Erotic blogging anyone?

Are you aware of any successful ones?

I'm at work this AM. Searching would be a bad idea for me.

I suppose it could acquaint you with a niche audience.

I do know of someone who's been happily blogging under Blogger's [adult] content warning for a few years. I can't tell you directly because it would link back to my life here, which on pain of dismemberment and arse-firing must be kept totally and completely separate from work life.

Like, for reals.

But PM me if you want to know how to google it. She's a good writer, and she has many adventures.

I will also find you and set your arse afire without a qualm if you ever tell her how and from whom you got the address, so there's that. Be forewarned.

You can blog *about* erotica without posting large amounts of explicit material. I coast at the level of 'too hot for adsense' but 'okay with blogger'.

I do have an erotic blog: http://blackmastershango.blogspot.com/

What do you want to get out of blogging? A chance to show off your work? Add to your portfolio of stories? Audience/platform development? Personal gratification? Make money?

The drawbacks of having a blog: it's time-consuming and takes a lot of dedication and effort, building an audience takes a long time, differentiating yourself is getting harder, making money is often tough, anonymity is never guaranteed if you need it ...

You can have a blog without going through the blogging services like Blogger or Wordpress if being behind an age wall is of concern to you. (If you're publishing explicit content, I highly recommend having some sort of warning or age verification on any blog you set up.)
