Doing $1k MRR on my $7/month AI marketing product, generating 60 leads everyday by using it.

Hey everyone,

This post is about how I use my Reddit Marketing AI SaaS (Promotee) to find potential customers and convert them.

After selling on Reddit for more than 2 years, I have realized that there is a very effective process that simply works. It's not a gimmick, it's nothing magic or fancy. It follows a simple principle - "Conversations bring conversions". If you are able to have conversations with right people (read potential customers) and you are effectively solving the product (aka have good product), then you get the customers.

How the process looks like ?

  1. Find the right subreddits where your potential customers hangout.
  2. Comment on posts that you find relevant or has context around your business.
  3. If you get a reply on the post, then engage with them by adding value.
  4. Take the conversation to dm or connect somewhere else.
  5. Have more chat.
  6. Propose your solution
  7. And get a paying customer.

I know it sounds simple, and to a lot of you, pretty obvious. But in retrospect, you'll realize that a lot of (I mean A LOT) founders don't do it. They either don't invest enough time in this, or don't do this right.

What my product solves?

A huge chunk of people (mostly technical) who wants to market but are not able to, basically find this task of engaging via comments boring, or they don't this useful or rewarding.

The first two steps are the ones that they really don't do. And that's exactly what Promotee solves. It is a low ticket product (just $7/month) that uses the magic of AI and your persona, to engage on Reddit by writing comments as good as you would and hence getting you replies non-stop.

Does it work?

Just in about last 4 months, more than 150 people have been using Promotee for their lead gen on Reddit and it is really crazy for them. What people like the most is the easy-to-use interface, like they do one time setup and can forget about it (like really).

On an average, people get about 7-10 leads for every account they use on Promotee. For me personally, I use it with three account and I get atleast 20 conversations (thanks to compounding) with potential customers for every account.

How many sales Promotee does by using itself?

Well, this is a good question, Promotee is one of those startups that grow by using itself. With all the demo meetings I get from Reddit, I have been able to convert about 95% of people (hence 150 customers :) ) but that's not all, because it's a low ticket product, a lot of my customers just jump in themselves without me doing anything.

Thanks for reading this, my aim with this post is to just let people who face the problem atleast get introduced to a potential solution for it.

PS: Most of people I talk to who face this problem, literally have told me that why didn't they got to know about Promotee before.

PPS: Feel free to start a discussion below with me if you have anything to ask or criticize even :)

    Looks very interesting! Would like to try it for a month, Are you giving any discount? 😜

      haha man, I already have very low margins. It's reasonable pricing

      1. 1

        Yes, it's priced well it's just me. I will give it a try later once I have enough content prepared to engage with users.

        Do you think Free trial even for 7 days would bring more potential leads? just a thought
