The problem
You launched. Now you need users. Cold email lists are stale and expire fast. Paid ads burn cash before you've nailed messaging. LinkedIn is saturated. Your nights are spent doomscrolling Reddit thinking "people who'd love this are in here somewhere."
They are. Linkeddit's job is to find them and put the right message in front of them before a competitor does.
The setup (one-time, ~15 minutes)
- Create a Project — your product, who it's for, your voice, your value props. Write it like you'd brief a new sales rep.
- Pick 5–10 subreddits where your buyers actually post. Be honest about where they hang out — not where you'd like them to hang out.
- Create your first Request using natural-language targeting like "founders building B2B SaaS asking about pricing strategies" or "developers frustrated with their current observability tool."
- Install the Chrome extension. This is how you actually send.
The first week
Don't auto-send yet. The goal of week one is to tune your Project until the AI drafts read like you actually wrote them.
- Open the side panel, work through 5–10 leads manually each day.
- Pay attention to what you keep editing in the drafts — that's your Project missing context. Update it.
- Track responses. Note what the responsive DMs had in common.
- If a thread surfaces a buyer with serious intent, drop everything and reply manually with care.
Once it's tuned (week 2+)
- Turn on auto-send. Pick 90s or 2m pacing. Let it work through your queue while you do something else.
- Run multiple Requests in parallel. One per audience. SaaS for founders, SaaS for engineers — different drafts entirely.
- Set up Monitors for high-intent threads. Catch "what tool do you use for X" posts the moment they go up. Drop a useful comment in the first hour and you'll get DMs for a week.
- Treat replies like gold. A Reddit DM reply is more committed than a LinkedIn connection accept. Move fast and be human.
What good looks like
- 20–30 DMs sent a day, paced, never blasted.
- 5–10% reply rate within the first 48 hours.
- 1–2 demos or conversations per week from Reddit alone.
- A growing list of "users who came from a comment I dropped in r/X."
The compounding effect is real: every helpful comment you leave on Reddit lives there forever, indexed by search engines, surfacing your product to people you never DMed. The DMs get conversations now; the comments work for you for years.
What to avoid
- Don't pitch in the first DM. Build the conversation first.
- Don't run auto-send on a brand-new Reddit account.
- Don't over-link. One link is fine, three is a flag.
- Don't ignore the activity log — it's how you learn what's working.
- Don't expect this to replace product-market fit. It accelerates a working loop; it doesn't create one.
