Is there a market for erotica?

by Slickest

Posted: 14 years ago 116 replies

INTERNET MARKETING

|

I have erotic story packets that I'm considering making into PLR if I find there is a market. What would be your advice on how to package them? According to perversio .. I mean according to sexual proclivity or niche, or make the packages assorted? How many words would be ideal? (some are quite long). Are they best in text or .doc files? Do they need to be keyworded? How many stories/articles would I put in a package, and finally .. how much should I charge?
I hate to get too many of these put together only to find out that I did it wrong.

We all got to be experts at something right?

Seriously, I generally find that people trying to sell PLR have a difficult time finding customers. Erotica may find a larger market simply because it's so hard to find writers who will work in sexual niches, but the PLR business in general seems saturated by price-shoppers who simply don't ever want to pay more than a few cents per article.

I'd recommend you hang out your shingle as an article writer willing to work in sexual niches. You'll probably have more work than you can handle in short order, because there are a LOT of people in sexual health and porn/dating niches here.

Thanks

Are you serious?

If I could get paid for writing smut for other people I would think I'd have died and gone to heaven.

Maybe I need a career move....

See, where were you when one of my clients needed 500 catalog descriptions for an adult storefront? I had to turn down the job because I couldn't find enough decent outsourcers to guarantee the turnaround time they needed. There's a lot of money being left behind because there just aren't enough good writers working in this area.

Submit a help desk ticket; there's nothing in the rules about it, so you should ask the staff directly.

Alternately, since all classified ads go through an approval process before going live, you could just write your ad and submit it - knowing that if it gets approved it's okay. But it would be polite to ask at the help desk first.

LOL Well, I write my own stuff, but I don't write for clients.

However, your posts have gotten me thinking that it may not be a bad idea. It might even be fun.

Caliban is right. I often see people in the Warrior's for Hire section ask Warrior's if they will write an article for the adult niche, and they usually say no.

You could carve a niche out here in the WF by advertising your services as a writer of Adult content. Mind you, I'm not 100% sure it's allowed by WF.

I've written a lot of erotica over the years and even used to sell it to magazines but I never posted an ad here for it because as you note, I'm not sure it is allowed by WF. Especially since my erotic writing is -- well -- kind of in the realm of fetish and other odd areas.

  Catching a cheating spouse is definitely hot. I know of one well known Warrior who did very well with a PLR ebook on that very subject. Just think outside of the box, and you'll find a solution sooner or later.
  
  Good luck.

I've written for every niche under the sun, and I can assure you that there is a market for erotica. As usual CDarklock hit the nail square on the head, I'm sure there is a decent market for someone whose not worried about writing in the sex/dating niche.

Well I admire you for that, some people are just a little more picky. I never had a problem personally with writing articles for the adult industry, quite frankly there more interesting then writing about lawn gnomes.

  Just a fair warning OP, my experience so far is that dealing with morally grey subjects such as gambling, adult, etc on warrior forum will have you met with a LOOOOOOOOT of members looking down on you and invalidating you.

Erotica may find a larger market simply because it's so hard to find writers who will work in sexual niches

There are plenty of erotica writers, you just need to know where to look. The Warrior Forum has it's strengths but sex ain't one of 'em.

Slickest, check out GFY.com or netpond.com or just google adult webmaster forums. There are a bunch of 'em that rival and in some cases even surpass the all mighty warrior forum. The adult internet marketing industry has been around a long long time. I think they invented the internet with Al Gore.

I was in dire need of stuff a couple of months ago. I wanted to improve the written content on a site of mine to see how it would effect rankings compared to the typical 300 words dribble that usually leaks out of my head, and honestly, I'm kinda tired of writing about barely legal teens kissing, caressing and.... whoops... that'll be $19.95 to watch in FULL 1080i HD

Mind you, I'm not 100% sure it's allowed by WF.

It's allowed. There have been adult and porn related WSO's in the past. Not sure how sales were but I know there are a few here, including myself, who are equal opportunity marketers. Besides, a big boob blog is a hell of a lot more fun than pitching rehash MMO ebooks.

Erotica sells like hotcakes on the kindle, perhaps you could publish them on there?

