>make a living off writing smut for commissions. >can't tell my family about it (2024)

Can you give me any tips? I want to write smut fics on Ao3 as a hobby but while I have the horny brain, typing it out is hard.

Not being OP, what [...] said is mostly true.
I would go so far as to say using AI is probably feasible to make money off it. As long as no one finds out.
It matters little what you write, it's mostly ESL reading it. But as to your question, it helps to have a method/mold that you can repeat ad nauseum. It won't be hard to give it just a little push to make what you write better than the rest of the trash on AO3.

That said, it's no more varied or fulfilling than working in a slaughterhouse. I don't do it. Writing some uninspired nameswapped smut every day/few day is more than I can stomach.

Sites to get started? I enjoy writing and wanna make some money on the side.

bros I am desperate. How do I get into this? I am 30yo with no job and no savings. I am borderline unemployable but I can write this sh*t like no tomorrow. I dont need a lot of money to survive so even just a couple hundred bucks a month will do it for me. I have so many erotica story ideas ready to go. I will write anything that isnt based on some anime or existing lore or something, from tame incest to scat, I will do it all. Im just so fricking desperate.
