Where would you advertise a photo book on artistic nude photography?
Tips and Tricks

I have my first book online and I am aware that, simply by having it lie on a Blurb server, it won’t be sold.

Being European, I am accustomed to public nudity and so producing and speaking about a book on artistic nude photography is nothing I am embarrassed about.

I am under the impression though that Americans have more problems with that. I was looking into online classifieds to be able to let people know about my book. However, many websites explicitly don’t allow any "adult" content to be advertised. Why ?

Where would you suggest  to put ads for my book online, for the US market?

Do you other people only make books for friends and relatives, or to you also try to sell to "unknown" people? How/where do you advertise in such a case?

How many books have you sold?
General Interest

Hi everyone, my forst post here…. 

I’ve uploaded my first book 2 weeks ago and it has sold 2 copies so far (no idea to whom…). It’s a short (40p.) photobook of semi-nudes in blue jeans. What do I read in previous posts that there is no markup for non-US Blurbarians? Is that already old news? It seems to me that I could markup the books and generate a profit, and I  expect the first check already… 

 I’m now working on another photo book with nudes, documenting my experiments with what I call "LightPainting" in the years 2006 – 2008. Of course I hope that sells too …
