Selling on Reddit
Don't sell on Reddit; teach on Reddit. Write genuinely useful posts in subreddits where your buyers ask questions, mention your product in one honest, disclosed line with no link, and let people find you through your profile. Postomate writes Reddit posts that follow those rules.
Postomate writes and publishes your Reddit posts. Approve each one, or let it run.

Moderators decide what's allowed. Many ban self-promotion outright; others allow it only in a weekly thread.
Posts with product links from newer accounts are often removed automatically before anyone sees them.
A genuinely useful post can rank in Google and send readers to your profile for months.
Every one of these is useful even if nobody ever buys.
A real experience with numbers and specifics. Reddit rewards honesty and detail.
The full method, not a teaser. Holding back is what gets posts called out as ads.
Share your experience, then ask for theirs. It starts conversations that put you in front of more people.
Invented products, to show the format. Your posts are written from your own product page.

Every client gets one status (Pitched, Active, Invoiced, Paid), and every Monday I sort by invoice due date. Anything in Invoiced for more than 7 days gets a polite nudge that day. A spreadsheet works fine for this. (Disclosure: I sell a Notion version, but you don't need it.)
The rule: A real story that teaches. One disclosed line about the product, never a link.

I thought my second rental was my best one. Monthly tracking showed the opposite
Higher rent, so I assumed it was better. After tracking six costs per property every month, it netted about $1,900 less over a year. Repairs and vacancy ate the difference. (I sell a tracker template, but any sheet with per-property tabs works.)
The rule: A real story that teaches. One disclosed line about the product, never a link.

I sent 200 cold emails last quarter. Here's what got replies
The ones that worked were short and specific: one detail about them, one problem, a tiny ask. Anything over about 120 words got ignored. (I've written my templates up as a paid guide, but this is the core of it.)
The rule: A real story that teaches. One disclosed line about the product, never a link.
Look for words like “self-promotion”, “spam” and “links”. If promotion isn't allowed, don't mention the product at all.
Many communities allow promotion only in a pinned weekly thread. Use it, and keep your main posts promotion-free.
If you mention your product, say plainly that you sell it, in one line. Put the link in your profile, not the post.
Comment helpfully for a while before you post. Accounts that only ever post about their own product get flagged.
Not directly, in most communities. What works is sharing useful knowledge in subreddits where your buyers ask questions, mentioning your product honestly in one line where the rules allow it, and letting people find the link on your profile.
It changes, so always check each subreddit's rules and sidebar before posting. Many allow it only in a weekly promotion thread; communities about your topic usually matter more than general self-promotion ones.
Make the post fully useful without the product, add one plain line like “Disclosure: I sell a template for this”, and never include the link in the post. If the rules forbid any promotion, leave it out entirely.
No. Postomate's Reddit posts teach first, and any product mention is a single disclosed line with no link. It can also skip a topic entirely when there's nothing worth posting.
Your first posts are written while you set up. Approve each one, or let it run on autopilot.
