You are literally responding to
> I really don't know if it'll have an audience
- red-iron-pine 4mo agothe problem is finding an audience with reading comprehension
- ishouldstayaway 4mo agoYou're telling me.
- saaaaaam 4mo agoIndeed! It appears the person you are responding to skipped over a bunch of stuff and so missed my response which was “you need to market your book, not just write it”.
- mihaic 4mo agoSure, I've been a start-up founder before, I know the trap of "if you build it, they will come". It's just that AI is evolving so fast that book do seem like the market for vinyl (as the article said). No amount of marketing can help you out is your entire market is shrinking daily. Shriking markets are also not won by quality. The more competition, the more marketing then becomes the main thing, and you also need to alter the book in the process so that it fits the bite-sized pills you can push on most channels, or worse change it so much for the audience until it becomes something else entirely.

- saaaaaam 4mo agoYes. And my response was “market your book”.
- ishouldstayaway 4mo agoAnd the part you didn't understand is that all the marketing in the world won't matter if the audience barely - or doesn't - exist.
- saaaaaam 4mo agoOk! Thanks for educating me.
