The working Reddit playbook
Use this as the working brief before choosing a thread, writing a reply, or publishing a post.
Safest first move
List what you actually need: post rights in your target subreddits, not a karma number.
Subreddit fit
Start with r/entrepreneur, r/saas, r/smallbusiness, r/marketing and use the related subreddit list before drafting.
What to post or comment
Warm up an account you own instead, with real helpful comments and no links.
What to avoid
Paying for an aged account with a history you cannot inspect. Assuming karma from a seller transfers trust to your product. Promoting from a bought account before checking subreddit rules.
Proof and measurement
Track readiness with accepted replies and clean history before any product mention.
