One mistake I see constantly:
Founders join Reddit…
and immediately start promoting their product.
That’s usually the fastest way to get ignored.
Reddit works differently.
People trust contributors, not advertisers.
Before posting anything promotional, smart founders spend time:
✔ Understanding the subreddit culture
✔ Commenting on existing discussions
✔ Building credibility naturally
This creates trust before the first post even goes live.
The goal isn’t just visibility.
It’s visibility from people who actually care about what you’re building.
That’s the difference between random traffic and targeted traffic.
If you want help finding the right subreddits, building credibility, and posting the right way, I help founders do this every day.
