How I turned Reddit posting into a $7.9k side project

2 failed projects without a single sale. Then suddenly, $471 in first month from a 3rd try.
That’s how MediaFa.st finally started to click.

It’s a tool I built to help founders grow on Reddit with a roadmap, that tells you WHEN to post/comment, WHERE, HOW and WHAT. You also get additional side features, like scheduling posts, tracking karma, badges as a reward, other socials (beta), and organizing content strategies - kind of like Buffer, but Reddit-native.

What worked?

• Niching down to Reddit & Linkedin (instead of doing all platforms at once)

• Talking to early users, learning what they actually wanted and doing it then FAST

• Letting the product sell itself via Reddit posts (yep, it’s self-referential)

Now I’m at ~$1.5k MRR with almost $8k ARR, and it’s growing. I’m still solo, and it’s 100% bootstrapped.

Ask me anything, happy to share growth strategies, Reddit tactics, or product lessons!

P.S in advance to your questions, ALL roadmaps are based on my knowledge and real exp, NOT AI flop!
