okay so I was spending like 3 hours every Sunday manually scraping Reddit for leads and I did this for 4 months before I finally just built something to do it for me

this is actually wild in hindsight because it was working the whole time. like genuinely closing customers from it. just also slowly taking over my entire weekend

the thing I built monitors subreddits in real time, scores posts by buying intent, and drafts outreach so I'm not starting from scratch every time

went from 3 hours to maybe 15 minutes on a Monday morning

the conversion rate on these leads is so good because the person has literally just posted asking for a solution. they're not cold. they're mid-problem and already looking

honestly the manual version is worth doing first just to understand where your buyers actually hang out and how they talk about their problem. but after that just automate it

turned it into its own product which has been a whole other ride

highly recommend the Reddit lead channel in general if you're a micro saas founder and not doing this yet. genuinely the most underused thing I've seen -- Leadline btw
