Goddammit I sell my own original heterosexual vanilla non-BDSM smut on Amazon and I barely earn enough to buy a beer. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Is it Male on Female with a Male POV? That's harder to sell, I find. Just about anything else works if you find the right niche. I've even had good success with Shemale on Male (male POV), and my readers are still mostly women.

If you're having trouble selling Female POV hetero bdsm, you must be doing something wrong with your cover/title/blurb.

An anon wrote up a whole system of packaging series together in order to guarantee profits. Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

oh non-BDSM, my bad. Point still stands. Try making your male character a billionaire chad.

It's male POV, yeah. I write what turns me on, which happens to not be marketable.
Guess I need to shift gears after my current project.

...actually, now that I think of it, the last two I wrote had female POV's in them. They just weren't marketed as such.

I don't need that much money to live and pursue my interests and I would definitely rather do this than my actual job. Got any link?

I'm interested. Post a snippet please!

Look up amazon and /lit/, I'm sure it will pop up as it was a pretty big thread. Be careful not to rob your passions for maybe a hundred dollars.