I don't know what you mean by story packets or if those would be long enough to qualify as a kindle book but I was just looking at the thread over there on February sales and one of the erotica authors was raking it in. I tried to find the thread again for you to paste it in here but after 20 minutes of looking I gave up - sorry

Good to hear you're looking into that. I agree with Lee 100%. You might be sitting on your erotica Kindle publishing empire.

Erotica has it's own category in the Kindle marketplace so it's a hot seller.

What Caliban said. I wouldn't worry about it. The only Kindle e-book that got into hot water on Amazon was the pedophile guide and even that Amazon defended the guys first amendment right until it was too much bad press. So as long as you keep your stories between adults I think you'll be fine.

Here is the story on that...

How many stories/articles would I put in a package, and finally .. how much should I charge?
I hate to get too many of these put together only to find out that I did it wrong.

We all got to be experts at something right?

Are you willing to write about hurms that overuse of erotica could cause?

  Have you tried to do any simple research of the market?
  
  It is quite competitive so you really have to be creative for your product to be seen.
  
  It will be better for you to target some keywords that are not so popular in the niche and give it to them.
  
  You can broaden your keywords as you start getting results and more confidence.
  
  Generally, such articles doesn't have to be less than 500 words.

I have a vibrator site. It is just sitting there making no money at all. I think I made two or three sales on CJ as an affiliate for Eden fantasies. I see large potential here though. I never really done much with this site, it was just a brainstorm. The reason I didn't do anything with it is because I feel completely awkward writing about anything erotic. I tried writing a few articles but it's just not me. Maybe you could look into something like this as it should be second nature to you to write about such things and get your visitors juices flowing, so to speak.

Hey Slickest,
I really appreciate the offer but as I said, the site is just sitting there waiting to expire. I am to busy with other stuff. It was just one of those (I am going to make it big time selling sex toys) moments. We all get them from time to time, don't we?

Anyway, thanks for the offer.

As for writing erotica, I'm curious about the Kindle thing. How hard (Whoops, haha) is it to sell/offer things on the Kindle marketplace?

I bought the domain brazzersvideo.org, which gets about 33k exact world-wide. I'd sell it if someone wants it. The keyword research I did suggested it'd be wide open for the .org. Could pull in a good 1k a month if it gets top spot?

pm me if interested, could do deal on papal and push from Godaddy in a couple o' minutes.

Kindle is my new obsession. I'm on the Kindleboards every day studying what everyone else is doing.

If I were a writer of erotica - I'd just package the stuff up as a series of novellas or even a novel, get someone to design an attractive cover for me - and sorry, I'm not thinking lawn gnomes! - and promote/sell it.

The erotica writers on Kindle seem to do VERY well for themselves. Think about it. Who wants to go to a bookstore to buy those books, when they could just download it as an ebook?

Selena Kitt, an erotica writer, says she's making $3000 A DAY selling her erotic books on Barnes & Noble. Actually she says that happened after she was banned from Amazon because of the content of her books - apparently a little TOO hot and spicy for them.

But anyway...if you know how to market yourself, and you're a good writer, I'd say you're wasting your time with PLR in this case.

Thanks

Hi,

I opened your website but there is no word about erotica... No other link to follow. I sent a PM.

Please check your site - McAfee SiteAdvisor validates it as red, dangerous site. I can give you no advice what to do. My 40+ sites are verified and registered on SiteAdvisor, yet, all are gray with the exception of two. Those two are red... very simple sites with some data and CB ads only. How to change them? I don't know.

Well I'm so glad to see I can be a trend setter for erotica topics. Besides lawn gnome erotica is an evergreen niche, I prefer them to those seasonal outside figurines. Once the holiday passes, then there just useless.

I suppose now that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon I will need to find something different.

Erotic... snow globes?

Until we see those warriors actually publishing their erotica e-books on Amazon then it's all talk not trend setting. Using reverse psychology to get them to take action.

On here, who knows. There might be people that are in that niche on the down-low. Package up some of your stories and setup a WSO. Then you'll know for sure if there is market on here for it.

Aside from selling erotica books how is one in that market as a niche? Since it's not really adult/porn stuff.

