However, when I see someone is already starting to hire an employee, the question crosses my mind: What profit has that person achieved when they can afford to pay another extra person?
More and more, my friends on Twitter are sharing their Reddit successes. They either have decent "vanity metrics" but also brag about getting real customers. I have a few subReddits where you can create a discussion around your products (I am sharing them below) but do not recommend doing "salesy" marketing. Just take it like a space where you exchange experiences and ideas because trustworthy and connections are done this way. Otherwise, you are banned :)
