From Inbox Experiments - for quiet builders who aren’t going to post every day.

Signal = a reply, a DM, a click, a purchase, a waitlist signup. Something real. Not impressions.


1. Niche Subreddits

Best for: SaaS tools, mobile apps, info products, niche services

Setup time: 30 minutes

Signal to expect: Comments, DMs, profile clicks

Don’t post your product. Post the problem it solves. Write a genuine, value-first thread about a pain point you understand deeply. Your profile bio links to the product. Let the conversation do the work.

The key: one subreddit, one week, one post. Don’t spread across 10 subreddits at once.


2. Tool Directories

Best for: SaaS, AI tools, developer tools, productivity apps

Setup time: 2–4 hours (one-time)

Signal to expect: Passive, recurring traffic + AI citations

List your product on: Product Hunt, uneed, AlternativeTo, There’s An AI For That, G2, Capterra, Futurepedia. These get indexed by LLMs, which means they also feed AI-driven recommendations.

One-time work. Ongoing return.


3. Newsletter Cross-Promotions

Best for: Any product with a defined audience

Setup time: 1–2 hours to identify + pitch
