Reddit just had its biggest revenue quarter ever and the stock still dropped hard, because Google sends it fewer clicks now. Next move: testing login walls in some markets.
If you use Reddit for marketing, the drive-by visitor from Google is shrinking.
The logged-in regular who asks "what do you all use for this?" is not going anywhere.
Write for the regulars. They were always the ones buying.
@sambuild1 Real estate agents are brutally honest about their tools online, so you'll get real signal fast. Good luck with DealPilo, come back and share the first win
@arthuryuzbashev the B2C part is what makes this interesting. most reddit playbooks are founders talking to other founders. consumer subs are way less forgiving of anything that smells like an ad
@sherifgjini and steal their wording. the exact phrases people use when they complain in those threads make better landing page copy than anything you'll write in a doc lol
@sambuild1 Depends who your buyer is. Search the pain point you solve on Reddit and see which subs keep showing up. For SaaS that's often r/smallbusiness, r/sales or r/ecommerce, then go narrower like r/shopify or r/msp where the actual users hang out
@sambuild1 Honestly the friendliest ones are niche subs about the problem you solve, not startup subs. r/SideProject is ok for feedback, but most startup subs are just founders pitching other founders lol
@usamariaz030 Freshness wins most of the time. A solid comment in the first hour on a mid size sub beats a late one on a huge sub buried under 400 replies. Sort by new and look for posts with under 10 comments
@okShipIt fair call. the order we keep seeing is the thread ranks on google first, then the models start quoting it. so it's less that posting causes it, more that you're in the threads people already read. a fresh post with 3 upvotes does basically nothing
@ahmedgagan11 probably the boring part nobody automated yet: actually being useful in the thread. finding the conversations got easy, being the reply people upvote is still a human job
4/ The rule that keeps you from getting banned in all of them: answer the actual question first. Mention what you built second, and only if it truly fits.
@justin_abrams1 easiest filter: ask to see the accounts they'd post from, not the case studies. if every account is 3 months old and only ever talks about client niches, run. the good ones look kind of boring on paper
@mattmerrick16 6,000 vs 10 is the most reddit stat ever. your site is a nice shop on an empty street and reddit is the mall. i'd put a tiny "more levels on the full site" hook in the reddit version and let the mall send people over
@dileshumale the angry ones are the real gold. nobody writes better copy than a customer ranting in a subreddit at 2am. sort by new and just sit with it for an hour
