Where can I get paid to write erotic literature?

We Answered:

Ellora's Cave isn't the only game in town these days. There are a lot of publishers that take erotic lit these days. Even the mainstream publishers like Harlequin are getting into romantic erotica with their Spice line and Spice Briefs.

You didn't say if your stories are romantic or not, and that makes a difference.

I have a list of e-book publishers who do erotic romance on my website: http://www.lyndilamont.com/erotica.htm.

Scroll to the bottom to find the list of publishers. Some of them may also publish straight erotica. I make no recommendations, the list is just provided for information.

With the e-book format, it's easy to publish a short story on the internet, since word count is irrelevant. :)

Good luck with your writing!

P.S. If anyone is interested in learning to write erotic romance, Spice author Jina Bacarr and I are teaching an online class from Oct. 15-Nov. 11 through the Orange County chapter of Romance Writers of America: http://www.occrwa.com/classes.htm

Are there any paid to write sites where you do retain the right to royalties on your work?

We Answered:

StoryMash is one. It's a collaborative writing site, you keep your copyright but grant the site a non-exclusive license to use your work for 50% of the revenue. The twist is that anyone else can continue your stories. It's really a lot of fun, and a great community for useful feedback. They also run periodic contests.

If I write paid to blog content once a week on my blog, will it hurt my Google ranking?

We Answered:

Google does not like paid to blog posts. Matt Cutts, a Google engineer and head of their anti spam team, here clearly described why Google does not like paid to blog posts

http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/selling-li…

The posts just mentions that from a user's perspective, paid blog posts are not useful. And with Google, if they think the post is not useful, then they will not give it top rankings.

And doing a lot of that can eventually affect your blog, as Google will think you're blog is nothing but a paid-to-blog type of blog

I'd be very careful if I were you. You may not be affected now, but you're threading on the gray zone area and sooner or later, Google penalties may kick in
