How I got 200 users in 1 month, using Reddit

This won't be a long-winded post but a more actionable post, so you can go straight to using Reddit for growth.

First off My product is an AI Newsletter (https://aiwithvibes.beehiiv.com/) its funny and informative AF!

Before we go into it, make sure you have a good product.

Now let's get to it

I don't need to explain how crazy Redditors can be but also remember one thing they are human! well except if you are marketing to troll subreddits lol

First things first, Choose 5 to 10 subreddits, I suggest somewhere in the middle cause you'll still end up scrapping a few.

When I got my list, I took extracts from my newsletter and posted them on the subreddits I chose, then at the end, I add a link to my newsletter, and now I didn't tell them to subscribe. Instead, I told them to read more there.

How can you use this for your non-newsletter product?
Simple
Write something educational or news in your industry, fun fact news will work more than something educational on Reddit, cause it drives conversations in the comments.

Then at the end don't tell them to check your product out, no tell them to either Act on the news with your product or tell them "This was from Your Product name and link" plus one point if you have a custom page for that news, so you can keep it relevant to the audience.

With this I was able to get consistently 150+ upvotes posts, there was a point where I got those kinda posts 4 days back to back.

After you start posting you'll see subs that do well, most likely just 2 or 3, hyper-focus on those ones then cross-post to the rest, just for the sake of it.

With this tactic, you're guaranteed to get users and fun facts employees at big companies use Reddit, I've gotten people from Google, Dell, DoNotPay, Cohere, and more from Reddit.

If you for questions I'm willing to answer, please upvote as well
