Fellow smutlancer Quinn Rhodes came up with a plan to stop feeling “behind” on hir sex blog and get through burnout. Ze planned to work through the burnout — something ze quickly discovered doesn’t work, and you can’t do. Here’s hir experience.
So, you’ve got yourself a hot sex blog. You’re reaching a decent audience each month, and you’ve worked out roughly how much you should be charging to advertisers to get their shiny products and services in front of your hungry users. But so far you haven’t been inundated with emails offering you cash in exchange for your services. What gives? How do you market your sex blog to potential advertisers?
November was a good month in terms of income, revenue, and my smutlancing life. As we’re barreling towards the end of 2020 (which makes me think both, “Oh thank fucking gawd!” and “HOW?!”), a lot of plans are being made for what 2021 will look like. That’s reflected in my expenses more than anything, but there are plenty of plans that don’t involve spending (yet). Let’s jump into because there’s a lot here. November 2020 Income *A change I’ve made to this income report is to remove (or not include) income I’m not personally putting in my bank account even...
Hey Folks! Are you feeling a little burned out from 2020? If you are, you aren’t alone. I’m right there with you. I can’t speak for you, but I know for me, I’m learning that it’s important to take breaks from sex-related content. While I enjoy being in this industry, I need some time to veg out in front of the TV and find ways to recharge my internal batteries, especially during this pandemic. I used to feel guilty about feeling this way because many of my peers consume this content 24/7 and don’t seem to need a break. I’ve...

Not much stuck until I started reading and integrating ideas from Start...

I think we can all agree, this pandemic has left many of us well…not in the best frame of mind. If we’re not worried about COVID19, we’re worried about our family and friends contracting it, our finances, the works. So when it comes down to work productivity, it’s not uncommon that many of us feel like we just can’t do anything. I’ve been feeling like this since March. So much to think about and I want to write enough to fill a novel, but can’t. Or rather, not as quickly as I want to, and coming from a self-confessed perfectionist,...
