Best for: r/startups, r/Entrepreneur, r/SaaS, r/marketing

Real-world success case

I analyzed 10k top posts on r/SaaS — 5 post types that get you on top

Top post in r/SaaS — the research-backed resource format is consistently the highest-performing

Genuine research value, specific numbers, and actionable takeaways. The product mention was secondary to the value delivered.

Template

Fill in the variables

[doing X]

The activity this resource is about (e.g. 'running cold outreach')

[timeframe]

How long you've been doing this — establishes expertise

[checklist / guide / template]

The type of resource you're sharing

[Resource Title]

Give the resource a clear, specific title

[Step or item]

5–10 genuinely useful items — quality matters here

[Product Name]

Your product — mentioned last, as optional context

Tips for this template

  • 1The resource must be genuinely useful on its own. If it only makes sense with your product, it's an ad.
  • 2The line 'the checklist works fine without it' is critical — it removes the sales pressure.
  • 3Lists with 7–10 items perform better than shorter or longer ones on Reddit.
  • 4If you offer a downloadable version, put the link in a comment to avoid spam filters.
  • 5This format builds long-term credibility — people remember you as the person who shared the useful resource.
