My First Writing Project what now?

I have created a writing Project for some time and have hired a bot developer to help me out on the Discord Server in which the Project will happen.

Just that till now it has been I think already like 4 Months I have not found a single person who wants to take part in it…

It's quite demotivating plus it’s my first writing Project.

Not saying that it might be bad, it’s more that I have no idea how to promote it. Like how do you promote a writing Project in general?

I went around different Subreddits and websites to ask around and invite them, but I noticed that most went down to me now needing to get people interested in my Project.

To start marketing it in that sense, but most Reedits, and Platforms are strictly against self-promoting, even if it is a writing Project. Like where the fuck do you go now?

Do you like, slip it into the dm like. “Hey, got a cool writing Project, with an interactive Universe. Including different timely events as writing prompts and an overlapping Storytelling, making it possible to let another writer play with your Story.”

This is still too long for my taste and who reads through all of that.

That and the Project itself is a half a year of work, making it kinda complicated to summarize but easy to take part in.

As all the things one needs to do, is to apply and then read through the rules.

There is already a complete guide and instruction to the how and why of the Project.

Not forgetting all the written instruction and introduction over at my Discord with steps on the how and the lore behind it.

Now what would be the best way to start???

Or just how???

I’m at the point in which I’m just taking all the promotions I have written and combining them as a Book of themselves, as they are a bunch of work. With almost 0 feedback and interest gathered.

Now I need to become a writer to create a writing Project???

XD

Without mentioning of course, the groundwork of it all, is my Passion Project called Arechnocadia:

Which in itself is already a different horse and also has like 0 interests gathered in the last 2 Years now.

All falling down to me not knowing how to market. I feel a sort of connection there.

To summarize how do you tell the word that something exists. How do you tell it? Hey look that’s my passion Project if interested check it out or hey look that’s my writing project come check it out?

Every time I tell a single person about it feels like I’m harassing them, as it feels like it should be done completely differently, but also, I do not have any example of something similar in my day-to-day life. Like I myself do not get any promotion about a writing contest or Project and I do not see any big shoutouts or self-promotion.

So, if I do not see them, they either don’t exist or I’m just not in the right field to see them.

So many questions but no answers AHHHHHHH!!!!

WHAT AM I MISSING XD?
