Some funnel numbers for my repeatable reddit acquisition strategy. Happy to share more.

  1. 2

    Interesting numbers, I saw your post the other day on /r/vancouver and looked at the list and thought for sure you were a local (I don't read many posts in depth so I totally missed that you're curating a list on Rags). What I take away from this post here is you provided an actually valuable post to a focussed community; who wouldn't want to help support local businesses right now? A list to help identify them provides value.

      Yess that's a really important point. I try to focus on being helpful first and not push anyone into the product. I figure if it's relevant and they want more they'll come in on their own, and if not they probably wouldn't have stuck around very long anyways.

    I've found a lot of success on Reddit. What worked for me was to find relevant comments which I could reply to with a link to my site. I'm building a financial independence calculator and I'd punch the information people would post and link them to it.

    I did get banned from the subreddit which was driving the most traffic but it's a strategy that people seem to find valuable (I got plenty of upvotes) and one which scales over time (I can try to be less "self-promoting" and find other subreddits).

      Yeaaa I've done a bit of that as well when relevant threads pop up. Definitely looks like you're adding value to the conversation with your approach (makes me want to check the tool out 😛).

      Literally just a post like that! Didn't have any reputation (or whatever it's called on Reddit) before starting to do this.
