Winning the weekly self-promo thread

This week on Reddit marketing: how to actually get traction in those buried 'promote yourself' threads.
—
[Tactic] Post early in the thread's life — r/Entrepreneur notes the first hour catches the few people who sort by New.
—
[Case] A seller in r/juststart shares treating each entry as a mini-pitch: a hook line, the link, and an offer to give feedback back.
—
[Rule-change] Reciprocity culture — a r/marketing note: upvoting and replying to others in the thread lifts your own visibility.
—
[Tool] A calendar reminder for each sub's promo-thread day so you never miss the window.
—
Editor's pick: posting in the first hour. These threads die fast, and timing beats clever copy almost every time.
