Finding customers on Reddit and in online communities

People ask Reddit for recommendations every day. 'Does anyone know a good electrician in my city?' 'What do you use for bookkeeping?' Those are buyers, in their own words, asking for exactly what you sell.

The risk is real too. Communities remove promotional posts quickly, and a new account that only talks about its own business gets banned. These pieces cover how to find the right subreddits, how to search for buying questions, how to write a reply that reads as help and not an ad, when a direct message is acceptable, and how to tell whether any of it is bringing in customers.

Everything here assumes you reply from your own account and say who you are. No fake accounts, no bought votes, no automated posting.
