Give me a subreddit and I'll show you what kinds of content performs best in the community

Hey folks! I'm the maker of GummySearch, a customer research toolkit for Reddit.

I just made a new tool to see what kinds of content performs in a given subreddit. Would love your help in testing it out!

If you post to Reddit to promote your business, give me your subreddit and I'll give you a report with:

  • most upvoted/commented post types
  • best day/time to post
  • kinds of flair/keywords that perform better

      Pretty small and low-volume sub. Honestly it seems like whatever you post, you're getting 2 upvotes. You might want to check out these podcasting subreddits instead.

    Nice! Let's see this one: r/wearethemusicmakers

      1. 1

        Nice work!!! the posting insights section is gold, thanks for sharing!

  2. 2

    Let's see:)

    r/programming
    r/linux

    1. 1

      Here's the performance report for r/programming and r/programming summary. Unfortunately there's no flair insights as those aren't used, but some interesting insights on the titles & timing.

      Here's the r/linux summary, and performance report. This sub is super moderated, here are some of the moderation insights.

      1. 1

        Nice reports, thank you!

  3. 2

    This is awesome, and your site is gorgeous! How about r/SampleSize/?

    1. 1

      Thank you :)
      Here's the r/samplesize summary and performance report. Also, seems the demographic tag is important to not get moderated out.

      1. 1

        This is an incredible service you built! I'll be sharing GummySearch with my group!

        1. 1

          Thank you so much! Let met know if you try it and have any questions/ideas for me!

    👉 r/Wordpress
    👉 r/ProWordPress

        Thanks a ton, Fed. It would really help me figure out what type of content is performing when posting.

        Further, I would like to mention that the tool is super amazing for audience research but as an Indian dev It feels really costly paying 1980 INR per month. It would be great if you introduce parity pricing so that we can leverage the benefits. Just a thought 😊

        1. 1

          It's a good idea, and I might do so at some point.
          In the meantime, if you want to use the tool but the pricing doesn't work, please DM me on Twitter and we can figure something out for you specifically

          1. 1

            Thanks for the prompt Fed, I'll connect with you on Twitter in a while.

    Great tool!
    Would love to see r/Writing and r/EntrepreneurRideAlong

  6. 1

    Can you do one for /r/UXDesign

      1. 1

        Fantastic, thank you

  7. 1

    /r/LeadGeneration/

      Small sub with low reach, and highly moderated. You're probably better off posting in r/sales!

      1. 1

        Can you please tell me about sales sub reddit?

  8. 1

    r/cscareerquestions and r/startups. Thanks!

      1. 1

        Very nice! Any thoughts on the commenting angle? I'm trying to grow my funnel by just being helpful to people who need it. I don't know if posting makes as much sense because I don't want to just be spamming with my stuff.

        1. 1

          Personally I comment a lot more than I post. Replying to relevant posts is one of the main features of GummySearch, and I write about how to do so here.

          The performance insights is a new report that I'm testing because a few people asked for it, but if you want to try the social listening features in GummySearch, those are quite built out!

    Very cool! Just signed up and ready to play with it now.

    One thing, though: It didn't every reveal my own subreddit that's exactly spot-on the search terms I used:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/digitaltabletop/

    I was searching "Board games" and "tabletop" and "digital". Lots of smaller subs shows up, but not mine. Any thoughts? Is there something wrong with the SEO of the sub?

  10. 1

    /r/ecommerce
    /r/shopify

    Really curious to see these both! Super interesting product.

  11. 1

    what about /r/chocolate?

  12. 1

    How about /r/nerf please. I'm trying to promote something there.

  13. 1

    r/OpenAI

    Curious because I'm developing an AI API

    1. 1

      One of the fastest-growing Subreddits right now!
      Here's the r/OpenAI summary page and the performance report

    If you plan on posting/marketing in a particular subreddit, I built this a while back to help people write post titles that are more likely to succeed in a subreddit.

    https://postparrot.xyz

    1. 1

      I like the simplicity! Does it have support for other social media sites?

      And if you're ok answering, are you running GPT-3 under the hood? Or is it an AI you trained yourself?

      1. 1

        It doesn't support other sites yet currently but the idea was to add more if I can ever find time to circle back to it. What social media sites would you use it for?

        I'm a frontend by trade so it is absolutely GPT-3 under the hood. I did come up with, what I think is a cool technique for interacting with GPT-3 to produce the titles though.

        1. 1

          For other social media sites, I think most would use for twitter or linkedin.

          I would imagine most are using this for business purposes, so linkedin might be a little more popular. But then again, most linkedin interactions are not posts.

          Which GPT-3 model are you using?

          I mainly ask because I'm currently building an AI API that allows you to run BLOOM on the cloud (open source GPT-3 alternative). It'll have cheaper pricing with only a slight reduction in quality compared to the Davinci model.

          It's still WIP, but if you're curious, you can check out the discord: https://discord.gg/DsJXxcMmkC or my Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRealEtch

    Would love to see what works in r/HireaWriter

  16. 1

    Wowww! What about /r/Startups🤔?

    1. 1

      Here's the r/startups summary, and performance report. Also, SUPER moderated sub, with 71% of posts automatically removed. However, seems like those that make it past the mods perform pretty well!
