问HN：发布的关于算法的AI书籍——5,300次浏览，零销售。接下来该怎么办？
我写了两本关于算法操控的讽刺书籍（GPT-5 草稿 + Claude 编辑，完全透明）。几个月来在亚马逊上零销售。
我在 Reddit 的 r/nosurf 上发布了免费的 PDF 文件：
- 3 天内获得 5,300 次浏览
- 当天第 12 名帖子
- 主要批评：“AI 垃圾一眼可见”
- 最佳回应：对我所犯错误的详细分析
反馈归结为：我跳过了社区建设，直接进入亚马逊，没有 beta 读者，也没有早期支持者。先出版，再寻找受众。这是一种经典的反向方法。
一位评论者说：“首先找到一个社区，成为受人尊敬的成员，在写作过程中分享进展，与同水平的同行合作，然后在 50-100 人等待时再发布。”
我做了每一点的反面。
对于那些成功推出独立内容/产品（尤其是对技术系统持批评态度）的人：在 2024 年的实际路径是什么？
先使用 Substack + 邮件列表？在发布前在 Reddit/论坛上参与几个月？还是其他什么？
我并不是在寻求推广——我真心想了解这是否可以挽救，或者只是为下一个项目付出的昂贵学费。

I wrote two satirical books about algorithmic manipulation (GPT-5 drafts + Claude editing, fully transparent about it). Zero Amazon sales for months.<p>Posted free PDFs on Reddit's r/nosurf Friday:
- 5,300 views in 3 days
- #12 post of the day
- Main criticism: "AI slop instantly detectable"
- Best response: detailed breakdown of everything I did wrong<p>The feedback boiled down to: I skipped community building, went straight to Amazon, no beta readers, no early supporters. Published first, looked for audience second. Classic backwards approach.<p>One commenter said: "Find a community, become respected member FIRST, share progress during writing, collaborate with peers at your level, THEN launch when 50-100 people are waiting."<p>I did the opposite of every point.<p>For those who've successfully launched indie content/products (especially critical of tech systems): what's the actual path in 2024?<p>Substack + email list first? Reddit/forum engagement for months before launch? Something else?<p>Not looking for promotion—genuinely trying to understand if this is salvageable or expensive education for the next project.
