    Reddit drives 50% of my signups. Here's the exact playbook anyone can copy: 1. Find the threads • Google "best [your category] reddit" • Google "[competitor] alternatives reddit" • Look for the "what do you use for..." threads 2. Reply with help, not a pitch • Answer the question first • Provide as much value as possible • Mention your tool by name only if it actually fits 3. DM the OP after, with context • Offer to help, not sell • Reference their exact problem • No link in the first message That's it. Boring. Repeatable. Works.

    @JonathonWr27849 @TheGoblinnn he is certainly implying that he is smoking **** with pneumonia. that the pain he has had for weeks is stemming from two issues, advanced upper respiratory infection (pneumonia) and a fractured toe. you are actually illiterate, belong on reddit, and need to stfu

    The real take after weeks of building in public We've been active on reddit for a few weeks now, mostly in saas and building in public communities. What actually moved the needle: The posts where we shared a real problem we were solving, without pitching, got 10x the engagement of anything that looked promotional. our best performing post was a question asking other founders about their marketing strategies. no mention of our product at all. several people ended up finding stacks through our profile afterward. What didn't work: commenting with our link, anything that read like a press release, trying to post in communities that weren't already talking about our problem. The investor piece surprised us. a few investors found us through reddit posts and reached out directly. we weren't targeting them at all. It works if you're genuinely part of the conversation. it doesn't work if you're broadcasting into it.

    @hogsbreathvip82 @Australis_Felix Heh I responded to that post and explained how immigration is a big contributor. Haven’t checked back yet but since it’s Reddit I know it’ll have been down voted to hell, if not deleted by a mod for threatening social harmony

    @reshmushroom I'm trying to help yall for free, and they silencing me because they would lose money! They exploiting you and your kids for their profits. That's why Reddit doxxed me. Cuz I'm Jehovah's Witness, and they speaking ill of us. I try to find out why they defame us, they shut down the convo, doxxed me, defamed me, and nobody looking into it. The law don't care they ruined my life but these social media giants still operating freely destroying our youth aren't they?

    Start with people who already feel the pain. Not your friends. Not family. People who have complained about this problem publicly on @Reddit, @X, @LinkedIn, or community groups. They are already telling you they need a solution. Just show up in that conversation.

  • theAIdreamer
    iamfaheem (@theAIdreamer) reported

    @Extrastiv The pitch itself is rarely the problem. Knowing who to send it to at exactly the right moment is. The freelancers who win are not cold DMing blindly. They are watching for people who just described their exact pain on Reddit, X, or forums in the last 24 hours. That timing is the real edge. Tools like Buddyy monitor those signals across platforms so you can reach out while someone is actively looking. A great cold pitch converts way higher in that window. Would love to see the book cover the prospecting side just as deeply as the pitch itself.

    @Pirat_Nation google spent 20 years building pagerank to surface authoritative sources over random opinions. now they're embedding anonymous reddit comments directly in search results and calling it "expert advice." a reddit user with 12 karma giving camera settings is not an expert. it's a person who posted once. the deeper problem is reddit already knows this is happening and the incentive structure has shifted. subreddits are filling with SEO-optimized comments designed to appear in google's AI answers. you're watching the glorbo problem move from AI-generated articles into AI-curated user content. the noise just got promoted to the front page

    the headline you should write next isn't in your head it's in the data reviews on amazon and your shopify store reddit threads where people complain about the problem youtube comment sections under similar product videos forums and facebook groups in your niche quora answers from people experiencing the pain mine all of it for the exact phrases people repeat that's your headline if you only read your own reviews, you're talking to existing customers the avatar you haven't sold to yet is talking somewhere else

