re writing books in the same genre. I’m firmly against that. I believe it is MUCHbetter to have a big library than multiple pen names. When you have a huge library you can bundle more books. It is also much easier to market your books through your backmatter when you have a huge collection....
Alright, I’ll admit I’m guilty of this. I often check my sales dozens of times an hour. I encourage you NOT to do this…especially in the beginning! On some days I got depressed because sales didn’t stack up to my expectations. Don’t worry, everyone has bad sales days. You’re not doing yourself any favors by checking for sales 3 times in 10 minutes....
Scrivener is by far the best tool you can have to write erotica. It is an incredible word processing software that blows Microsoft Word out of the water. It wonderfully formats your ebooks perfectly so there are no issues when you upload onto Amazon KDP. Scrivener was the very first investment I made in my publishing business and I have never looke...
If you’re going to design your own covers I would highly recommend PicMonkey. It is far easier to use than PhotoShop for beginning authors. Plus, it’s cheaper ($3.99 a month vs. $9.99). I design all of my covers using PicMonkey. The software is easy to use and highly intuitive. Plus, they have a ton of great resources on the website to help you des...
ALWAYS judge a book by its cover! There are literally millions of books on Amazon. If you don’t have a good cover your book will not sell well. Despite what people say, covers DO matter! Good covers won’t compensate for a poor story, but at least they will lure a customer in to look at your blurb/description. If you master the art of designing good...
