The problem
You're making the content. The audience-building part is brutal. Posting on Reddit as a creator with a link gets you removed; posting without a link gets you upvotes but no traffic. Most of your audience is somewhere on Reddit — you just don't know which threads.
Linkeddit's monitor-and-comment loop is built for this. You don't post; you reply. And good replies on Reddit live forever.
Why comments beat posts for creators
A great post can get 1,000 upvotes and 50,000 views. A great comment on a viral post can get the same — and it puts you in front of an audience that's already engaged with the topic. Comments also get indexed by Google and ChatGPT, which means they're working for you for years.
Most importantly: comments don't trigger Reddit's anti-self-promotion radar the way posts do, as long as you actually answer the question.
The setup
- Create a Project. Your "product" is your content — your newsletter, channel, podcast, whatever. The Project tells the AI what you're about and how you talk.
- Set up Monitors for the questions your content answers. If you make videos about Notion workflows, monitor "what's the best way to organize X in Notion", "alternative to Notion for Y", etc.
- Pick subreddits where your audience actually is. r/productivity, r/SaaS, niche subs in your topic. Not r/all.
- Install the extension and run comments in side-panel mode.
The rhythm
Creators usually don't need auto-send. The reward is in being the helpful person in a thread, not in volume. Block 20 minutes a day for this:
- Open the side panel, switch to Posts → Comments.
- Work through new matches. For each one: read the post. Edit the suggested reply so it actually answers their question, in your voice.
- Only mention your content if the post genuinely calls for it. Most of the time, don't.
- The few times you do mention it, frame it as "I made a video on exactly this if useful" — never a hard plug.
The slow win
Comments compound. The first week feels like nothing — a few upvotes, maybe one new subscriber. Three months in, your activity history in those subreddits makes every new comment land harder. Six months in, the OP of a viral thread DMs you saying "saw your comment in r/X, can we chat" — and you don't even remember writing it.
This works because you're playing a different game than the rest of the internet. Most creators are trying to get attention. You're giving help, in public, where the help itself becomes the marketing.
What to avoid
- Don't drop your link in every comment. Upvote-to-link ratio matters.
- Don't only show up to threads that benefit you. Comment on others sometimes; it pads your karma and trust.
- Don't use the same opener twice. Mods notice.
- Don't argue. Walk away from threads that turn combative — the audience watching will remember.
