Technically, the Smutlancers site went on an indefinite hiatus at the end of December 2021. But I also needed to finish the year’s revenue reports. It would have felt like something was left undone and incomplete. An uncrossed-off item on my to-do list, if you will. I don’t know if I’ll bring back the Smutlancers site or community in the future. For right now, I feel like I’ve done as much as I can and want to do. That being said, the site will remain up and active for anyone who needs the resources and info. But for now, let’s...

November felt busier than the numbers suggest but I’m also finding that product-based businesses don’t just take more money and space (for inventory). They also take a lot more time. Unlike writing an article – granted there’s research, writing, and editing time – product-based businesses need time for making the product, promoting the product, and packing/shipping. Content creation just isn’t the same, in terms of time, at all. And yet, I love it, and I can’t wait to do more of it. Kayla Lords, Sex Writer My freelance work is picking up in a manageable way.

October was a busy month in many ways. A lot going on in my personal life, some big decisions being made, new projects starting (that aren’t related to sex or kink), and a definite increase in our revenue. Overall, it was a good month, and while I might be impatient to get back to previous income levels, I won’t complain about what was accomplished this month, either. Take a look.
