Why Reddit?
(1) Google now promotes Reddit on the top of the SERP for ALOT of long tail search terms.

(2) OpenAI, etc. train on Reddit data, so you will get generative search benefits too.

(3) People go to Reddit to get honest and transparent advice on software to buy, etc. (and even search for "keyword + Reddit" on Google). They are tired of sponsored blog post and AI content.

Here are 5 ways on how to use Reddit for growth:

• Find relevant subreddits: needs to (A) contain your ideal customer + (B) be large enough if you are creating posts (at least 50K members).

• Become a contributor: start to build karma. Start out upvoting + commenting, and finally go into posting once you figure things out. Tailor your posts to the specific subreddits to be hyper relevant and bring value.

• Use an alert tool + build keyword list: Commenting on relevant posts that mention problems, questions, and competitors in your space, is one of the most efficient ways to get leads. Finding those can either (A) be done manually, by searching on a weekly basis using the built-in search bar), or (B) using an automated tool. Build a keyword list out as you go.

• Creating viral posts: Posting can get you a crazy amount of views if you do things right - and put you (and your startup) in the center of the conversation. 4 types of posts that works well:
  (i) the relatable post
  (ii) the guide post
  (iii) the conversation starter
  (iv) the story post.

Gear up, follow the rules, and take your shot: Focus on delivering 95% value and 5% subtle promotion of your brand. Avoid direct links, spam, or corporate jargon. Write authentically, like a real person, and prioritize transparency. Offer meaningful value first, then naturally introduce your brand. Whether in a comment or the main post.

Great founders spend their time (a) engaging with users and (b) building their product. Reddit is the perfect platform for (a) sparking conversations, gathering feedback, and understanding your target audience. Dive in, contribute genuinely, and grow your Startup.
