How to set up an APT repository?

I hope I have more success here then I had anywhere else. I'd like to create a repository to host my software (ex. packages.linuxmint.com or moonOS linuxfreedom).

I have already tried a PPA. It is just not for me because it doesn't offer what I am looking for. I need a real repo.

How can I make a repository that will work with APT? Also, I don't believe a "local" or "private" repo is what I'm looking for. I want it to be so that anyone can use it :)

You need to do two things (I think). Firstly, create a local repository. The steps for doing this are already well documented (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal).

Then, place the folder structure for this repository in a public directory on a web server, make the folder structure public, and have users update their software sources or /etc/apt/sources.list file with an entry to point to the repository on your file server.