    Microsoft killed Gaming Copilot 14 months after launch. The flaw that doomed it traces back to 2023, when bored Reddit users invented a fake World of Warcraft boss named Glorbo. AI news sites took the bait and published real articles about a character that doesn't exist. Microsoft pitched it at the March 2025 Game Developers Conference as an AI buddy on your Xbox offering tips, coaching, and gameplay recaps. Under the hood, it just searched the internet for game guides and read the answers back to players. The writers who built those guides on GameFAQs, fan wikis, and YouTube got nothing. No credit, no traffic, no revenue. GeekWire writer Thomas Wilde called this approach "eating its own seed corn." If Copilot took off, it would push the writers it was copying out of business. No new guides means no fresh content for the AI to copy. The well runs dry. The prank had already exposed the flaw. Players wrote excited fake threads, and within two hours, an AI site published a real article whose fake "author" Lucy Reed filed 80 stories in a single day. Anyone could feed in nonsense; the system treated it as news. Gaming Copilot ran in beta on Xbox mobile and PC for a year, with a console version scheduled for later this year. Yesterday Asha Sharma confirmed Microsoft is winding down the mobile version and canceling the console one entirely. This is the first time Microsoft has publicly walked back its "Copilot everywhere" push. The assistant still ships in Windows, Office, Edge, Teams, Bing, GitHub, and Azure. All workplace products. The consumer-facing version was the first to die. What replaces it is quieter. AutoSR, a tool using AI to make lower-quality game graphics look sharper. Better game suggestions inside the Xbox storefront. The model works invisibly in the background. The financial pressure made the call easier. Xbox hardware revenue dropped 33% last quarter. Gaming revenue fell from $5.7 billion to $5.3 billion year over year. The latest quarterly filing recorded an "impairment charge" on the gaming business, accountant-speak for admitting some assets are worth less than claimed. Revenue has declined in four of the past six quarters. Sharma also brought four CoreAI executives onto her team. Jared Palmer for engineering. Tim Allen for design. Jonathan McKay for growth. Evan Chaki for internal tooling. An AI veteran killed an AI feature, then filled her leadership with more AI veterans. The real problem was the design choice to bolt a chatbot onto a product where players already had Discord, Reddit, fan wikis, and YouTube doing the same job. The lesson reaches beyond Xbox. Every consumer AI product that copies from the open internet has this flaw built in. Kill the source, and the model has nothing left to learn from. Glorbo was a warning. Microsoft acted on it three years late.

    @rashiumapathi Most SaaS founders fail on Reddit not because they posted too much but because they showed up to take before they gave anything. The trust deficit is the whole problem and no growth hack closes it faster than just being genuinely useful first.

  • ThinkAppraiser
    think like a real estate appraiser (@ThinkAppraiser) reported

    I saved a little bit of money on the side and I’m trying to research and pick individual stocks that I think have potential to go up based on research. I’ve read on Reddit and here on X. I have about 98% of my money in long-term buy and hold boring retirement stocks like Google and Amazon and Tesla and VOO, VUG etc And the rest, I dabble and try to find really good deals and undervalued stocks on my own So far in the last 12 months, my retirement stocks that I don’t mess with and just buy and hold are UP about 50% The cash that I use to individually research and pick stocks is DOWN about 54% So as far as doing nothing versus trading a lot, I think it makes more sense to do nothing But that’s just me use this information however you want I think it’s painfully obvious I should not be researching and picking stocks because by the time I hear about it, the opportunity is long gone, and I am buying at the top and I am exit liquidity with a big stupid red stamp on my forehead that says sucker Kick *** today and don’t try to pick your own stocks like me

    @slowlearer @gainstignorant @reddit_lies Problem is some of the most valuable Reddit comments of all time were replaced by lorem ipsum a few years back when the API was getting the plug pulled and some of the biggest tech wizard autists left for good and used a comment scrambler before they left in protest, and now Discord has replaced what Reddit used to be for a lot of these topics and that renders all the info unindexed by the internet at large. Haven’t tried any A B testing myself but I wouldn’t be surprised if an LLM that was trained on data from before that event simply has better info than can be currently pulled via a web search in many cases.

  • TaiTechSolution
    Taiwo Oladosu (@TaiTechSolution) reported

    @rkarre566 @tibo_maker You’re already ahead of most founders just by doing that first 👍 Most people rush into posting links, then assume Reddit “doesn’t work” when the real issue was timing + positioning. Once you spend enough time observing, you start noticing: • recurring problems • language patterns • what gets engagement • and the exact moments where a product mention feels natural instead of forced That’s usually where traction starts compounding.

    This Reddit user made $412k in 3 years and walked away with $0 Here's the honest breakdown every founder needs to see: 1/ What it cost to run > infrastructure and tools: $67,000 (AWS, Stripe, subscriptions) > contractor dev work: $134,000 (no cofounder, outsourced everything) > marketing experiments: $48,000 (ads, agencies, content plays) > legal and accounting: $23,000 (incorporation, contracts, taxes) > his own living expenses: $140,000 (~$3,900/month for 3 years) 2/ Why he shut it down > peak MRR hit $18k. then the ceiling became visible. > breaking through required capital he didn't want to raise > for a market he wasn't excited about anymore > so he shut it down cleanly. helped every customer migrate. no bridges burned. 3/ What he actually walked away with > 3 years of operator-level learning you can't buy anywhere > customers who still remember him and reach out > a portfolio piece that kept opening doors
