Track phrases like 'looking for', 'recommendation for', 'best tool for' in your target subreddits. These are high-intent signals that someone is ready to buy or sign up.
Create genuinely valuable free resources (guides, templates, calculators) and share them in relevant subreddits. Collect emails through a simple landing page. Reddit users will share good resources within their communities.
Become the go-to expert in your niche subreddits. When people consistently see your helpful answers, they start DMing you directly. These warm DMs convert at much higher rates than cold outreach.
Use Reddit search and alerts to find conversations where people need exactly what you offer. Respond quickly with genuine help. Speed matters because Reddit threads move fast.
Never DM someone unsolicited on Reddit. Instead, provide so much value publicly that people DM you first. A single helpful comment can generate 5-10 inbound DMs from interested prospects.

Common questions about using Reddit for lead generation.
Focus on providing genuine value first. Answer questions thoroughly, share free resources, and only mention your product when it is directly relevant. Most bans happen when people lead with promotion instead of value.
Reddit leads tend to be high-intent and well-informed. They have usually researched alternatives and are looking for the best solution. While volume may be lower than paid channels, the quality and conversion rates are typically much higher.
Use unique UTM parameters for Reddit links, create Reddit-specific landing pages, and ask leads how they found you. Tools like Google Analytics can track Reddit as a referral source. Also monitor your DMs for inbound inquiries.
You can automate monitoring (using Reddit alerts or third-party tools) but never automate responses. Authentic, human responses are what make Reddit lead generation effective. Automated comments are easily detected and will get you banned.
