Are we allowed to include info about our website at the beginning or the end?

[FinleyReed]

I'd like to start building up a fan base for my work. Am I allowed to put something in there that says my author name and website to learn more?

Only links to Lit are allowed in stories.

 

[Hypoxia]

Any non-LIT URLs embedded in a story will be removed by LIT's warez. You can link to your website in your profile.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Put that link to your website in your sig here in the forums.

That kinda sucks considering the writers generate all of the content for free. I wish there would be more of a mutually beneficial system set up.

PM Laurel (LIT's owner-operator) with your suggestions. Good luck.

Literotica enforces a code of conduct that has a zero tolerance for beastiality,
pedophilia & rape.


It would be reckless to allow links in stories to autonomous sites out of there sphere of influence. The action of allowing a link would be a defecto endorsement of your independent policies.

Which means your free to pull your stories and publish then somewhere else.

Put it in your forum sig and in your bio. If people are enjoying your work, they'll follow it back to your profile, and in turn find your website. I see the referrals from here in my traffic stats all the time.

That's also something you can update, in the event you have to change your website URL or something. It's a laborious process to do that in posted stories.

You can't get any more mutually beneficial system.

You write for free. Lit publishes and distributes it for free. It cost you nothing. It cost Lit thousands per month, though they do have revenue as well.

Try your own website some time, and you'll appreciate all you have to do here is write.

Own website...not a real big problem. Even a 65 year old man can do it. In fact I have 2 of them. It's easy, unless you want to sell them yourself, which I think is rather foolish, when there are Smashwords and Amazon, plus a host of others.

Your website is just a place holder for links to wherever you want to redirect the user. That's what mine do. Why pay big bucks for the store software when Smashwords already has that software. As does Amazon.

You mean, like a Co-Operative structure ?
Nice idea,, but. . . .

Good Luck

It isn't even possible to compare managing a web site like Lit with a canned blog site which basically just gives you access to a couple of webpages in a larger website.

I had a relatively large website for 6 years dealing with electronics. I spent 4 hours a week just repairing rotten outside links! Mine was nowhere near as complex or busy as Lit.

I was addressing the OPs apparent inappreciation of what he gets for free here. It must be of value to writers because many stay here long term and some post hundreds of stories.

Post to your web site only then. Leave Lit out of it. You only have one story here and it's from 2013. I doubt Lit would give your personal site much publicity anyway.

I realize that...and my sites aren't canned blogs...take a look, the links are in my sig.

The only time I have to make a change is when I add a published work to Smashwords or Kindle Store and that's just adding entries to the database.
