“The Simple Reddit Strategy That Boosted Early User Growth for Indie Products

Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been helping indie founders get early traction, and one thing I’ve noticed is that Reddit communities can be incredibly effective when approached carefully.
Some tips I’ve learned:
Identify subreddits where your target users hang out
Focus on adding value first, not promoting your product
Use short, clear posts or comments that explain your product naturally
When combined with a simple demo video, this approach can get your first users without spending heavily on ads.
Curious has anyone here tried Reddit for their launch? What worked (or didn’t) for you?
