This just sounds like blogspam to me. Why not just share the link and let it speak for itself, if you're not actually putting any original thought into what you're saying about it?

But going back to the question in your post, I suspect the reason you aren't getting paying customers is that people/companies who are reposting content across social media already have established patterns to do it and there's not a value add of switching that to your service.

Right. This could be a reason! What do you think I should do?

What's the demand and the competition? I'd reckon that people can generate garbage ("content") easily enough on their own with LLMs.

As for AI startups generally: please get rid of Google/Facebook/etc. login mandates, and, preferably, get rid of mandatory registrations altogether for demo purposes. I don't know whether there are any reliable statistics on this matter, but I'd argue that the presumed retention due to mandating registrations may prevent a larger user base from emerging.

Conntent reduces a step or two in generating content. I felt a need for this product for myself so I made it.

Yea, but why. Who is your user, and why is that something they want?

Is it businesses? Is it individuals posting for their friends?

I run a STEM page on LinkedIn & X. I have to post something STEM-related daily on them for which I search Google News for an article, open it, copy its content, and then ask ChatGPT to write an engaging LinkedIn post or Tweet for me out of it.

So I made a tool to make this task a bit simpler. I used conntent to generate my weekly newsletter yesterday. You can read it here: https://stemble.substack.com/p/indian-astronauts-embark-on-a...

To answer your question, people like me are the users.

Honest feedback: that url (not the website content, the domain name) looks like a scam and not something I’d trust with my payment data. Buy a real domain.

What's the pitch for this service? Why would I use it?

It's a simple tool that lets users generate content for various social media platforms from any online article using just its link.
