Following up on this post: https://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst39223_Erotica-Readership-Survey-please-take.aspx

I've spent the last few days picking over the spreadsheet data and breaking down responders into a few different groups (Free Readers and Buying Readers - with the subset of Free-to-Buy readers). I then analyzed specifics about each of them (Age, gender, correlations, etc).

I've written up a blog post that sort of grazes over a few things here and there and gives the link to the survey (if you haven't taken it) and to the findings that I've compiled (in a PDF file). You can download the findings file and read at your leisure. It's very image heavy as I favor graphs - be warned smile

This is a direct link to the file if you'd rather not read the blog: http://judycanter.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/results-of-2014-erotica-readership-survey1.pdf

215 people were analyzed initially - though now the survey has continued to spread and gain traction (over 300 have responded at this point). I know that this is actually relatively small given that the larger your survey pool the more accurate the results. But at this point it's out of my hands. I never intended it to get near as many responses. I'll just analyze data over time as it piles up.

Thanks for asking smile

115 more people have taken the survey (I was wanting 200 more to take it before I crunched numbers again). But at last look nothing's changed much - I might run the numbers again in a month regardless.

I'm needing to spread this around some more - a few authors have books coming out in the next months and have agreed to include the link to the survey blogpage in their back-matter. That should help.

I've decided to let the survey stay open for 6 months. So that takes it 'til February. Depending on the results - I might keep it open longer.
