Reddit is one of the few distribution channels where a founder with zero followers can outperform someone with a million.

  • LinkedIn shows your post to your connections

  • Substack shows it to your subscribers

  • X shows it to your followers

All three require you to build the audience before the distribution works.

Reddit distributes to communities and if the community likes what you posted, it can put you in front of hundreds of thousands of people (TikTok does something similar for consumer products, but nobody sells procurement software on it).

The ranking code behind Reddit’s decision was open sourced, which means you can read it. And it is why a founder with no audience, no budget and no distribution can put something in front of two hundred thousand people on a random week day.

The problem? Reddit is brutally hostile to marketing. Karma thresholds, account-age gates, automated filters and moderators can kill your post before anyone even sees it.

📚 This guide is a system for getting past that: finding the right communities, earning the right to post, reverse-engineering what actually wins there and turning it all into a repeatable weekly distribution loop.
