If you're going to write satire... AI is not very good at creative writing like that- try finding your own style! You may surprise yourself.

Books are a hard sell. Think about it. You need to get someone to spend their time, lots of time, reading a book they have very little knowledge about. You have to convince them that its worth their time. You do that though promotion and trust. It takes time and hard work. Most authors, by a long shot, don't make money from a book , specifically their first. It takes lots of promotion and time to get started as an author.

The author of The Martian gave away the book for years before it caught on and made money for him and that book is outstanding.

Writing is a career not a one time book. Even then, it's a hard career to make a living at. Many people use books to express their ideas as a way to improve their true career. Think politicians that are running for office. Or people that want to improve their resume.

You need to continue to promote your book and hope it catches on. Think of it as a hobby until you can turn it into a career.

Also, if you tell me it's written by AI, I automatically think it's not something I want to read. I can get any LLM to write stuff to read. I don't need to buy a book. Use AI to help you but use your own style and words to write something people want to read. People are writing books written by AI by the thousands. You need to standout in that crowded market place. Good luck.

The Reddit commenter nailed it - community first, product second. But there's a timing thing people miss.

You can't speedrun trust. I've been building software tools for accountants and spent months just answering questions in bookkeeping forums before anyone even knew I made anything. No links, no mentions, just being useful. Eventually someone asks "what do you do?" and the conversation happens naturally.

The 5.3K views means the topic resonated. The zero sales means they didn't trust you yet. That's not fixable with better marketing copy - it's a relationship problem.

For your next project: pick one community, show up consistently for 3-6 months, share your actual process (failures included), and let people watch you figure things out. By launch time you won't need to convince strangers - you'll have 50 people who already know your work.

The Substack/email thing works but only if you're already interesting to someone. Cold signups don't convert either.

Why would anyone pay for a book written by an llm?

Seems like you already received plenty of good advice. It's time for you to move on.

There is a saying "Every author has a million words worth of crap in them." Have you written a million words?

Writing is a hard business. If you aren't willing to write the first five books just for yourself why bother? Selling 5000 copies is a bar very few books meet.

If someone wants to read slop they can just generate their own.

why would anyone bother to read a book nobody bothered to write?
