I have no experience with it myself, but apparently smut is good at making you money if you go self-publish it on kindle

Call me cheap, but i wouldn't dream of spending $2.99 or even 99c on smut.

Do people really spend all day buying/reading random unknown shit on Amazon?

I think there's some kind of best-selling list on you can access, if you are in the mood for reading smut that's probably the easiest and fastest way to do it.

Buying smut is probably more of an impulse decision you make in the moment, rather then something you plan for a long time, I reckon

I bought the complete works of Kafka for 2.99, so there is good stuff, the smut is just there like the candy in the checkout isle of a grocery store.

There are many guides on the blackhatworld forums for self publishing on Amazon. My favorite is the german nigga paying 20 bucks a sex story to a Nepalese call center, and then editing them into collections, and editing for content and readability, and then charging 2.99.

Usually the guys who do this also spend most of their time identifying trends in what people are reading (copy paste):

1. How to pick the right niche?

Fiction Niches

I cannot give pertinent guidance related to fiction niches because I have no experience in that area. I published only non-fiction books.

However, the most popular fiction niches are (in this order):

Romance
Fantasy (mixed with Romance would be the best choice here)
Science Fiction
Mystery (again, it should be mixed with Romance)
Thriller
Erotica ( don’t make the mistake of confusing Erotica with pornography)
Historical Fiction
Drama
Horror
Young Adult
Apocalyptic


Non-Fiction Niches

Normally, you are suggested to try to decide on a thing on what you are really good at and start writing a book about that particular skill or knowledge. Things are not so simple in our real life. And, because this is BHW, I cannot come here and pretend that I’ve done the same.
No. The first thing that I’ve done was related to the keywords. Which are the keywords that are selling on Kindle platform? Obviously, the answer came fast and from many places: the same keywords that we use for building niche sites are selling books in Kindle Store, too.
Therefore you need to find a niche that has best ration between your field of expertise and its income potential. Personally, I am not necessarily looking for niches where I have expertise. I go with those niches where I find out that the income is decent.

This is how the top looks like:

Weight Loss
Health & Fitness
Parenting
Family
Relationships
Make Money
Budget management
Cook-books
Any other niche that you have found to work with niche websites

The fact that you are not self-publishing this as an e-book on kindle makes me either doubt the legitimacy of anything you are writing or doubt your business skills.

Im just copy pasting, I did email spamming until 2010. I just have always been fascinated.

Many people do, there are a lot of great and mediocre but entertaining books that go unpublished. Especially amongst genre fiction, where stories don't fit the "fantasy stories are 3 books long" mold.

There's also smut, which is about more than just describing two people fucking. Some people pull a couple hundred a month just writing 40 page erotica and selling it for 2.99 a pop.

I think there is seriously nothing wrong with Kindle as format, I like to read with my phone when on the train etc. Obviously no matter the format you can see who has talent and put the effort in the work.
