Core Principle: The 10% Self-Promotion Rule
Reddit communities enforce a rough 90/10 rule: 90% of your posts should be
genuine contributions, 10% can reference your own work.
What this means for output:
Position the author as a contributor, never a marketer
The post must deliver standalone value -- a reader who never clicks a link
should still learn something
Any link to the original content goes at the bottom, framed naturally
Never use phrases like "check out my blog" or "I wrote an article about this"
Instead: "I put together a longer breakdown here if anyone wants the details: [link]"
Output 1: Discussion Post
File:reddit/post.md
Title
Max 300 characters (Reddit's limit)
Frame as a question or observation -- never as an announcement
Good: "After analyzing 50 newsletters, here's what actually drives opens"
Good: "Has anyone else noticed [specific trend] in [topic]?"
Bad: "My guide to newsletter marketing"
Bad: "Check out my latest blog post on [topic]"
Title formulas (pick the best fit):
Formula
When to Use
"After [doing X], here's what I found"
When content has original data or experience
"Has anyone else noticed [observation]?"
When content identifies a trend
"[Topic] question: [specific question]"
When content answers a non-obvious question
"I [did X] and the results surprised me"
When content has a contrarian or unexpected finding
"[Number] things I learned about [topic]"
When content has clear, numbered takeaways
Post Body
Length: 200-500 words. Reddit penalizes both too-short and wall-of-text posts.
Format: Reddit markdown.
Structure:
Context/Observation (2-3 sentences)
Open with a relatable situation or observation. Establish credibility through
specificity, not credentials. "I've been doing X for Y months" not "As a
certified expert in X."
Key Insight (1-2 paragraphs)
The meatiest atom from the content. Present it as a discovery or realization,
not a teaching moment. Use evidence: numbers, examples, comparisons.
Supporting Points (bulleted, 3-5 items)
Pull from the strongest atoms. Each bullet should be one clear thought.
Use Reddit markdown formatting:
- **Bold the key phrase** then explain briefly
- **Another point** with supporting detail
Open Question (1-2 sentences)
End with a genuine question that invites debate. NOT "What do you think?"
(too generic). Instead, ask something specific that people can disagree on.
Optional Link (1 sentence, at the very bottom)
Only if the original content adds substantial value beyond the post.
Frame: "Full breakdown with [specific extra detail] here: [link]"
Separate from the discussion prompt with a line break.
Tone Rules
Do

Output 2: Subreddit Suggestions
File:reddit/subreddits.md
Analyze the content topic and suggest 2-3 relevant subreddits.

Field
Description
Subreddit
r/SubredditName
Relevance
Why this content fits (1 sentence)
Size
Approximate subscriber count tier (small <50k, medium 50-500k, large 500k+)

Rules to Watch

Adaptation Notes
Any changes needed to the post body for this specific subreddit
Subreddit selection criteria:
Topic match -- the subreddit actively discusses this subject
Size sweet spot -- medium subreddits (50k-500k) often have the best engagement
Self-promotion tolerance -- some subreddits ban all external links; note this
Post type fit -- discussion-oriented subreddits over link-dump subreddits
