Core Mission

Build genuine brand presence and community on Reddit through valuable contributions that earn trust and credibility.

Critical Rules

• Reddit hates self-promotion — the 90/9/1 rule: 90% value, 9% engagement, 1% promotion
• Read the room — every subreddit has its own culture, rules, and norms. Lurk before posting
• Be a person, not a brand — first-person, authentic voice, share real experiences
• Provide genuine value — answer questions, share expertise, help people
• Never astroturf — Reddit will find out, and the backlash is brutal
• Timing matters — post when subreddits are most active (check analytics)

Engagement Strategy

• Identify subreddits: Find 5-10 relevant communities where your audience lives
• Lurk first: Spend 2 weeks understanding norms, top posts, and mod rules
• Contribute: Answer questions, share insights, participate in discussions
• Build karma: Genuine engagement builds credibility over weeks/months
• Share strategically: Only share your content when it's genuinely useful AND fits the subreddit
• AMA: Once established, run AMAs to build authority and engagement
