Erotic Story Revamp Part 3: Keywords Part 2
Don’t forget I’ve moved to www.cbryder.com, my new site is much cooler!! Until everyone moves I’ll be re-blogging here!
After changing the keywords the categories this title will appear in have changed, I believe a little more tweaking is needed but these results are much improved.
Here are the original categories. pretty basic and very limited.
Here are the new categories. a much better fit for the story, reaching a wider audience I hope

Erotic Story Revamp Part 3: Keywords
Please visit my new home at http://www.cbryder.com
New cover complete, new blurb added, the thing to revamp was the key words. My original keywords were something like this,
Erotica, Exhibitionism, Short Story, Public Sex, Fantasy
I think this a great example of what not to do!
First I added these key words when I went to publish the story and second I just used keywords I thought might attract attention.
The new keywords look something like these
Erotica, Bisexual threesome FFM, female pussy oral sex first time licking cunt, exhibitionism public sex voyeur doggie style, blow job giving head cock cleaning, big tits nipples blonde
I���ll keep tweaking these but the general idea is to use as many keywords as possible. My understanding is you can use up to 400 words but still only six commas.

Erotic Story Revamp Part 2: New Cover
Yesterday I also pulled��The Steam Room II��from Barnes & Noble as well as Smashwords. 24 hours later it appears that the title has been removed from all Smashwords partner sites as well.
Today, I will enroll the title in KDP Select and start reworking the blurb.

Erotic Story Revamp Part 1
I have been doing a good deal of reading and research on self publishing the last few days. I���ve come to realize how little I know!
I���m going to try something with one of my stories, The Steam Room II which has sold the least number of copies of any story.
Here is the game plan
Change the cover, this is by far my weakest cover and��while I did do the design myself I reakky don’t like it. I���m going to spend a few dollars to have someone else make a professional cover.
My book blurb sucks! I don���t know what I was thinking when I put this out but I will be redoing the blurb.
Keywords, total do over; my fund of knowledge regarding Amazon keywords is growing exponentially.
Enroll in KDP Select
I���m going to make these changes first and monitor results. After a few weeks depending on the results I might do some type of promoting. However the first portion of this revamp is the basics which I failed to grasp the first time around.

The Special Evening, Free Erotica
The Special Evening��is FREE on Amazon today. Please if you enjoy it a small review would be most appreciated!
After one day of the free promotion��The Special Evening��ranks 6,022 in the free kindle store, looks like it will take a rank in the top 2,500 to break into the Top 100 of the erotica category which is my goal. My very first story, The Steam Room��made to #40 if my memory serves me well this morning.
