Writing erotica sounds easy… in theory.

After all, if someone else can pump out a 4,000-word short story that contains a couple of sex scenes and a bit of plot, why can’t you?

But that attitude is why you’re going to make 4 sales, 132 page reads, and wonder why you didn’t do better. You wrote an erotic short, you published it, what more do the people want?

Truth be told? A lot.

Where could you have gone wrong?

1. You haven’t done your research. So you don’t know what the people want.
2. You don’t have a publishing schedule. So the people don’t know when to check your author page for a new book.
3. Your title doesn’t tell your readers what your book is about. So people skim over your mysterious title because it says nothing.
4. Your cover doesn’t sell your niche. So people aren’t sure the contents will sell it either.
5. Your blurb isn’t strong enough. So they aren’t sold that you’ve written what they want.
6. Your keywords don’t help market your book. So no one is going to find it.
7. You are over/underpricing your book. So people think the quality is poor (low pricing) or you’re trying to overcharge them…
