She made 280k from her comments.

The form includes fields such as Name, AI Instructions, Persona Information Source with options 'Manual Story' and 'LinkedIn URL', a Story text box containing a detailed personal story about ADHD coaching and experiences, and a Mention Instructions field.

This screen is designed for capturing detailed persona narratives to enhance AI-driven content personalization or knowledge management.Sample output:

This image is a screenshot of a Reddit comment from the r/adhdwomen community where the user glitzy_gelpen shares their personal experience with an ADHD diagnosis at age 28. The comment highlights common ADHD symptoms in women that often go unnoticed during childhood and discusses effective strategies for managing ADHD. These strategies include getting properly diagnosed and medicated, working with an ADHD coach (specifically mentioning Shimmer ADHD coaching), learning about ADHD to overcome misconceptions of being 'lazy' or 'broken', and building supportive systems tailored to one’s brain. The user encourages starting the diagnosis process promptly and considering non-pharmaceutical options like coaching as helpful tools. A yellow sticky note in the image indicates the comment was generated with OGTool.

Example of an awesome persona

Example:

I'm Chris, the co-founder & CEO of Shimmer but also a member. I'm a 31 year old woman who was diagnosed when I was 28 years old.

I've had 3 coaches (2 ADHD and 1 founder) - In the past 2 years, I've worked with 2 ADHD coaches (1 focused on career, other relationships) and 1 founder coach. BIG caveat, when you work with the RIGHT coach, it is unbelievably amazing. And also other BIG caveat, when the price is right too. I found that super expensive coaches made me have REALLY high expectations that couldn't get met (nobody is going to wave a magic wand at your problems).

Anyhow, a bit of each of my experiences: ADHD coach 1: She was my first coach ever and she was INCREDIBLE (and affordable). At the time, my work-life was an absolute mess and I couldn't get into deep work. I felt like I did a lot of stuff every day but I didn't feel like the real important stuff was moving forward. I was starting to get super frustrated and the more frustrated I was, the less I showed up properly for work. When we started working together, first of all... she got me really excited about the future. She asked me some reflection questions that got me thinking about what I'm really trying to do, why, what my values are, etc. (I know it sounds a bit fluffy but honestly I had just been distracted for so long that I forgot what I was doing...).

Anyway, after she got me re-excited about the future, we started looking at what was getting in the way. Turns out the systems I had set up at that point (which was basically like - here's my daily priorities let me just go at them between meetings) were really NOT fit for what I wanted to get out of the day. She helped me learn some skills around time blocking, ritualizing things, and checked in with me each week to see if the changes I was making were actually working. Some weeks were better than others, but overall we moved forward and I steadily got more and more done per week, while working less hours. My bf was happy :)

ADHD coach 2: Without getting into the details, I wanted to get to a coach that specialized in LGBTQ+/alternative relationships and communication problems there. So I switched coaches on the platform to another coach who helped me dissect my communication issues with my bf (we weren't on the same page about some stuff and I couldn't figure out how to communicate my way out of it and was constantly getting frustrated). Anyway, this coach helped me sort all this out, but I won't get too deep into this one since I know you're asking about career coaching!

Founder coach: So this was kind of serendipitous because I won a scholarship to get free founder coaching with an INCREDIBLE (normally NOT affordable) founder coach. We worked on a bi-weekly basis (vs. the above 2 were weekly) but met for a longer amount of time. Each week, I'd bring 2-3 topics to her that I was facing in my business and we'd essentially break them apart and solve them IN the session. It was really powerful, because she had a good pattern recognition and knew a lot of leadership and management frameworks that I wasn't aware of, and she could direct me quickly to these and I could read up in between sessions. It was a really critical point in my founder journey and I can't imagine having done this without her!

How to respond from multiple personas

If your industry has high volume of posts, its a good idea to split them up among multiple personas.

Example: Founder persona

Example: ADHD coach persona

if the Founder persona can't speak in the r/ADHD subreddit (eg: banned), you can assign that to the coach persona.

This image displays a user interface at OgTool for managing user personas and their associated instructions. It shows two personas: 'Maddie Wang', a founder with specific instructions to assign founder-related posts and exclude SEO posts, and 'Vick', a marketer persona assigned marketing-related posts. Each persona has a detailed story describing their role and background, as well as mention instructions guiding how to reference the persona. The interface allows for editing or deleting personas with icons representing these actions. This tool aids in organizing user personas and automating content assignment based on roles and instructions.Our system will automatically assign posts to the most relevant persona (eg: founder persona, adhd coach persona),
You can filter by persona in dashboard

Biggest Mistakes

  1. Don't use a company account - It comes off as salesy and impersonal
  2. Don't make fake "user" accounts - You will get called out and banned
  3. Don't buy Reddit accounts - Most get banned within 1-2 weeks
  4. Don't worry about karma unless it blocks you from posting
  5. Don't make 100+ comments in a day - Max 10 comments per day per account
  6. Dont share accounts among 10 different IPs - Looks Sus
  7. Dont create accounts on a computer with banned IP from reddit - Looks sus

Main Reasons People Get Banned:

  • Not warming up new accounts properly
  • Making too many posts immediately after account creation
  • Posting too many hyperlinks
  • Using automation tools/APIs
  • Fake being a user (people can see your history)
  • Having a bad / impersonal persona.
