Subreddit: r/WorkOnline | Upvotes: 900+
A freelancer is producing AI-narrated audiobooks for Kindle self-publishers using ElevenLabs. Each book takes 4–6 hours of work (cleaning text, generating audio, editing, mastering).

Methods That Got Downvoted (What's NOT Working)
| Method | Why Reddit is Skeptical |
|---|---|
| "I sell ChatGPT prompts for $50 each" | Market is saturated; prompts aren't defensible products |
| "AI generated blog network for ad revenue" | Google HCU is catching and deindexing these sites |
| "Bulk AI children's books on Amazon" | KDP quality filters reject most; negative reviews on survivors |
| "AI social media management bot" | Platform bans are swift; clients notice the drop in quality |
