If you don't know what Reddit is let me tell you: It's the biggest community platform in the world (if you consider a community platform as something separate from social media, like I do). It is among the top 10 most visited websites in the internet. It has lot of potential for making great conections and thanks to it I got a great high ticket client. Letit is a copy of Reddit, that I personaly find very interesting and promissing. Here is a complete breackdown of the pros and cons of each. ---> Reddit PROS: - It's a huge platform with all kinds of users. - If you look at the right places you will find very high quality conections that will be genuinely open to talk to you and give you opportunities you won't find anywhere else. - It's a SEO goldmine. What does that mean? It means that when someone googles an anwer to a question, if that question was answered on Reddit, it will be one of the first results. And if you're the one giving that answer, all the credit goes to you. That's how I got my client, by answering questions people made there. AI also loves using Reddit's answers as a reference. - You can find a community for every single niche there. There is a community for talking about eggs that has thousands of active users posting every day, for example. You will most definetelly find people talking about your very specific niche there. CONS: - It has a very anti consumerism culture. Advertizing under performs there compared to other social platforms. - For the reason above, getting clients on Reddit is very tricky. Self promotion is a sin. Any sort of CTA in your posts, as subtle as they might look, will get you downvoted to oblivion and sometimes even baned. You need a very specific approach for doing marketing there. - Moderation is very annoying and toxic in a lot of places. Reddit's moderators are volunteers with God complexes, that will a lot of times ban users for the most stupid reasons. - It's completely annonymous. You can use your name and photo there but that's not the culture. As a result, it's hard to build your brand using Reddit and also hard to find brands to compare to yours. Reddit is all about focusing on content and rejecting brands.

But you can increase your reach by crossposting in different platforms, with little additional effort. Don't need to make new content for each one of them. Repost, repurpose and test it out different places. I repurposed content for my community that I made on Reddit years before I even knew about Skool. And much of the same content can do very well on LinkedIn. Want to have a talk about that? I'll be live in around 3 hours at AI Storytellers, @Nick Nebelsky's community. Join the community and add the event to your calendar, so you won't miss it!

Having your online presence in different places takes a lot of work. But sometimes is worth it, as you need to go where your audience/ potential clients are. This wednesday, 3 PM UTC (https://time.is/UTC), I'll be live in Nick's Community to talk about different strategies on how to make yourself present online. Please, join his community in order to watch this event. In this event, I'll share my experience as a Community Manager that worked in different platforms for online business owners. I'll go through the differences in platforms like Facebook, LInkedin, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and others. I'll talk about the strategies and best uses for each of them. So tell me, where is your business present? - Community Platforms: Skool is the platform of choice for everyone here, and it is usually the place where all of the magic happens. The tip of the funnel. But there are other options besides Skool. In my community you can see comparissons between Skools and it's competitors. - Website: Having your own website and using SEO strategies to appear on google searches is also great. Having your home page as your landing page and making posts is also great for content marketing. Landing page + Google Ads is a great way for people to find you. - Google Maps: Having a physical adress for your business gives you discoverability on search pages also credibility for people who find you. - YouTube: YouTube is quickly becoming the largest search engine, sometimes competing with google. Having your presence in video form is also almost mandatory to succeed online as people will hire you if they trust you, and they will trust you if they can see you. So creating your presence on YouTube is a must. - Facebook Page: Great for paid traffic. You can set it up very easily and have a gret portifolio for your business. - Instagram: Have great sinergy with Facebook, and allows for very easy automatic crossposting. So if you have one, there is no reason to not have the other. - TikTok: If your focus is on viral content, this is a great place. You can get decent traction even by having very little subscribers. It seems like tiktok doesn't punish you for having little people following you, so It's a great place for new joiners. I had a dark TikTok channel where I put low effort career guidance tips. One of my posts there still gets likes and views to this day, 2 years after I abandoned the account. - Reddit: having a presence on reddit is a great way to make connections and capture clients. Reddit is still the largest commmunity platform in the world. It's a SEO goldmine. I got my high ticket client from there. - Freelance profiles: Upwork and Fiverr are a good alternative to get jobs and get clients. But you need to count partially on luck as those are very disputed. But depending on your niche, it's a good idea.

I was very succeesful in getting members in the classifieds. And now, by fiunding this communnity, I'm excited to have one more place to share and talk about what I do. So I'm sharing some stuff that I did before in the there that will be useful for people here too: 1. Ask for feedback. At first I was just figuring out what I was trying to do, and my first posts were all about asking people for feedback. It turns out my message was far from being clear and I was really bad at selling what I did. After some honest and sometimes harsh feedbacks, I kept reinventing myself untill people finally understood what I was doing. If you can't explain what you do in one sentence, you need to improve your message. 2. Don't just post the same ad everyday. Be creative and test different things out. This place is perfect to test an idea you have, so give more than just a copy-paste of your about page. Talk a little bit about what you're doing, about the value you provide. Teach something. Make people intrigued. Write something that will make them interact with your post, like a question or a poll. Offer an opportunity so people feel like they have to join in order to take it. 3. Leave the CTA (Call To Action - requesting people to join your Community) at the end, not the title. Use the title to get people's attention, write a text that makes them want to keep reading and at the end make a CTA that will make them feel stupid for not joining your community. 4. Be consistent. People might need to see you more than once to be convinced. Post everyday, each time trying out something different, providing some valuable piece of content and a different perspective to the problem you're solving. Eventually people here will get familiar with you and they will want to join your community to get more of what you're posting. This is my community.
