Reddit hate marketers!?

Marketing on Reddit can be a tricky task, similar to navigating a minefield. It's a platform where authenticity is king and anything that smells of self-promotion will be met with the disdain of its 330 million monthly active users.
Imagine trying to sell ice to an eskimo, but instead of ice, it's your product and instead of eskimo's it's a community of people who value community and authenticity above all else. Each subreddit has its own culture and norms, so it's essential to understand the specific community you are targeting, otherwise, your campaign may fall flat. And with hundreds of thousands of active subreddits, standing out among the noise can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
But, if done right, a marketing campaign on Reddit can lead to a viral sensation and a loyal customer base.

    Right now, I am just testing out content marketing endeavors on Reddit to see how that goes.

    If it works, we will see.

    I used to use ads on that platform on certain subreddits but I have a new service where I use Linkedin to grow the converted paid user base for B2B SaaS companies.

    Right now, I post content for B2B SaaS companies and then I reach out to 100-200 B2B SaaS companies.

    It seems that Reddit may be better for content marketing.

      Yes it is. Unlike other social media platforms Reddit is all about what you "post". It has nothing to do with who you are. If you're posting good content, you're hero.

        It seems that way. I just generated a subscriber from a content post ...... so I must be doing something right.....

    That's all true. However, how to do it "right"? That's the question.
    Are there any "how to" articles on the topic?
