Earn More Money NOW: How to Make $100 a Day Writing Erotica

Because writing is hot AF. And freelance writers are sexy.

Life as a writer isn’t always sexy. In fact, starting out as a freelance writer isn’t always pretty or easy. Finding legitimate gigs that pay well is often even harder. And coming up with a writing niche that is likely to pay the bills is often tough.

Writing erotica could be a good place to launch your freelance writing career, especially if you are passionate about writing on edgy topics. It could also be the perfect springboard into other related, yet more mainstream niches, such as writing on sex and relationships or self-love.

How to Make $100 a Day as a Writer of Erotica

If you’re interested in making a $100 a day or more money as a freelancer and want to explore writing erotica or writing on other related topics that fuel your passion, such as on relationships and love, keep reading here.

5 Ways to Make $100 a day Writing Erotica

Making a $100 each day from your writing amounts to over $36,000 a year. Sure, that’s not exactly a high-class salary, but it’s a decent starting point, especially if you consider that writing erotica doesn’t have to be a full-time job. It could simply be one of your multiple streams of revenue. If you don’t already know, having more than one income source is a good way to protect yourself financially from unexpected career or marketplace downturns or surprises.

Here are five ways to make $100 a day writing erotica, either as a freelance writing career focus or to supplement your income as a side hustle.

1. Learn the Craft.

You don’t need a creative writing or English degree to write Erotica, but taking time to study and learn the craft and tricks of the trade will pay off.

I recommend getting your hands on one (or more) of the best selling Erotica writing reference books, written by published and experienced erotica authors and writers who get the industry. For example, you can’t go wrong with checking out a copy (or Kindle edition) of How to Write Hot Sex or How to Write Erotica.

You’ll also want to make sure you publish consistently. Make writing regularly a habit.

2. Write on Medium.

There is still demand on Medium for erotica. Sure, you’ll probably want to keep your erotica, well, erotic vs. too explicit. Otherwise, you might encounter some issues that other writers have stumbled upon in publishing their work.

But there’s no way around it. Writers are still earning cash from sharing juicy, passionate stories — and there’s no evidence that interest in this writing genre is going to disappear anytime soon.

As a word of advice, if you’re a freelancer just starting out and writing erotica is one of your interests, you may want to add a second, more mainstream writing niche to bullet-proof your writing your career (at least to the degree that’s possible) in case you are ever banned or dropped from a publication because of your sexy writing pursuits.

3. Publish Ebooks.

Think Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). Many freelancers have good success earning money on Amazon from their short, erotic ebooks and book publications.

If you pursue ebook writing make sure you write stories that aren’t too short, aren’t too explicit, and avoid certain topics to avoid getting banned and to keep your author account in good standing. For example, you might want to aim for 8,000 words minimum for short stories and avoid writing on risky subjects considered offensive content.

4. Launch Your Own Website or Blog.

Offer writing courses, workshops, coaching or writer mentoring services on your website. Sell your own ebooks or publications directly. Write and monetize your own blog. As a note, you’ll want to confirm that any payment processors, affiliates, or advertisement networks you use are A-okay with your content.

5. Edit Erotic Books or Ghost Write.

Offer your services as an erotic book editor or ghost writer for other writers or publications. You can offer your writing services on freelance marketplaces, such as Upwork or Fiverr.

Conclusion

If you’re determined to make a $100 a day as a new writer of erotica, you can make it happen! What are you waiting for to launch, start, or expand your writing career?

Now is the perfect time to start writing.
