How to sell erotic audio for women?

Pardon my bluntness, but it sounds like you're selling the equivalent of jack-off material for women, to be used while they masturbate. Am I close?

No judgments.

What do these women do, watch and read when they aren't practicing self-gratification?

For example, Trojan came out with a fingertip vibe for women awhile back. The ads appeared during soaps, game shows, dating shows, even shows about murder on networks like Investigation Discovery and the Justice Network. Adam & Eve (an erotic product seller) seem to be everywhere these days, but they are targeting committed couples, primarily straight.

I'm guessing that the women in your target audience probably aren't quite that brazen. Perhaps instead of selling the mp3s, which could be embarrassing if found on a phone, tablet or other device, you might investigate a subscription service (here's a name - G-Spotify ) with a relatively innocuous name. The digital equivalent of the "discrete plain brown wrapper".

You and I are in a similar industry. Same genre. Same target audience, different media. I write novels, rather then record audio.

Yes, the niche is very small. I know the torment of a small niche. My own niche (Yaoi/gay erotica for women) is rather large, but the sub-genre within in that I focus on (sissification/transvestite, BDSM/CBT, Monster Porn & Unicorn Porn - the genre is literally transvestite Elves being kidnapped and raped by horses - not a lot of demand for that) has just about almost exactly 7,000 readers world wide, meaning I know EXACTLY who my target audience is, but there are not many of them to target. Oh well. I knew that before I got started, so I knew what to expect.

It sounds like you are dealing with far more mainstream pairings, so you should be able to branch out into a wider audience once more people know your product is out there.

Somewhere around here on the Warrior's Forum, was a post, written maybe 3 or 4 years ago, can't remember which user or what the specific topic was... but there was a thread, something to do with dropshipping, that had listed a bunch of adult entertainment sites for internet marketers. It had focused on adult toy drop shippers mostly. But what it was was a list of adult entertainment sites that were open to internet marketing and had drop shipping programs, and affiliate programs. The list is possibly outdated, but if you do a forum search for it, you should be able to find it and it should prove a wealth of resources to help you find sites with affiliate programs and possible sites willing to sell your product to their customers.

One heads up for you... you possibly already know, but just in case you didn't or in case someone else reading this was considering getting into the adult entertainment industry... you want to tread lightly with Google AdSense and AdWords. You can you AdSense on a site that sells Erotica, providing the ads are not placed on any page that has adult content on it.

Also, schema meta date tags, etc, has a full list of meta data for sites within adult entertainment. If you haven't done so already, be sure to add those to your website. You can find info on them here:

https://schema.org/EntertainmentBusiness

https://schema.org/AdultEntertainment

Use meta data from all 3 of the above combined, to help increase traffic to your site.

Also, as you are dealing with audio books more or less, these ones might be helpful as well:

Note sure from what you say, if you've already published them somewhere or not, but if not have you considered publishing these via Amazon's audio book service? Here is the link to that in case it's something you are interested in looking into Download Audiobooks with Audible.com, this would make your products available to Amazon Associates (affiliate marketers using Amazon to monetize their website). A lot of Erotica sites list ebooks via Amazon product links; getting your audios on Amazon, would open your product to them.

Amazon is about to remove their ban on the NEXUS Tax sates meaning 28 states previously not allowed to use Amazon affiliate links on their sites will be doing so next month. It goes into effect in 4 days. Amazon should see a mass flooding of new sites promoting product links, now would be a good time to get your products on Amazon.

Before the Nexus Tax ban, most of my income was from Amazon (Maine was one of the states, banned from the program) From 2004 to 2013, my book review blog was one of my biggest incomes, fully funded by links to books on Amazon. I took the blog offline when Amazon cut Maine off the program, but in 4 days, my blog is going back online and I'm going to be doing book reviews again. There were some 14,000 book review blogs shut down by the Nexus Tax ban that are planning to go back online next week when Amazon reopens their affiliate program to all those states they banned in 2013. A lot of us book reviewers read, review, and promote Erotica. What you are describing is basically an audio books, I think you'd be able to find quite a few Erotica reviewers looking for new products right now with Amazon just 4 days from reopening the affiliate program for us 28 states that got cut out in 2013.

If your products are not for sale on Amazon yet, I'd defiantly look into getting them on their and then actively seeking out every book review blog that reviews Erotica and uses Amazon affiliate links.Erotica is a big seller on Amazon.Even small niches do well there. Amazon's really the best place to sell Erotica when you get right down to it.

You can target new people, sometimes you need to make an questionary to women about what she want in erotic way, so try to understand the thinking moode.

Lucky!

Well this is the 1st time I have ever heard about this type of erotica product, i mean, i still believe watching porn is way better than listening to a MP3...

But anyway...

Have you ever thought about getting this into an application on Appstore or Google Play? Like an app where women can get access anytime with their phones and masturbate anytime they want.

Stick the trial product with the erotic toys can be a good idea.

I saw your targeted customers' age range from 30 - 45, how about expand to 60? I mean even women from 45 to 60 have to come sometimes right... just my personal idea.

I'm an audiobook narrator. I'm the voice pouring through your earbuds as you commute to work, sweat it out at the gym, or finish folding laundry. I'm reading you your YA, Fantasy, Inspirational Self Help, whatever you choose to listen to.

More often than not though, I'm reading dirty books to you. I've been doing this for about a year - I've recorded just over 25 titles and it's the best job I've ever had: fun, relatively easy, and just weird enough.

A product such as this, will require a lot of advertising.
When when bring something new to the market, Making profits becomes very expensive and kind of a huge gamble.

Highly stimulating thread

better opt for going with Google Adwords wherein you pay Google to highlight your website in paid section for "Erotic hypnosis for women"...it might be a bit costlier in the beginning but as sales come in (which is guaranteed in case of Adwords) you will surely have Cost Per Click or CPC lesser than what you started with...

A few decades ago, there was a (pardon the expression) radical feminist named Andrea Dworkin. She claimed that all heterosexual sex was rape. Yet she made her living writing erotica.

She was once asked what the difference was between what she wrote and porn. Her reply was that her writing was so much better, it was literature rather than porn.

My guess is that many of the "Literotica" authors y'all are contacting hold similar visions. Which may account for the lack of response to proposals they consider beneath them. They may respond better to an ego appeal, bringing their art to the masses, rather than a crass commercial offer like a revenue split.

this can be great turn on for the girls out there, something different which now in a modern world is very appreciated, but for this you need to understand the desires of different women, every women in this world is different work on your advertisement, approaching.
