A guide on validating business ideas using Reddit and other communities

Do you have a great new idea for a product or business that you want to test out? I know, it’s hard.

Our team uses Reddit to validate ideas for the last 2 years. We launched 5 projects, including a “cash cow” Email Verification Add-on and a micro-saas Silent Inbox.

It’s the simplest and cheapest approach available on the market.

I structured this guide around Reddit because it has nearly 300M users and 11B page views according to Similarweb stats. Yet, you can use this guide to research and plan text or visual content, templates, no-code apps to other communities, forums, and groups where your audience hangs out.

In an hour you’ll learn:
– Basic rules to get started
– How to research relevant subreddits
– How to evaluate them to find the most performing subs
– How to plan and write content with CTAs
– How to write titles to get people’s attention
– How to find the best time for publishing
– Tools + a spreadsheet for subs evaluation
– How to keep engagement rate high
– A plan for your experiment that includes 5 subreddits, 2 pieces of content, 5 titles for each.

As a bonus get a final checklist as a template in Notion.

Research, verify and gain customers before you’ve even created anything with this comprehensive guide.
