## About

This Reddit marketing skill helps marketers, founders, and content creators craft subreddit-optimized posts and comments that drive authentic engagement without triggering spam filters. It solves the challenge of writing Reddit copy that feels native to each community while achieving business goals—whether you’re sharing a case study, launching a product, or building domain expertise.

Unlike generic AI tools, this skill understands Reddit’s unique algorithm factors and content culture. It generates copy that follows the 90/10 principle, uses proper Markdown formatting, and suggests content types like experience sharing or Q&A that historically earn more upvotes. The output includes a title, body, suggested flair, and a reminder to check subreddit rules, so you can post confidently.

Use it to speed up your Reddit workflow: quickly draft a discussion post for r/Entrepreneur, create a helpful comment in a trending thread, or repurpose blog content into a Reddit-friendly story. Whether you’re an indie hacker looking for first users or a marketer scaling channel efforts, this skill makes Reddit accessible and effective.

## Key features

- **Subreddit-Optimized Titles**: Generate titles that match each subreddit’s format requirements and avoid clickbait, increasing acceptance and upvotes.

## Core Rules

## Post Structure

### Title

- **Concise, specific, accurate**--no clickbait

## FAQ

### What is Reddit marketing and why does it matter?

Reddit marketing involves participating authentically in subreddit communities to build brand awareness, trust, and traffic. It matters because Reddit’s 70 million+ daily active users seek genuine advice and discussions, offering high-intent audiences when done right.

### How is this skill different from Reddit ads?

This skill generates organic post and comment copy, focusing on community engagement. For paid Reddit ads, use the reddit-ads skill, which handles promoted posts and subreddit targeting.

### Will my posts get removed for self-promotion?

Not if you follow the 90/10 rule (90% value, 10% promotion) and subreddit-specific rules. The skill creates value-first content and reminds you to verify each community’s guidelines before posting.

### What is the 90/10 rule on Reddit?

The 90/10 rule means that only 10% of your activity should be promotional; the rest must provide genuine value, like helping others or sharing insights. This keeps your account in good standing and prevents removals.

### How do I install the Reddit Posts skill?

Run the install command: npx skills add https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills/tree/main/skills/platforms/reddit. Then invoke it when you need to create Reddit copy.

### Can I edit the generated copy before posting?

Absolutely. The skill generates a draft with title, body, and suggested flair. You should always review and personalize it to match the subreddit’s tone and your authentic voice.
