The working Reddit playbook
Use this as the working brief before choosing a thread, writing a reply, or publishing a post.
Safest first move
Collect threads where buyers compare categories, jobs, and old solutions.
Subreddit fit
Start with r/marketing, r/copywriting, r/saas, r/b2bmarketing and use the related subreddit list before drafting.
What to post or comment
Rewrite positioning so it reflects the buyer's actual decision.
What to avoid
Only reading positive mentions. Confusing founder language with buyer language. Turning every objection into a defensive claim.
Proof and measurement
Use safer replies to validate whether the explanation helps.
