• Credit inspirations - Mention tools that inspired you
• Ask for feedback - Specific questions get better responses
• Cross-promote - Share others' work, they'll share yours

DON'T

• Spam - One post per subreddit per launch
• Self-promote only - 10:1 ratio of helping vs promoting
• Ignore criticism - Address concerns professionally
