Let's say I write some good shit, 200 pages long. Nice history, have people wanting more... Etc etc.
In what ways could I make money from it? Donations? Sales on amazon or something?
I have no experience in the "market" of books/ebooks and I need money

Answer me

Yes. But mostly smut
>>
>>24119032
Depends what you write. Smut, fanfiction, substack, get money via patreon, or a real novel, etc etc
>>
just find a publisher, don't forget knee pads
>>
>>24119095
I dont get down like that
>>24119076
If you wanted to make money, what would you write?
>>24119071
I assume the smut market is super saturated, right?
>>
>>24119111
If I solely cared about money, I would make Youtube videos. So, writing scripts and editing.

Absolutely, but it doesn't seem to matter. Women are crazy gooners

I dont understand
>>24119123
And where would I sell this coomer pdf?

Unironically reddit

>>24119032
yes but you gotta hustle for a long time before you see any profit. Its about building an audience, keeping a consistent schedule, shilling yourself and paying for advertisements and trying to stand above the 400 other books released just that day alone.

>>24119032
>good shit
First mistake. You need to publish consistently and to market which means writing a lot. Doesn't have to be slop but it is easier to make money with market oriented stuff like erotica, romance, litrpg/progression, "cozy" (books where nothing happens)
Getting a good back catalog going is key. Think like a pulp fiction author.
>200 pages
Probably not enough in the sci fi/fantasy sphere. 80k+ words are expected. Romance is shorter, erotica can be ~10k shorts.
>"market"
Amazon KDP is the go-to. Alternatives include Smashwords, D2D. Check out eroticauthors, selfpublish on reddit for advice. Alternatives include selling PDFs on your website, gumroad, etc.

Now keep in mind that treating writing as a job will probably ruin your vision of yourself as an author, and likely make you hate writing altogether at times.

Good luck anon. We're in this together.
