Hey everyone,
I’m building a social network that matches people’s careers with their passions. Last week, I started a marketing campaign on Reddit where I message anyone posting a question that’s relevant to the problem. So far, I’ve messaged about 20 people and have about a 50% response rate. Of those people, about 3 have moved to the next stage: a consultation. Our site has also seen a 300% increase in site visits.
Based on our funnel estimates, we’re going to have to message about 7 ppl/day to reach our sale goal. Looking into the future, my only concern about this strategy is how I will be able to scale this process of messaging and talking with each person. There’s so much to learn from people in our primary target audience and even people in our secondary audience.
Some things I plan on building is a problem tracker, so that we can measure the frequency that people face similar problems.
I will keep yall updated on our progress and other problems that arrise. I’m pretty excited to get out there and just help people, so wish me luck!
I had one comment get 25 upvotes yesterday and got 30 signups in one day. I spent about 30mins reading posts and posting on them with general advice. I’m going to continue down this path
How did you identify the subreddits to target? Also, how do you then encourage people to your site? Good luck with the project :)
I just kinda searched some relevant topics. I was looking for people who were unhappy and looking to switch careers, so I just searched that in reddit. Another great tool I’m using right now is gummy search. It allows you to search reddit a lot better and build unique audiences.
Whenever, I comment on a post or message someone, I always attach my site.
Gummy search looks great, thanks for sharing!
Update:
We eneded up getting about 50 sign ups in one day which was super exciting. Now we’re trying to figure out what to do next with all the sign ups. We’ve never had this happen.
If yall have suggestions, would love to hear it
