  STUDIOS ARE BUILDING GAMES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO NEVER STOP POSTING. EVERYONE ELSE FINISHED THE GAME AND LEFT. Mark Darrah ran Dragon Age for years, and he said it out loud this week. "Players are really, really good at identifying problems. What they're a lot less good at is identifying solutions. They're not developers, they're game players." Then the part that got him mobbed: "Most people buy a game, play it for a while, and then move on. They're not yelling about the game on Reddit. Most people aren't terminally online." He saw it coming. The video opens with "so I don't get completely canceled."

  slot 2, value — cutting the CTA close since this isn't the CTA slot: you have no product, no audience, no experience, and $83. you need to be making money within 30 days or you're going back to the job you just quit. this isn't a hypothetical. someone found my account 2 months ago in exactly that position. he'd quit his customer support job, had roughly 5 weeks of savings left, and was scrolling at 1:17am trying to figure out what the hell he was going to do next. i told him what i'd tell anyone with a laptop, wifi, and very little runway: forget the niche you're "passionate" about. open reddit. search for complaints. sort by top of all time. keep reading until you find the same problem coming from at least 5 different people with 100+ upvotes. that's not random complaining. that's market research you didn't have to pay for. he found one in 19 minutes. r/freelance. 430 upvotes: "why is there still no simple system for tracking client payments, contracts, and follow-ups without paying for another monthly subscription." there was the product. spent the weekend building the simplest possible version. 17-page google doc. contract template, invoice tracker, payment checklist, follow-up scripts. nothing fancy. $29 on gumroad. monday morning, faceless account. no name, no photo. one-line bio: "simple admin tools for freelancers." posted 3 times a day, every post pulled straight from the complaints he'd found. week 1: 0 sales. thought it was dead. week 2: 3 sales, $87. week 3: 8 sales, $232. started a telegram, 38 people joined. week 4: 14 sales, $406. raised the price to $34. week 6: $1,386. telegram at 417. the product never got fancier. still a google doc. still a canva cover. still no face on the account. he just kept doing the same four things: find the complaint, validate it fast, build the smallest useful version, put it in front of the people already talking about the problem. that's the whole game. it was never about the product looking impressive.

  After publishing 500+ Reddit posts and comments for dozens of clients in the last 12 months for AI search, we noticed something odd: the comments ChatGPT cites are usually the ones buried halfway down the thread. (btw, just finished our off-page playbook - lmk if you'd like to preview it) So there's a pattern to which Reddit content LLMs trust, and thankfully it doesn't seem to be correlated with who buys the most upvotes Here's the framework we're using: (1) Find where models are already looking Two primary ways to do this: 1. (Preferred) find the Reddit threads being cited across relevant prompts in your AI visibility tracker 2. Search "[keyword] reddit" on Google and note which threads come up. It's not bulletproof but it's a good start The sweet spot is ICP-rich subreddits where your buyers actually discuss their problems. r/SaaS, r/Entrepreneur and r/startups are the obvious ones. The gold is in the niche ones. The more specific, the better because that's the content that will capture query fan-outs. (2) Understand what models actually extract Content quality seems to beat engagement metrics every time. I've often found a cited comment 50-60% of the way down a thread with 2 upvotes. Not exactly prime real estate. What models do seem to reward is entity-rich content, in other words content that associates "things" with your company: - specific tools and competitors - integrations - product differentiators - concrete use cases - firmographics When someone queries ChatGPT they front-load a load of context ("i'm an SaaS founder, we have 5 employees, based in the USA, struggling with manual expense tracking"). The model turns that into sub-query variations and goes looking. Your content needs to answer the long tail rather than the head term. That's the science of Reddit marketing. (this aligns with our research where we analysed 2M AI citations and found prompt-content alignment to have a standardised effect 3x more than the next tactic) There's also the art: (3) Navigate the Reddit culture without getting publicly humiliated Reddit isn't LinkedIn, you can't blatantly self-promote and expect it to work The frame we use is problem to solution, with your product as maybe 10% of the answer. Share expertise, answer the actual question, and if your company genuinely helps then mention it as one option among several with a fairly neutral take. We rarely post links unless it's a deliberate campaign to signpost a specific feature. -- These comments often rank on Google too so one good answer keeps working across both surfaces for months. Reddit is still the most underrated B2B channel i know of because it influences the LLMs that many buyers are using to consume information and research vendors. -- If you'd like to preview that off-page playbook for AI search, lmk and i'll send it over

  Here's how I convert a guy on Reddit in the DMs: 1. Ask him a question about his problem. If he doesn't reply, he doesn't have that issue 2. If he replies, dive deeper into his problem 2. Give him advice to position yourself as an expert 3. Then you can promote your tool, because you're legit in his eyes

  good news I'm getting a refund for Ram & Power Supply and found an even better one for less than what I had which could arrive by monday It seems my old one notoriously has issues with dying after only a few months, but then again my source is one reddit thread so what do I know

  @MattWalshBlog Given my background in this space (genetics), I'd be more than happy to debate these so called reddit PhD experts who don't want to blame low iq and 3rd worlders for creating this problem. But sure, it's only the dogs fault

  @OptionsFunding_ Yall are using a system rixtrade that I highly suspect that you know is flawed. I had many issues with it today and I googled it along with looking at reddit which confirmed my issues. I think you will be needing to refund my money back.

  @GammaVibe Thanks, man. I say Reddit is really awesome for hobbies and personal experiences. My post has been hijacked and I cannot keep up with the comments, way too many comments to reply to all. It's pretty simple, just take something normal and make it absurd. I come up with my best ideas while listening to music, I feel good and then the idea just pops into my mind and that's that. If it makes me laugh in my mind, then it'll probably make other people laugh as well. That's basically my recipe. When it comes to marketing a product, that's a little bit more challenging. I am working on it though to see what works and what doesn't. I'm thinking if I can market myself, then a product should be no problem.

  People who use SEO as their first acquisition channel are doomed to fail Your primary goal is to validate if people are actually willing to pay for your product. - Go on X or Reddit - Find 10 or 15 people who have the problem your product solves - Pitch them your product - If they're willing to pay, then sure, do SEO. But don't do it the other way around

  @ClassicII_MrMac I saw your recent video. But your devices are at 100%, plugged in. On reddit - charging seems to be a huge issues on devices with battery in it with OCLP, especially on Sequoia. When the device is off - charging doesn't work as well, only in Monterey partition.
