I’d love to know the answer! I’ve read a couple of times that Reddit is the best platform for this

@claire_martin2 Have you tried it in your case? how exactly would you go about it as I'm also planning on using it efficiently.

My product is an interview copilot, so I focused on promoting it where job seekers are active—mainly on Reddit and LinkedIn. These platforms have been great for connecting with the right audience and generating early interest!

@saswat_singh Absolutely, finding the right subreddits can be tricky! For communities that don’t allow direct promotions, it’s best to focus on the value your product brings. I usually join relevant discussions and share insights that relate to the problems my product can solve, without making it feel like a sales pitch. And feel free to check out the link in my bio!

First 10 customers came through my network - I reached out personally to friends, ex-colleagues, etc who I thought could benefit from it. Took a while but got great feedback for improving the product. Reddit is also solid for targeted outreach in relevant subs. Just be authentic and provide value, don't spam.
