Reddit will eat you alive if you treat it like an ad platform. It will also send you the best customers you have ever had if you treat it like a community.
Lurk before you post
Spend two weeks reading the sub. Learn the norms, the in-jokes, and the moderators.
Contribute 10x what you ask
Ten helpful comments per soft mention. Reddit notices ratios.
Disclose, do not hide
When you mention your product, disclose. Hiding the affiliation is the fastest way to a ban.
