Which post type to choose
| Type | Use it when | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Launch / show what I built | You have something people can try | r/SideProject, r/alphaandbetausers, r/IMadeThis, and weekly "share your project" threads |
| Ask for feedback | Before or right after launch, to test the pitch | r/SaaS, r/startups (in their feedback threads), r/roastmystartup |
| Ask how people solve a problem | You're still validating, or want to learn the words buyers use | Niche communities of your buyers; no link at all |
| Lessons learned | You have real numbers or mistakes to share | r/Entrepreneur, r/startups, r/indiehackers-style communities |
| Milestone breakdown | You hit a number worth explaining | Founder communities that allow progress posts |
| AMA | You have expertise people want; ask the moderators first | Industry subreddits that schedule AMAs |
What makes a Reddit post work
- A specific title. "I built a tool that sends invoice reminders for freelancers" beats "Check out my new app". Numbers and plain words beat hype.
- Your story first, product second. Why you built it matters more to Redditors than the feature list.
- An honest disclosure. Say you're the maker. Hidden promotion gets reported, and readers spot it.
- A real question. Posts that ask for something specific get comments; comments get reach.
- The link in the right place. Many subreddits remove posts with links in the title or body; put it in a comment if the rules allow.
Example output
For a launch post about a product that "sends invoice reminders automatically" for freelancers, the generator suggests titles such as:
- I built Invoicely to send invoice reminders automatically — looking for honest feedback
- Freelancers: I made a tool that sends invoice reminders automatically. What would make you actually use it?
The body follows the same structure: who you are, the problem, three bullet points about what it does, where it is today, and two questions for readers. Replace every [bracket] with your own details, because posts that read like a template get ignored.
Template or AI?
AI generators write fluent posts that all sound the same, and moderators increasingly remove machine-written content. A template gives you the structure that works and leaves the voice to you. Write it in your own words, then use our subreddit stats to pick the time and the karma checker to make sure your account can post there.

FAQ
How do I write a good Reddit post?
Lead with a specific title, tell the story of why you made the thing, disclose that you're the maker, end with a real question, and follow the subreddit's rules on links and flair. The generator builds that structure for you.
Is there a Reddit post template for product launches?
Yes: choose Launch above. You get three title options and a post with sections for the problem, what it does, where it is today and what feedback you want, in Reddit markdown.
Does this use AI?
No. It uses templates that follow what works on Reddit, filled with your details in your browser. Nothing is sent to an AI service, and nothing you type is stored.
How long should a Reddit title be?
Reddit allows 300 characters, but titles under about 120 characters read better. The tool shows the length of each option, and if you name a subreddit, the average length of its best recent titles.
Can I post a link to my product?
Only where the rules allow it. Many subreddits remove self-promotional links, or allow them only in a weekly thread or a comment. Name the subreddit to see its promotion rules next to your draft.
Why was my post removed right after posting?
Usually a filter: account too new or low on karma, a link the subreddit blocks, missing flair, or a self-promotion rule. Check your account with the karma checker and read the rules before reposting.
