    What genre are you writing in? 10k words for $3.99 (follow the market and only price up if the market calls for it or you have engaged reader base) is steep for unproven author, it's a tough sell in almost all genres. Don't wait 2 weeks to see results (the first book is just one step). Your test...

    How's the new pen name going? I'm doing a whole restructuring of my pen names and settling on 5 new ideas for each pen name that I will complete and release together. How's your public author name doing? Take care!

    A sample of my relationship e-book, tell me what you think?

    PUBLISHING 
    People are right this is a niche audience, but those mentioning American Females are not the real target anyway. The target are frustrated guys who may be MRA, guys who are looking to be more traditionalists. Those who may be antifemnists. One thing MRAs bring up a lot is the feminists movement...

    A sample of my relationship e-book, tell me what you think?

    PUBLISHING 
    Your title should be the subtitle. I feel like it fits better there. You need a stronger title. 30 thousand years of dating can't be wrong: how men tired of games can attract the right woman to be his wife?" My title is too long, but as you can see your title fits better as the question you...

    A sample of my relationship e-book, tell me what you think?

    It's too dry. . .wording and flow of it. Your advice positions one type of woman on a pedestal and the other as negative and horrible when frankly, the issue is lifestyle differences. Now could your POV sell. . .sure. I think a lot of people would agree and you've had success despite your...

    I'm going to write that book, baby.

    PUBLISHING 
    I love bundles: you take 10 minutes to set them up, I write a simple description (add the titles of each book), raise the price, and put it up and it counts as a new release. I can't do the 3d graphic, I use one of the titles cover and make sure the title mentions it is a boxset or bundle...

    {PROGRESS + ACCOUNTABILITY} LAURYN'S RECONSTRUCTION: GETTING TO 50 SHADES OF PAID

    PUBLISHING 
    You're smart. The great thing about being an Indie Author, you choose what to do and pivot to adjust to new changes. Do you also write junk food ebooks (books made to entertain) like certain popular fictional genres? I think you should do 2-3 series (3plus books each series/10-30k words each...

    Made barely anything from erotica, any advice?

    PUBLISHING 
    Sorry, for mis-understanding your point. You're right. People like to be teased with the almost-erotica.

    PUBLISHING 
    True, not fastlane, but self-publishing tends to be the slow game. This should be a supplemental income flow and not your main job. A job that only needs a laptop -- I might add. People do write for fun and money. Short stories should take a day or two to finish and edit and upload. Every...

    PUBLISHING 
    You're right. I agree you have to try to push and promote the products. It's not a enough to write a story and expect Amazon to highlight any particular newbie author or pen name. But some promotional TOOLS won't be worthwhile to an erotica author like the OP.

    Have you done bundles by series or a related theme like "cheating Wives" or Selfy's Erotica bundle for your first 15 stories and put links to the other 3 books in the back matter. Are you in Google Play, BN, Apple, Kobo, Allromanceebooks, smashwords? Not many people have the drive to pump out...

    Made barely anything from erotica, any advice?

    PUBLISHING 
    Erotica is not dead, but it isn't some easy piece of a$$ to pimp out like most people think it is. People still want to be entertained. You do know Twilight is Paranormal Romance? Consumers are great to give you a critical eye on presentation (blurb, book contents, and cover), but sales and...

    PUBLISHING 
    You can disagree and you share some great above, but with short stories in erotica, the goal is to write many and sell a few of each title a month. She doesn't need one to be a big seller. Every new release should increase your momentum and visibility. Short stories have a ceiling because of...
