This week on Reddit marketing: seeding done in the open

— [Case] A team pre-seeded 4 honest 'I've been using this' threads across relevant subs the week before launch; on launch day those threads drove 30% of first-day signups. Why it's worth your time: they disclosed affiliation in every post and still converted — the disclosure copy is shared. Source: r/SideProject, u/launch-diary
— [Tactic] One founder waited for organic 'what tool do you use?' threads instead of starting them; reply timing beat thread-starting by 1.8x clicks. Source: r/Entrepreneur
— [Tool] A monitor that alerts you to new 'recommend me a tool' threads in chosen subs. Source: r/SaaS

Editor's pick: the disclosed-seeding case — proof that 'I built this' beats stealth when the product's real.
