There are several guys here, besides Roosh, who have published EBooks in the Manosphere. I'm really interested to hear about how you guys have done with this.

Forney and Captain Capitalism are doing okay, I think, mostly because they have multiple titles. One title is simply not enough as a self-published author unless it goes viral, which is unlikely.

It's fine to write one book for the hell of it, but if you want consistent income, you must keep writing, and never stop.

If you want to "get rich", you'll have to go the internet marketer route with the video sales letter and such, but your audience will be, for a lack of a better word, idiots. There is always money to be made for the magic pill audience, but you won't find these in these parts.

Roosh - what are your long term plans? Do you ever see yourself settling down with a 9-5 job?

Roosh you've got to be the most sucessful manosphere author out there As far as being an internet entrepeneur goes, you seem like a successful case. Yet you seem very frugal and minimal in your spending.

I know you probably don't want to do it, but would you be able to live comfortably in say, Paris or Barcelona, on your online income?

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling

I lived in more expensive cities than that: Reykjavik and Copenhagen. And my income was lower then. Thankfully, the cities that possess the women I desire are quite affordable.

@ germanico unfortunately its yearly : ( uncle roosh, you have to be putting up some decent amazon associates money.....i want to get 2 more books out there and try to earn 5-10k a year between book sales and associates. Associates is guaranteed money, even my parents are throwing me commissions when they buy stuff..

Somewhat offtopic, but does Roosh or anyone else have advice on how to remain anonymous when starting a redpill/dating/manosphere blog?

Is it even advisable to try to remain anonymous?

Obviously Roosh's identity is public and he's written articles saying that he likes that his identity was revealed. What would you recommend for a new writer who isn't established (in terms of remaining anonymous or not)?

Just use a pseudo name. Advisable if HR Cunts have any say over your life.

Dusty is correct, and unfortunately it hurts blog traffic and book sales.....but if your 9 to 5 pays you 70k and your blog makes you 2k then you dont have a choice...i think "vivalamanosphere" is a genious site...no risk and good traffic

Its still good money.

The manosphere, or whatever you want to call it, is too niche. You'll never be able to make serious money from just one book.

Post: #17

I'm going to copy and paste all my posts here and sell as a book. How much would you guys pay?

Post: #18

Through what site do you guys sell your ebooks? I have an idea of my own, not mansphere related don't worry about competition, curious as to how to set things up. Sounds like a great side project. Writing is a good thing in and of itself.... Any extra cash would be a great bonus
