The Trade-off

Free, high-intent traffic from people actively searching for solutions — but Reddit and forums are brutal to self-promoters, and getting banned for spamming destroys the opportunity permanently.

The Strategy

Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, specialized forums, Facebook Groups, and niche Slack communities are where your potential customers actively discuss problems, ask for recommendations, and evaluate solutions. Unlike social media (where people scroll passively), forum users are actively engaged and seeking answers.
