The problem
Your pipeline is two months of referrals away from awkward. Cold email is a slog. Upwork is a race to the bottom. You'd hire an SDR but the numbers don't work yet. Meanwhile, on Reddit, founders are openly asking who they should hire for the exact thing you do.
Linkeddit gets you in front of those founders before they post the job somewhere else.
The setup
- One Project per service line. Your messaging for "I need a website redesign" is different from "I need help with paid acquisition." Don't try to use one Project for both.
- One Request per Project, targeting the relevant subreddits (r/Entrepreneur, r/SaaS, r/startups, the niche-specific ones for your space).
- Configure Monitors for the highest-intent threads: "looking for a freelance X", "anyone know a good Y agency", "hired a consultant and it didn't work out." These are buyer-intent goldmines.
- Install the extension. The whole loop runs through the side panel.
The daily rhythm
The agency model works best when you batch prospecting into specific blocks rather than letting it bleed across the day:
- Morning, 20 min. Open the side panel. Work through your high-priority Request manually. 5–10 personalized DMs.
- Set auto-send on a second Request with 2–3 minute pacing. It'll send another 10–15 DMs over the rest of your work day, in the background.
- Once a day, check Monitors. Hot threads where a great comment wins you a lead before the OP gets DMs from competitors.
- Evening, 10 min. Check replies, schedule follow-up calls, archive duds.
Handling multiple service lines
Most agencies sell 2–4 services. Common mistake: one giant Project that tries to cover everything. Result: drafts that sound like a brochure.
Better: one Project per service line, with very different voices and value props. Your design service Project might be visual and brand-led; your SEO service Project should be data-driven and skeptical of fluff. The AI mimics the voice of the Project, so write each one like a different person.
What good looks like
- 2–3 service lines, each with its own Project and Request.
- 30 DMs per day across all auto-send Requests combined.
- 3–5 discovery calls a week from Reddit, in addition to referrals.
- A handful of evergreen helpful comments on Reddit that keep generating inbound DMs months later.
What to avoid
- Don't DM with a sales pitch and a calendar link. You're a peer, not a vendor.
- Don't auto-send on a freshly-created Reddit account. Build it up first.
- Don't pitch in subreddits with explicit anti-promotion rules — you'll get banned and lose your activity history.
- Don't try to scale this to 200 DMs/day from one account. That's a different game, and not a sustainable one.
