Wattpad – My Experience So Far It took some time for me to choose the main social platform I was going to use to promote my brand, and in the end I decided for Twitter and Facebook first, added Wattpad later (tried Reddit, tried Inkitt, no good results). Here is my Wattpad Profile! Facebook and […]
Today we talk about the book metadata: all the descriptive information you should prepare to be ready to publish your book on Amazon, and other platforms. As you’ve noticed, I just finished my journey to publishing my first, short novelette on Amazon, so I’m fresh on the topic. On a Sunny Day I’ll slowly prepare […]
There’s nothing as sad as an author who has lost his writing. Hours and hours of thinking, writing, sweating… all thrown in the bin of regret, because you didn’t spend one day to understand what to do to protect your work? Think: computers are machines made by man, software is made by men. There’s not […]
We already spoke on more occasions about the importance of a clear Brand Identity, especially when it comes to up-selling. Why Do You Need a Brand Identity?

Last week we saw how we can boost a Facebook post to try to reach more people, the basic rules to follow and how they affect advertising for an erotic book. At some point, if you remember, I wrote that there was a better way to do what we were doing. Indeed, there is. In […]
My first published story is getting along pretty well, and as such I’ve been studying a little about marketing. Indeed, marketing for an erotic author is not easy, especially when it comes to advertising on the common platforms: they don’t want you or they want you to keep a low profile. But since I think […]
I happened to come across this article about short stories: that seemed to have quite a following. Does writing short story really differs from longer ones when it comes to choosing the words?
