First, I have NOT tried this diaper. I have only heard about it on the Love In Brief Podcast. They claim an amazingly huge 9500ml capacity. That over 2 and 1/2 gallons! Imagine. Can you imagine four 2-liters and almost a fifth hanging from your waist? https://amzn.to/3eHnEPb

My latest book in the Diaper Plague series, Book 6 - A Smart Girl in Diapers, has been released on Amazon in Kindle format. Here’s the blurb: When all the women in the world are incontinent from the plague, those that come after never knew a time without being wet and in diapers. But what's a smart girl to do in this world? This is the sixth in the Diaper Plague series. It is the story of Emma Boxer, the smartest girl in her class, possibly in the whole school. Her tale illustrates how a brilliant girl, deprived of a properly stimulating education, still manages to find love and grow. Things are not all sunshine and rainbows for a smart girl, though. She must learn to navigate this man's world or face the consequences.

Aside from Patreon and DeviantArt, are there other sites or ways of selling your work have you had success with? Any you would call the best? I use Amazon, both Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. Of late, I've also placed some thing with ABUniverse that has done well but I don't have any stats yet. Content/Genre questions Does anyone take commissions? Has this been effective for you? How have you structured your pricing? Do you have anyone regularly commissioning work? I don't take commissions. I write what I like. I have a hard time writing what others want unless it meshes heavily with my personal tastes. "Add-ons" questions Has anyone commissioned visual artwork to accompany any of their writing? Do you think it increased sales enough to justify the expense? I've never paid anyone to do artwork. I have generally found free, public domain images and made them work with a little photoshopping. Has anyone hired a narrator to record your work? Has that sold enough to justify the expense? My sales are low enough that I don't have any level of confidence that paying for narrator would be cost effective. Collaboration questions Is it worth it to work with an editor? I'm thinking primarily a proofreader, but it's expensive. If anyone has had any luck with a proofing program that catches things like missing words and typos that aren't actually misspellings, I'd be most interested. I use ProWriting Aid to do most of my proofing for grammar and spelling. It helps quite a bit as long as you examine the changes without just mindlessly clicking everything. Other means of earning money questions Has anyone considered any other ways of making money by serving the ABDL community? - I have not Has anyone tried starting a business for physical products for the ABDL community? - I have not I've not gotten rich with Amazon but 30+ books have earned me some extra spending money every year. It is a hobby for me so money was never my main concern.

I've got a pair for you, too!

Someone had your book in their Kindle and it sat for a very long time before they decided they would open it and read it. I've had it happen, too.

If you logged into the KDP account, you should be able to see a report on where the money came from. If you search for the book on Amazon, do you find it? The other option is someone had it in their Kindle and finally started reading it.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" before? Plenty of competitors exist but they all want it their way or are carving out their own niches. If a few of them would band together instead of living off the scraps Amazon allows them, they would be a force to be reckoned with. Does anyone even remember Blockbuster, Borders, Kodak, Pan-Am, Polaroid or Toys R Us? Kodak was in business for more than 100 years and they went out with a whimper when the next big thing in pictures killed them and Polaroid. Netflix killed Blockbuster and I'm sure Amazon had a hand in Borders' demise. There is nothing too big to fail. Entities become too big to survive. Dinosaurs demonstrated this perfectly. The smallest animals were the ones that survived, the lean, efficient ones, not the behemoths that perished. What are current events and realities today can quickly change, often in a ball of flaming fire in the sky. LOL

They do not have a monopoly. You and I are free to publish any place we like. There are plenty of options. Barnes&Noble for one. Amazon does have the lion's share of the market though. If you want the most eyeballs, Amazon is the best bang. As for Kindle Unlimited and people reading "for free" everything in KU, they pay a monthly fee that is divided among all the pages read and distributed to the authors per page read. At $0.004 per page, it isn't big money but if you have 10,000 pages read a month, it adds up pretty quickly. I've had a few 10,000 page views per month and those are sweet checks that were in addition to sales.

To be fair, you CAN find snow on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii. Both are well above 13,500 ft tall and have snow most winters. https://www.hawaii.com/big-island/things-to-do/snowboard

I hope it didn't disappoint. Would one set in the same world but in reverse go over? A woman that identifies as a man? The mechanics of the universe would make it a more arduous legal task but I've been thinking of it as a project.

ProWriting Aid is also available in Google Docs. It helps with a lot of my writing but I fight it on some things. I disable those rules that cramp my style. Also, it can point out words you overuse. My downfall is "just" as in "She just wet herself" and "I just need another chance."

I just published the first of my Ingrid Chronicles with ABDiscovery. We shall see how that goes. I'm hopeful but not counting on it for the purchase of my first private jet. The method you are using now is called "going wide" by most in the subreddit I'm in. If your work is compatible with Amazon and already there, you should give Kindle Unlimited a try. You will have to remove them from all other sites that sell it but I'd bet you see more money because the folks that have Kindle Unlimited will take a chance on it because they have already paid a monthly fee. I can discuss in PM if you want to quiz me. After all, you said yourself you've made $0.00 in 7 years with non-Amazon. Give the pay-per-page option a try. It literally doubles my income. That's also why I'm curious to see how ABDiscovery works out. I think I'm paid something like $0.0045 a page. A 200 page book read once is $0.90. My profit on a 200 page book that sells for $2.99 is usually about $2.05. If my book is read twice, that is about as good as a sale. Some months I have 10K pages read. I'm not getting rich by any stretch. If it was about money, I'd write steamy romance where some of those folks make over $10,000 A MONTH! Here's a chart of my book sales and pages read. The slump to 0 pages read for a few months was me trying Smashwords. That was a low point in income.

Never had that happen. I'd be interested in hearing what you discover.

It comes from writing for more than 20 years. I've still got old stories that most likely won't fly on Amazon. I'd love to get my Mistress Ingrid: The Diapering Domme up but I know they would make me nervous, waiting for Amazon to bring down the ban-hammer.

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.

You can pack those fields with more than a single word as well. For instance, "ageplay diaper regression" could go in a single of the seven keywords fields. You are looking for the things a user would key in when searching for a story to make yours match.

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

FYI: The links don't appear to be working.

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.

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.

I've received the 1099 email already and have downloaded it. I have not seen any USPS mail from Amazon.

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
