I just published my first erotica on amazon/ kindle (technically it has been on the site for 4 months but in an unpublished state)

Where to promote it effectively? Its definitely written in a way that panders to a very fetish oriented audience, which is what Im intending for the entire ""series"" if you want to call it that. Made the cover myself as well although Im not 100% happy with it
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNLHWKH

link and pic very related. Any tips from people on this profession? Should the blurb be more explicit and descriptive rather than trying to reflect the piece more tonally?

And yes, thats a pen name

Look at this amateur who cant write literally anything for money

Im not even bi, let alone gay. The first thing I did before I ever even tried writing an erotica was market research. The majority of the audience is women and the ones that arent are men looking for things that they cant find in normal porn

It is when youre an adult, getting money by doing something easy lets me invest time and effort into things that actually matter. Erotica and romance shit is probably the easiest for that since the audience for them is generally so retarded that even if you were awful, it would be easy to still sell by pandering to what the market wants. It takes zero effort to write up erotica because its fucking porn

Its called using your talents for making money. Erotica can potentially make you hundreds of thousands for no effort if you get lucky. I dont feel any shame in writing porn with a pen name, if anything one of my goals is to become an actual pornstar

Well id say its pretty childish to assume id make "money" in the sense youre implying by releasing one and only erotica piece but id also say youre probably unironically some retarded, loose, sweaty bag of drooping skin falling apart if your motivation towards trying anything at all is on the level of "i-implying its g-go-going to ha-happen..."

I see it's 15 pages, do people pay actually 2 bucks to read a short porn story? What are your sales numbers?
How do you attract a readership? How much money do successful self published porn authors make? How much do average authors make?

if your definition of "successful" is the absolute peak, millions

>What did you learn from market research about self published fetish erotica specifically?
more like market research into erotica in general and the conclusion was that women are the biggest audience. Logical next step is men looking for the kind of stuff they cant find in video form

OMG! I write porn when I sex chat women on a dirty talk app...The women really like it...and really it is not sick...just romantic stories that end with the girl in bed...women really like them...so I would advise you to just write a Romantic Novel type short story that has the guy making love to his woman...you know kissing her, gently stroking her breasts with his fingertips, his warm lips finding her nipple and beginning to gently suck...while his hand gently cradles her womanhood as her blood engorged labia is stroked by his warm fingertips and his lips kiss her Vulva...honoring the Goddess within her...etc...

as opposed to what? the market is constantly fluctuating, you cant find some epic i win button in it
>Jump to conclusion that men will suddenly read - not because they don't enjoy it as much as other porn - but because you'll cater to their niche interests
because its a fact, men who are depraved enough to be interested in X and X thing (especially illegal) will often search out erotica of it when nothing else is available
>Ignore the mountain-loads of bizarre porn that already exists in the mediums that men prefer
according to who? Ive read erotica on and off since I was 14, it entirely depends on what they are looking for
>Write shitty books anyway
Yeah it takes a ton of effort to sit down for an hour and shit out erotica

>You're actually a fucking retard if you think this is going to make you anymore than a few dollars a year.
seeing as how ive made probably around 1000e casually by the equivalent of online roleplaying a couple times a year, ive been paid for much less substantial things and in far higher prices than the candy bar the erotica I put out costs. Youre actually a fucking retard if you think im expecting to make a ton of money with this one singular piece of erotica. All it takes is to "break in" with something and at that point people will see all your other books

I'd say there's a difference between appreciating your woman's arse smell, briefly through letters, and abstaining from real people altogether and wanking to fapfics off amazon.

Not even that, but diaper fetishsm includes this bizzare age regression dynamic, where your lover is seen as mentally beneath you, or you mentally beneath your lover. I'd argue it's on another level anyway.

fucking what? who does this? its porn like any other, if you have such an addiction to erotica youre an outlier

Hate to say it but it is pretty good porn. Just read the one page but you did it right. I write erotica for women I sext. You got all the sensations there, the anticipation, the feelings of warmth and sensuality. As far as writing goes it isn't the best and I am sure that you know this but literary criticism is not what people read porn for....
