Topic expert AMA — 'I've done X for Y years, ask me anything'

You don't need a product to run an AMA. Deep expertise in a specific topic drives high-quality questions and positions you as a trusted voice in the community.

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

Real-world success case

AMA I'm the founder of a 5 year tech startup, and we just recently reach $1M ARR

High sustained engagement — the specific credential and honest framing drove quality questions

Specific achievements, honest framing about both successes and failures, and genuine willingness to answer hard questions. The AMA felt like a conversation, not a press release.

Tips for this template

  • 1The 'Why I'm doing this' section prevents the AMA from feeling like a marketing stunt.
  • 2'Stupid questions welcome' is a powerful phrase — it lowers the barrier to ask and drives volume.
  • 3The 'What I'll be honest about not knowing' section is the most trust-building part of this template.
  • 4If you're doing this to promote a product, say so upfront — transparency is always better than discovery.
  • 5Post at peak hours for your target subreddit — AMAs need immediate engagement to take off.