Same. I have an erotica blog that I had been working on for a while. I dropped the project, thinking it wouldn't be profitable. I never even bothered trying to monetize the blog at all, as it was just a hobby at the time. The blog still gets subscribers even though I don't write for it. That must say something.

Guess I'll dust off that story I was working on, put it on the Kindle, and send the people from the blog over there if they want to read the rest.

Sounds like a good project for the weekend.

There are all kinds of genre writers, and erotic romance is very well represented there. Tina Folsom and Selena Kitt are a couple of people whose posts you could look for. Post questions and ask away. They are very friendly and helpful there.

A lot of writers there are doing really well on Barnes & Noble self-publishing, as well. Usually writers try to sell their works across multiple platforms.

I have a friend who's looking into doing this - no, I swear to God it's not me, I'm working on an urban fantasy novel - so please PM me if you get a chance, I'd love to swap info.

In my first comment, I said writing "for other people" and getting paid for it (in the sense of being a hired writer) would be like I'd died and gone to Heaven.

I already write smut for myself. I also have people that read and like my smut.

That's true what Cosmo said looks like straight-out porn is not allowed by Amazon according to this article:

Amazon: It's OK To Write Books About Having Sex With Kids, But Porn Is Out Of Bounds

And there is a "contains pornographic content" choice in their feedback form for people to report it. So looks like you have to stay on the Showtime skin-flicks type area vs. the more explicit stuff.

I would purchase a few of the current best sellers in the erotica category, most are only $.99 cents to get an idea how explicit they are.

Another idea... sell them on Amazon as R-Rated then in your book offer then an upgrade to the X-Rated stuff then just use PayPal/e-junkie to process the order. Upsell them the hardcore stuff.

This is a good idea, and will let you know exactly what Amazon considered to hardcore. Personally I've read some of the summaries in the erotica section, and I really can't see them banning you.

Thanks

Um. As I have said - I am a pervy wench, with more kinks than a chain link fence. I could very well see them banning me.

You will never know unless you try. I'm sure such a pervy wench as yourself has enough material lying around for a book of short stories? Remember..jaj vIghaj!

The erotica I've read in most bookstores is....tame.

But I could possibly use your suggestion.

Thanks

Alan, that's a great idea for applying time-tested IM upsell methods to erotica novels. I don't think there'd be any issues selling it via Paypal, and with e-junkie you could also get affiliates promoting your X-rated stuff for a commission!

Paul

Thanks

I'm sorry about that!
Lots of difference between
romantic vs erotic vs explicit vs downright dirty.

Thinking of expanding on some of the short stories I've written, (taking out the explicit parts) and making the heroine a little harder to get.

One of my first clients here on the WF needed articles for the "erotica" niche. I had a blast writing them. In fact, she liked them so much she ordered quite a few more. They were quite fun to research and hell I'd write for that niche again in a heart beat. Sure beats some of the other not so great ones I had to write about before. In otherwords, if anyone needs some written feel free to message me and we can work something out.

Best wishes,
Sylvia

Well it actually is adult / porn stuff in my opinion. When body parts are named, engaged, and involved, it's adult. My definition of porn may be different than someone else's though.

I just love this thread. So many great ideas and perspectives. I could see someone doing quite well in this niche on kindle or mobipocket too, as then the little miss doesn't have to show her face to anyone as she purchases it LOL. I mean think of how much better V.C Andrews (I think that was the writers name) would have done if those books had also been published in the e-book format! Hmmm... so many ideas, so little time LOL.

Best wishes,
Sylvia

ifforkerbi - sent you both a PM and an email (the address you gave me bounced so I tried best guess, and it seems to have went through)
I did not receive the order - only a request for information - so you should now have my personal email and we can go from there!

I was at a "goddess party" the other night and the rep was selling a book of "bedtime stories". Basically it was a book of short stories that you can read in bed with your partner to get you into the "mood".

I am betting that they probably did some market research before making that product to make sure that there is a market for it. Maybe you can write your own book and sell it.

I thought adult/erotic content offers etc were banned on this forum. What with all the underage IMers hanging around

But I have to agree, writing such content will be much more interesting than writing about furniture, big screen TVs etc.

I would write some short, erotic fiction and sell it on Kindle via Amazon Marketplace. It's easy, and FREE to publish.
