If you guys are not using reddit for marketing you should! Here are some tips.

Hey I am Pablo and currenty working on sigmaOS.com a new productivity browser releasing on product hunt next week. I know that a lot of you have probably tried some form of marketing on facebook/instagram/twitter but people tend to shy away from reddit. I am here to show you my example and how I got 200 users and plenty of feedback compeltely free in a couple days. Here is the link to one of my posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps... For those who are new to reddit here are my tips: 1- Similar to product hunt, reddit is a community and should not just be treated as a marketing paltform. There needs to be genuine interaction 2- Do not make your post sound corporate like. Just be honest and your authentic self and people will appreciate that (there are many good detectives on reddit who will see through you if you are fake) 3- Make sure you find the most relevant subreddit to you. For those who do not know reddit is split into many different forums. For example I am making a MacOS browser, so I posted on r/macapps and r/browsers. It is also important that you tailor your post to the subreddit you are posting to. 4- Make sure to interact with everyone who comments on your post and give them real answers. On the note of comments, make sure to not take some criticism too hard since it is a social media platform after all and there will be some toxicity sometimes. I found reddit to be a great platform to find genuinely interested/interesting people. The ability to target them by subreddits is very valuable and they tend to be quite responsive and active. I hope this helped some of you who may not be familiar with reddit or just had not thought of using it as a way to get traction. This is quite a quick overview so if you have any questions just ask. I have also dealt with reddit ads if you are curious about that. Also if you have some time I would appreciate you guys checking out SigmaOS. We are realeasing next wednesday (feel free to subscribe to get notified here: https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) Hope this helped :)

What is the biggest lesson you've learned marketing for a startup?

This could be your own or working under someone else's startup Mine is probably working on SEO early on when you're first working on your startup. SEO takes time to get going, and if your website is completely new, you can't expect results straight away. Also, you don't need 'paid' tools to get going. I did my initial research with a free trial with SEMrush and then subsidized my results over time with Ubersuggest.
