The working Reddit playbook
Use this as the working brief before choosing a thread, writing a reply, or publishing a post.
Safest first move
Start by reading rules, pinned posts, and recent accepted threads.
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
Move into buyer-intent threads only when the answer helps without the product.
What to avoid
Starting with product links before the account has useful history. Using quick karma tactics instead of real subreddit participation. Moving from observation to product mentions too quickly.
Proof and measurement
Track account readiness, accepted replies, removals, and follow-up before posting more.
