As a primarily non-AB author, I suspect my niche is somewhat smaller. I don't advertise on Amazon because I suspect they wouldn't allow it. I don't really understand the line between erotica and not. Apparently, it is up to Amazon to determine. I honestly note my books are not for under 18 when I list them. About all I do is mention them here and add a Tumblr post. I usually mention when I put a new one up and when I give one away. Sometimes I'll mention them on FetLife and Zity but that's a not as often. So, what insight can you shed on more sales and royalties? Curious minds are listening.

If you take them down from the other sites, you can enroll them in Kindle Unlimited for 90 days to see what happens. I've made very little any place but Amazon. If you did KU for 90 days, you'd see if people would read your books. I find it isn't the same people that buy books because when I dropped out for 6 months, my revenue was half.

About half of my income is from page reads. I dropped all of my books from Kindle Unlimited for six months and the income plummeted. From that I inferred that those who buy my books are not the same people that read my books. Also, I don't think Amazon goes by actual pages. I think it is by word count. If you have a lot of dialog or short paragraphs in general, it tends to inflate the page count when the word count is lower for that many pages. I'm in a reddit group that talks about the games authors play to attempt to get their page counts inflated for more profit. I just format mine with Kindle Create and the chips fall where they may.

While I understand your concerns, blackmail is about preying on the fears of the blackmailed. People have committed murders to keep from having minor details of their private lives exposed. While I won't say anything is possible, truth can be stranger than fiction.

So, she couldn't leave it alone. Hmm.

Thoughts on naming diaper brands in stories
BoTox replied to MinnesotaWriter's topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
I've altered all the names in my stories to be similar but not name brand as it removes any chance of being sued or harrassed by the trademark owner. -
Tentative Book Cover in the Works
BoTox replied to BoTox's topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
I went with this as my cover when I published the story a few weeks ago. I think it turned out pretty well. I made it a public street with a sign for a comfort station in the background. I filled out her hips and made the diaper droop between her legs large. The cover of a book is to grab attention and draw the reader in. The story is about a guy born in the time of the diaper plague where all women are infected with the virus that destroys their continence secretly wants to wear diapers. He makes a few mistakes and winds up in state-sanctioned counseling. From there, things surface that let him realize his internal conflicts. -
OK, I'm loving this story. It would fit right in with my Legally Diapered stories. I could make some predictions of where I think it is going but I don't want to ruin it for anyone that doesn't think like me. LOL

Tentative Book Cover in the Works
BoTox replied to BoTox's topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
Here's my second book cover idea for this upcoming book. Which is better? Ideas, thoughts or snide remarks? -
Here's a book cover I'm in the process of making for my next book in the Diaper Plague series. It is about a MtF transgender. I have another one I'll post up once I've made it presentable to see which one is better liked.

Story about MtF Gender Affirmation Surgery?
BoTox replied to BoTox's topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
Thanks, I've enjoyed the legally diapers series but I'm not sure I have any topics that would be worth continuing it. My ideas come in spurts and fits with little continuity, hence the latest story. Having absolutely no experience with transgender or transitions, I did a lot of reading of blogs and medical descriptions. Hopefully, I won't be terribly far off the mark. -
If you are familiar with my Diaper Plague world, it is the next installment I'm working on. If you aren't, briefly, a virus has wiped out all continence for women and they have been legally relegated to second class citizens with few rights and locked diapers. I have written a story about a guy that secretly wants to wear diapers like his mom and sister. He gets caught by the authorities and is locked in diapers for 30 days while being forced to see a therapist. This leads to him discovering he has long repressed desires to be treated like a girl. The story is about his journey and where it leads him. I intend to have elements of transgender, med-fet, forced diapers, surgical incontinence and transition surgery. So far, I have about 16,000 words written before I start polishing. Does this sound like something that would have a following?

If you could have no control of your bladder
BoTox replied to abwetter1's topic in Incontinent-Desires
If the pill were like a laxative for the bladder, had a known effective time frame and wore off after the dose had run its course, then I think it would be interesting to experiment with it. For instance, take it before bedtime and wake up wet would be a freeing experience. As a permanent or very long acting cause of incontinence, no, I would not. That will remain the stuff of fantasy. -
Audio books do very well but are very expensive to create. If you have a pleasing voice and can read them well, you will probably have quite a following.

Free Amazon Book This Weekend - The Best Parking Spaces
BoTox replied to BoTox's topic in Story and Art Forum
Thanks for the feedback. I had a follow up intended when I was writing it. I wanted to leave a little on the table. It also shows that she was wiling to temporarily trade some of her dignity for a little longer hold on the best parking spaces. It had become too easy for her to fall into that routine.- 9 replies

Free Amazon Book This Weekend - The Best Parking Spaces
BoTox replied to BoTox's topic in Story and Art Forum
I understand your problem. I setup a proxy and use a different machine for all of my kinky stuff. Perhaps you could use TOR or UltraSurf for your alternate Amazon account? To be honest, giving it away on Amazon still gets me page reads, which pays me even though the reader pays nothing for the book. Due to it being enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, I'm not allowed to distribute it via other channels.- 9 replies

This weekend, from Friday to Sunday, midnight to midnight Pacific TIme, my first in the Legally Diapered Series is available for free. Get your free copy starting Friday morning: The Best Parking Spaces Here's the blurb in case you need enticement to delve further. Barb had it all, great job, racy car and amazing looks but she didn't have a good parking spot. She had always had to cruise the lot to find a suitable space. More than once she had illegally parked in the seldom used handicapped parking places. After all, they weren't being used. She'd been ticketed one too many times and the police towed her car. That was inconvenient. Now she'd have to trek across town to get it back. To her dismay, it wasn't that simple. She was facing some real jail time if it were not for an alternative sentencing program. She was not prepared for the terms of the diversionary program that had her wetting diapers uncontrollably. The only upside to her sentence of incontinence and disability was that she could continue to use the best parking spaces.

Editing/saving before publishing???
BoTox replied to Tisha's topic in Critiques and Writer's Discussion
That's sort of what I do. I create in Apache Open Office so I can edit it easily and then paste it into Notepad. It strips all the weird formatting marks that a word processor adds. -
OK, not sure if this is getting better or not.
