What's the best way to earn money off the written word?

My muslim, short, Singapore-eon castaway ex-girlfriend once got me a gig editing and translating online manga(s). It mostly involved sprucing up the English translations of racing cum shonen manga and softening softcore pornography. I've since lost those contacts but that job definitely exists. I've also heard there's a buck to be made in the literotica side of the web, but I don't know the specific avenues. Any tips, anon?

Obligatory evocative picture to help accrue replies.

One time I wrote for a video game review site. I wrote an article on Dark Souls, and one on The Sims, and they paid me about sixty dollars. Then they hard pivoted into being a tech review app. Last newsletter I got from them is dated 2015.

It’s always in these types that I can truly understand why Nietzsche declared “God [to be] dead.” This little slut is full of vigor, but it is all directed toward pacing deeper into Hell. I know this type, on a personal level; miserable as fuck and seeks gratification through other miserable fucks, but still does a lot of fucking. This expanse of her life, which ends somewhere between 30, 35, maybe 38, doesn’t end with a bang, but rather with the absence of bangs. The “hard” lifestyle takes its toll. Her beauty fades. She is unwanted. She is unfuckable [to the men she wants to fuck.] Then she fucks you, as she’s your HR director at this point. With all her vigor and newfound fury, she sends us all to the Hell she has chased.

The slag who wrote twilight is probably a billionaire. Jk Rowling stole most of Harry Potter from obscure unheard of works. Almost every woman on the planet that can read has read 50shades of grey.

Stop trying to be the next Cormac McCarthy. Write some trash tier pseudo smut for bored housewives to use as vibrator material. Something about a handsome mysterious super rich buff white guy taking an interest in a ordinary girl and raping her except it’s not really rape because she secretly wants him.

The connection is to not be a high brow author , if the goal is to make money. Either write drivel for teens, steal ideas, or just write straight up smut.

All 3 female authors have a net worth of minimum 100 million dollars, jk is at least 500 mily.

One would figure if you have a lack of moral obligations you could humor one of a more degenerate nature with your literacy in the form of an erotic prose. Commision erotic fanfics, write furry smut. It would all be pretty fetishistic in content but if your main goal is to make money and you care little of this worlds grievances you could make a lot of money off a few people with niche fetishes whom want to have their characters given a breath of life. Of course I'd highly recommend you use a pseudonymous pen name. Maybe put out a few short stories out for free on places like archive of our own to get a name for yourself. make a social media presence. if you're lucky and gain some attention you may be able to start accepting commissions
