I helped founders with Reddit and made $17k out of it

So, long story short, i shipped MediaFa.st 10 months ago

Why did I build it? I struggled with Reddit, got banned six times, and had zero traffic from it So I decided to build a system around it once I learned how Reddit really works

The main idea is simple: keep Reddit clean and help people grow here organically.

MediaFast creates 30-day roadmaps with daily tasks, like “post here today about this topic,” “comment there tomorrow,” and so on

It’s not GPT junk like you might think. It runs on a complex backend prompt system with a fine-tuned model, so the results are completely different and much more accurate

What it does for new users:
• Generates an initial growth roadmap so you can start safely without getting banned

What it does for experienced users:
• Builds a more aggressive plan for faster growth

It finds the best subreddits for your product, defines your ideal posting strategy, analyzes data from those subs, and tells you the best posting times and days.

It also includes fun stuff like badges, a scheduler, warm up options, daily email reminders, and an account sync that tracks your karma and puts you on the leaderboard (with backlinks)

My goal is to keep Reddit clean, avoid AI spam, and help founders share real products that bring value :)

So far, 190 users joined, and it made around $17K in the past 10 months, which isn’t bad

Next, I’m working on a live assistant that gives tips as you follow your roadmap!
