How does one become a successful writer in current year if literacy rates are plummeting and only romanceslop sells?
>>24794063Just write for the sake of it
>>24794063Write romance. I know you like to get that pussy wet.
dafuq's with the gay hair and moustache?
>>24794073He's a writer now. It's basically a requirement that you look like you're not allowed within so many feet of a school.
>>24794063>10 reviews on goodreads>1.7m twitter followerssus
>>24794063This nigga looked like he had more sovl and had deeper insights as a wageslave than he does as a "writer".
>>24794116anon do you live under a rock?
>>24794063that book looks like slop. maybe try writing slop?
>>247943044channel is the only "social network" I use so you could say so
>>24794392the only way anyone in 2019+6 can become successful by writing is by already being successful doing something else
>>24794081I don't know why anyone would change their style if they became a writer. I sure wouldn't.
>>24794063Find a niche in which you have an asymmetric advantage, find an audience which is an untapped market and a topic which isn’t being written about which there is high demand for and low supply.
>>24794418i.e. he is some influencelet who wrote a book?
>>24794455its two things, if you think you are successful/famous enough to take it to the next level you write a book. if you write a book without having any fame or success you wont become famous or successfulthis guy belongs in the first camp, most authors belong to the secondlook at a list of bestsellers in todays day, youll notice most are books written by already successful people with the rest being either industry plants or slop written by someone that won the literary lottery
>>24794063what is his book about? title?
>>24794063Make a Visual Novel.>but the visuals!Invest some money unto an artist. Don't fall for the AI trap (unless you are making porn)
>>24794455>>24795134He started an instagram 3 years ago where he basically lambasts modern architecture/art and got a million followers from it. he stole our bit and got rich from it
>>24794063Literacy rates aren't plummeting and romantasy doing well is just a trend, like cozy mysteries or erotica or doorstopper fantasyif you don't want to follow a trend than don't lol. it's not hard. a trend means it's doing better than average or expected, it doesn't mean it's the only way to be successful. in fact there are plenty of opportunities during a trend to capture the people tired of it, or to get on board a new trend that fits more what you're hoping to do.just do what you're good at. the advice has been the same since time immemorial.
>>24794452This is the only good advice. You got to treat it like a business idea. It doesn't mean you have to sell out and appeal to the masses, you just need an idea of what market you want to appeal to and how to capitalise on it.
>>24794073Hair is nice, mustache does looks like shit though
>>24794063You make romanceslop for women or self-helpslop for dumb teenagers raised by millennials.
>>24794063I write fantasy as a hobby, put my book on Amazon last month and have about 60 sales so far. About 42-45 of those came from making Reddit posts about my book, 9 came from selling in person to acquaintances and friends, and maybe 5 came from other ads and people on Royal Road who bought the e-book to show support.The trick is to form a platform, but I don't want to do that. So hopefully I can find a big booktokker to send a copy to in exchange for a shoutout
>>24796120Shit this guy sold 40 books, he's a fucking tycoon.
