Are you guys lazy, or stupid, or both?
Let's do the math:
>1 Erotic Novella (10,000 - 20,000 words) takes about 2 hours to write
>1 in every 10 Novellas will sell reasonably well ($25 per month)
>14 waking hours in a day
>A NEET can write 5 (minimum) Erotic Novellas a day
I'm not going to do the overall math here but if you are a NEET with an imagination you could easily be earning $500 minimum simply writing erotic novellas and waiting for the royalty checks to come in.
You could be living in a comfy cabin in Maine, Montana, Wisconsin etc spending your free time swimming and hiking and reading just by spending a few hours a day writing erotic novellas intended for specific markets / demographics.
Why aren't you guys doing this?
Which brings me back to my original question...
I quit my job in August 2016 and since then my royalties have been increasing gradually as some of my books are spread via word-of-mouth. I go the extra mile and create fake accounts on womens-only book club forums to promote my work and the sales are going through the roof. I could easily risk spending a month writing nothing and still earn more than enough to pay rent on the summerhouse I'm renting in Rome, Maine.

For a NEET that's actually quite a lot of work, especially when parents/irresponsible socialist govt's already provide free food, clothing, and shelter.
For me the main thing that dissuades me from trying this is the market research. I just don't want to read a dickload of shitty erotic novels and find out what sells. I don't even want to write it if it doesn't "work" for me. My dabblings in erotica have catered to my own sick fetishes and sub-fetishes, and I'm not sure how common these are in the female erotica reader demographic.

Where did you get this figure from?

1. Vampires
2. Werewolves
3. Surgeons
4. Billionaires
5. Pirates
That's all the market research you need. Legit.

i did once decide that bodice-ripper style romance novels must be incredibly easy to churn out, so i started reading one.
i couldn't get past page two. it was too dull. it was like wading through oatmeal up to your neck.

Well, since we're giving this any attention at all...

Assuming this is true, that figure doesn't mean that if you write 10 novels then you will sell one. If your writing is shit then you will sell nothing.

He kissed her gently on the left cheek, while he pulled out his penis. It was larger than average. In fact, 3 cm larger than the average of his country (15 cm). He had measured his penis earlier that day, to be sure that it was in fact 3 cm larger than the average. He was verry pleased with his penis.
She slowly undressed, while his penis was at full growth. You see, it wasn't just the length that was above average - it was thicker too. He was very pleased with it's thickness.
She lay down on the bed, while his above averege sized penis that had a slight curve upwards, flew through the room and gently penetrated the fertile woman.
The End

This is glorious. It's like Dan Brown meets Borges.
The flying penis is evocative of how Dostoyevsky's characters are constantly flying at each other, yet with a resultant gentleness not seen since the asymptotes of Wallace's tennis geometry

In all seriousness, I will say from experience that writing dirty stories at length to fill a quota is pretty soul-sucking.
