Chapter 1: Frequentl y Asked Questions, ANSWERED

Before we get started, Im sure you have many questions. Allow me to answer a few of the big ones right now.

Can I really make a living writing and self-publishing books?

YES! There has never been a better time to become a self-published writer. The playing field has been leveled, and your newest book could stand right next to the latest bestseller on the online bookshelf. This isnt the old days of huge overhead or risk-taking. You dont need a giant publishing house behind you. All you need is a keyboard to type on and a computer to save your work. In some cases, you dont even need that. Just to prove a point, I wrote the entire chapter you are now reading on my cellphone. One of the largest current online marketplaces for ebooks even allows you to write, edit, and publish ebooks right from their bestselling ebook reader.

Ok, thats fine, but how much money can I actually make?

That depends on you. In terms of work vs. reward, e-publishing can be one of the easiest jobs youve ever done. A few hours a day can turn into an income that will follow you night and day for years to come. There are people all over the world making thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars every single month.

Do they stop there? No, these authors continue to write dozens of 5,000-7,000 word stories, published across several different genres, before dipping their hands into longer works. Writing erotica as a career is like having a paid internship where you can hone your craft on small works, becoming a better author while raking in a nice little income. Each of these books in turn will find larger and larger audiences, and your writing will improve. In your first month you might only make 100$, but if you follow my advice by the end of the year you can bank on quitting your day job.

Before you think that sounds crazy, I want you to understand that Im just talking about the SMALL fish in a BIG pond. There are self-published authors making tens of thousands and even millions of dollars in a single month. Take a moment and look up self-published authors like J.A. Konrath. Read about their incredible success for yourself. You dont need to be a bestselling author to make a great living, you can do extremely well even if none of your titles take off. If you write, the upside potential is almost totally limitless.

My point? You can do this. If you can write just a couple of hours a day, or even just a few hours a week, YOU CAN DO THIS . You dont need to write giant elaborate works (at least, not to start). If you can follow the directions I lay out in the following chapters of this book, you too will have a little ebook published and you WILL see your very first sale. Im not asking you to take all this on faith. Im asking you to TAKE ACTION . Im going to lead the horse to water. If you spend just a few hours writing your very first short story you will see the dollars hitting your bank account with your own two eyes. I have yet to write and publish a single thing that hasnt sold copies right from the get-go. Ill take you as far as your first 2$. Whether you decide to continue and make this your career is up to you.

Wait, -you- want me to write something?!?

YES! In fact, if this whole book was condensed down three words, that short sentence would read JUST KEEP WRITING . Im going to get you started in the easiest genre to write in, Erotica. Ill show you exactly how to write your first book, how to make a great and effective cover, and earn you some lunch money. Very little to no effort or difficulty will be required on your part.

EROTICA? You want me to write dirty words?

YES! Dont worry, youll be publishing under a penname so you wont spoil your good reputation or embarrass your family. Erotica is one of the BEST ways to begin writing for a living in this brave new world. Theres an insatiable hunger for short erotic ebooks with a huge number of women and men that want to give you their money for a few of those dirty words. Writing erotic shorts is a fantastic way to cut your teeth and improve your craft before aiming for the BIG bucks by writing your first romance novel. Follow my lead and get a few short erotic stories out right now, and youll learn the business of self-publishing from the inside out. Im going to turn you into a published author NOW , not at some time in the distant future. I want you making that first 2$ tomorrow. After you know the process, you can expand into whatever genre you please.

But I dont know how to write that kind of stuff

Thats ok, in Chapter 2 Im going to teach you EXACTLY how to write that first book. Its so easy youll be done by the end of the afternoon. My first book took me a couple of hours to write with no prior experience. You can do this, Ill prove it to you.

Ok, Im ready to write, where do I start?

Im so glad you asked. Join me in Chapter 2 and lets make you a couple dollars to rub together!

Chapter 2: Your -First- Erotic Ebook

I m going to get to all of the nitty gritty about formatting, creating covers, pricing, and ultimately publishing your very first ebook. Before I can get to all of that however, you need to write it! Now youre probably sitting there thinking how silly that sounds. Ava wants -me- to write a book?

NO!

I want you to write a short erotic story. This is going to be your bread and butter at first. Youll get to write your magnum opus someday, but for now, were going to make lots and lots of money off the small stuff. 3,500 thru 10,000 words. Itll take you a few hours in an afternoon or two. Let me show you how.

If youve already written something that is ready to publish, feel free to skip ahead to chapter 3. Seriously, do this NOW, not later. The sooner you get a book published the sooner you can see those first two dollars and nine pennies. Come back when youre finished, because Im about to teach you how to figure out what to write next.
