Is the jump from online stories to actual publishing that different?

I have been writing erotica for a long time. But all my stories are 100% online and for free. But I think that I want to start going pro or semi-pro, perhaps make a coin or two in the process.

But the jump seems to be too different from online stories. Books tend to be longer, more thought out, and have actual plots. I'm mostly a PWP writer and mostly gear it towards a male audience, while actual published erotica is female geared.

Can anyone who made the jump give a little insight on their journey? Mostly personal stuff like schedules or habit changes. I'll look into the technical stuff myself.
