Using Photo Sites to Grow Your Audience

As a nude model and a photographer of male nudity, I have always found it challenging to find web sites where I can share my photography and promote my blog. If you take into account how much nudity you can find online, you may find it hard to believe that there is a problem at all. The problem is not finding a venue to share nude photography. The problem is finding the right venue that attracts the right type of people back to your blog. There is no lack of porn and porn sites, but you should probably find better...

Figuring Out Who Your Audience Is

In a recent group chat for Smutlancers community members (through Patreon — you do know about our Smutlancers Patreon, right?!?!), we got into a discussion about figuring out your audience. The idea being that once you know who consumes your content, you can create more content geared to them and keep them coming back. I think there are two ways to look at this. Content, Then Audience This, I think, is the path most sex bloggers and those who create very personal content take. It’s less a path and more a happy accident. You write or record what feels right...

3 Ways to Get More Views on Your Sex Blog

Getting views to your sex blog — or any website — is essentially a numbers game. And while I advocate making content the focus of building an audience and increasing your views, there are other ways to do it. None of these are “hacks” designed to decrease creating damn good content on your sex blog. Your first and top priority should be the content you create — whether you’re writing or not. These methods (platforms, actually) are tools that many of us think belong to the “vanilla” (non-sex writing) world, when we can definitely use them, too. In order for...

How to Build Relationships with Your Readers

Relationships matter in everything we do. Without good working relationships, day jobs are miserable. A bad relationship – romantic, parental, friend – wreaks havoc on our confidence and mental health. The rapport you build with people can open up new opportunities in life, make connections with strangers, and move your goals forward. Writing about sex is inherently personal. When you build relationships with your readers, you create a connection that can change lives. Once you decide that you want to take your ability to write and connect and turn it into income, relationship building becomes even more important. Without readers,...

Why Relationships Matter as a Sex Blogger and Writer

The online world is a strange place. You can be whoever you want to be. Use a sexy avatar that looks nothing like you. Create a fake name. Say you’re from anywhere in the world. Anonymity is (mostly) yours if you want it. Even as sex bloggers and writers, we can be whoever we want to be. Some writers personify their characters. Others create entire personalities out of nothing but their deepest desires. It’s hard to know who’s real and who isn’t. All we have, as writers, are our words and our deeds. I feel fairly confident in saying we’ve...
