Reddit can be an amazing resource for promoting your startup. However many subreddits explicitly ban self promotion. Here’s a list of the top 12 sub reddits that don’t ban self promotion;
- Alphaandbetausers – The perfect subreddit to launch on – low expectations, multiple daily posts
- indiebiz – For startups to offer and share, not a ton of activity but at least you’ll get backlinks
- Linkbuilding – Another good place to trade links, and no ban on self promotion.
- Micro Saas – Software as a Service businesses run by a very small team, perfect for launching a SaaS
- Plugyourproduct – Promotion here is encouraged, but traffic is infrequent
- Promotereddit – Meant for cross promoting other subreddits, so create a subreddit for your own Saas or App and then share it here
- RoastMyStartup – Promotion here is encouraged, so perfect for launching here
- SideProject – Self promotion is encouraged, and is very active
- Smallbusiness – Promotion here is permitted, traffic is active
- Software As a Service – Active subreddit where self promotion is allowed, if you are a SaaS then post here
- Startup – This is a subreddit to bring people together and help startups get help with their business needs
- Startups – “You MAY share your startup in the Monthly Share Your Startup thread”, very active and sharing is encouraged
