"I analyzed 100 [things] — here’s what I found"
Analyze a pile of public things your community cares about — 100 landing pages, 50 pricing models, a year of job posts — and share the findings with charts as a native text post. Original analysis is the most reliably upvoted self-made content on Reddit; mention your product only when commenters ask.

The play
Do the tedious analysis nobody else will — 100 landing pages, 50 pricing models, every top post in the niche — and post the findings with charts as a native text post. Original work earns the upvotes; the product stays in the comments, on request.
Watch out for
- Post the full findings natively — a teaser linking out gets removed and resented.
- Show the method; Redditors will audit it.

Plays like this one
- Run a 90/10 contribution ledgerKeep an actual ledger of community contributions and hold a 9-to-1 ratio of genuine help to self-promotion — banked in advance, not promised after. The discipline compounds twice: the answers themselves surface your expertise where buyers already look, and the account’s platform trust score rises, which is what decides whether future posts render at all.
- Build-in-public origin story in a niche subredditPost your product’s honest build-in-public origin story in the single subreddit where your buyers already gather. Open with the problem and what you learned, not a pitch. Mention the product only when a commenter asks. Genuinely useful, transparent founder posts earn upvotes, comments, and durable referral traffic without tripping self-promotion rules.
- Write the canonical answer to the sub’s weekly questionIdentify the question your target subreddit asks every week, then write the definitive answer as a structured text post — thorough, current, and free of links to you. Recurring questions guarantee recurring traffic; the canonical answer gets bookmarked, linked by regulars, and quietly makes its author the recognized expert.
- Promote only in the designated promo threadsMost large subreddits run designated promotion threads — the one surface where pitching is explicitly welcome. Inventory the recurring threads in your niche, show up every cycle with a tight pitch and a real update, and never promote outside them. The restraint itself builds the account trust that later makes your ordinary posts survive moderation.
