Hey Prompt Entrepreneur,
One of the most common questions I get asked is āhow the hell do you produce so much?ā
Every day I put out:
a newsletter of around 1000 words
3+ videos
Twitter threads and posts
The answer is two fold:
Knowing what Iām talking about before sitting down to create
Systems
In this weekās newsletter Iām going to talk about how I have a limitless numbers of ideas for content.
Specifically - using Reddit to find content ideas I know my audience will be interested in.
This week weāll cover:
Part 1: The Reddit Method of Content Marketing
Part 2: Locating the best sources
Part 3: Newsjacking
Part 4: Evergreen
Part 5: Wide ranging formats
Letās get started:
The Reddit Method of Content Marketing
Summary
The Reddit Method of Content Marketing
Leverage known popularity
Be at the the top of the stream
Last week I did an experiment. I posted back to back one video talking about the Reddit method. And one video using the Reddit method.
The video talking about the Reddit method has (at the time of writing) 3000 views. The video I made using the method has 53,000 views and is accelerating.
The next day I put out another video using the Reddit method. Thatās at 35,000 views at the moment.
Videos using the method consistently 10x my normal videos. Letās look at an example.
Example of Reddit Method in action
The best way to explain the Reddit method is to just show you.
Here is a post on Reddit that was popular:
Itās a video about VASA-1, Microsoftās new photo to video Avatar tool.
Note at the very bottom that this post has 19,000 upvotes (similar to a Like, but Reddit) and 2,000+ comments.
This tells me that this is a topic that is of great interest. Specifically it is of interest to my potential audience and customers.
Because of this I used the post to create this Tiktok:
@iamkylebalmer Hyper realistic AI video avatar made from a single photo. This is VASA-1 from @Microsoft . Is this the future of video calls?? #ai #chatg... See more
Very simple talking head and showing a snippet of the VASA-1 demo itself. Then giving some thoughts.
Thatās basically it. Nothing fancy. Limited script up front and no editing afterwards. The whole thing took me maybe 10 minutes, if that.
Here are the analytics on the 3rd day:
53k views, 1.8k likes, 211 comments, 905 shares, 661 bookmarks, 95 follows.
And that steep slope on day 3 (the day Iām writing this) suggests to me that this is about to really take off. Weāll see.
Thatās all well and good.
But the real advantage is that the Reddit Method letās us do this consistently.
Because the topic has already proven itself to be popular on one highly specific platform (Reddit) chances are itāll be popular on other platforms.
And Reddit tends to be at the cutting edge of trends. Very crudely the pathway of new content from expert to popular is:
Reddit > Twitter > TikTok > Instagram > Facebook
Obviously this depends on the niche and the topic but itās a decent rule of thumb. By the time people are talking about it on Facebook itās old news!
So the Reddit Method is basically about being at the source of the stream, learning what is new and trending and helping to disseminate it to other platforms in other formats.
This isnāt rocket science but very few people do it!
Here is an explainer video which has some more context:

In this weekās Playbook
The basics of the Reddit Method are as above.
Super simple! Be at the source and convert top topics into content for your platforms.
More than enough to get started and work out the details.
BUT if you want to skip that learning phase and start consistently building an audience at scale then over the rest of the week Iām going to go into detail about:
locating the best sources to collect from
knowing exactly what content is trending and popular without having to scroll through for hours
top of funnel news-jacking content for audience growth (ie. beyond your current followers)
evergreen quality content for audience nurturing and moving them towards sales
how best to create short videos from top posts
leveraging comments to write your script
how to attribute and reference your sources
driving leads from your content to email list or even purchases
beyond video to text and image carousels
If you are a premium subscriber you have all that to look forward to and Iāll see you tomorrow!
