4 Reddit Comment Templates That Generated 280k In a Year
Hey, Maddie (from OGTool) here. I want you to get as many customers as possible on Reddit.
I found a HUGE correlation between customers who make GOOD comments and the amount of customers they get
Our software finds relevant posts for your startup, and generates a comment (like example 1 & 2), that look and sounds like you.
The Account Setup That Actually Works
Use Your Personal Founder Account, Not Your Company
This is the biggest mistake I see. Don't create a company account called "StartupNameOfficial."
Use your personal account with your founder credentials in the bio. People want to talk to humans, not brands.
Great examples:
- "CEO of Series C startup”
- "MD specializing in sleep disorders"
- "Relationship coach helping couples for 10+ years"
Bad examples:
- Anonymous usernames with no context
- Generic company accounts
- Fake "user" personas
Examples
Look at Chris's and Rishi's comments. They've done it for 8+ months. They've only had 1 subreddit ban. Rishi got his best enterprise deal from reddit. Chris gets 280k/year from Reddit.
Here are 4 different styles that work:
1. Stuff your comment with 3-5 tips
You can just share 3-5 tips, your product happens to be one of them
2. Disclaim you're working on it
Focus 90% of your comment on helping them. Then at the bottom, have a 1 liner, disclaim: hey im the founder of XYZ.
3. Ask them to DM you (in extremely moderated subreddits)
You share some numbers on your approach and ask ppl to DM you if they want access
4. Share what worked for you personally
You can share your story and share specific insights that helped u.
Bad examples
1. Generic AF
2. Acting as a third party (Not being transparent about who you are)
Remember:
Do
- Stuff your comment with 3-5 tips
- Share what works for you
- Disclaim you're working on it
- Sound natural
Don't
- Make generic comments (robotic tone)
- Fake being a user (people can see your history)
- Make 100 comments a day with a new account (start slow with a new account)
- Automate your comments!! (Reddit can detect it)
NEXT:
- Read the Reddit Page - this will tell you how to start so you don't get banned.
