I Built an AI Bot That Posts and Sells Social Media Tools on Autopilot

I’ve been experimenting with automating niche content + product distribution using AI — not just for writing, but also for generating traffic and revenue.

The core idea: Let a bot scrape trending topics, generate SEO-optimized blog posts, post them to Blogger, and then cross-promote them via platforms like Reddit, Quora, Pinterest, and X — without me touching a keyboard.

I built it to sell simple AI-based tools (like bots for Instagram, TikTok, etc.), hosted on Gumroad and Payhip. What surprised me was:

Pinterest and Medium brought in more evergreen traffic than Reddit.

Cross-posting every hour (using rotating prompts) increases visibility without being flagged as spam.

Adding AI-generated visuals boosted click-throughs significantly.

Apify + OpenRouter combo made the whole system lightweight but powerful.

You don’t need a massive audience to make this work. Just some niche tools, good SEO, and automation.

If anyone’s interested, I’m happy to break down the full stack:

Tools used (Python, Apify, OpenRouter, Blogger API)

How I structured prompts to remain “human-like”

Mistakes I made early (Reddit bans, SERP penalties)

My traffic funnel from Blogger → Gumroad → Sale

Ask me anything — or I can share the code structure if folks want to build their own.
