Hello everyone, I launched my agency in Dubai 5 months ago.
I was super excited as I’m now my own boss, but things didn’t work well as I expected.
Till now I have 0 clients. I use to reach out to instagram accounts that I saved and either send them a dm or email or give them a call.
I’m stuck and helpless, I’m thinking to start running ads.
Is it too hard to find clients? How you are running it? What do you recommend..
A psychological AI detective game where you interrogate suspects through dynamic conversations to uncover the truth.
Every suspect has their own personality, secrets, emotional triggers, and breaking points. They can lie, deflect, manipulate, panic, contradict themselves, or stay completely calm depending on how you approach the interrogation.
You’ll need to analyze inconsistencies, apply pressure strategically, and decide what information to reveal during questioning.
Still actively developing and balancing the game, would genuinely love any feedback or ideas from fellow web game players/builders. I can give free credits!
boss finally approved budget for a proper social listening tool focused on reddit and im trying not to waste it on something that looks good in a demo and falls apart in real use.
we mostly care about brand mentions, product feedback showing up in niche subreddits, and flagging when a thread is gaining traction before it blows up. not enterprise scale, mid-sized b2b saas.
things im already side-eyeing: sentiment scoring that cant tell sarcasm from a real complaint, keyword alerts that are basically useless because they miss context, and dashboards that bury reddit inside a generic social feed with twitter and linkedin.
what actually matters when youre evaluating these? anything that looked great on paper but disappointed you in practice? or honestly, is there a free or cheaper route that covers the basics without the bloated pricing?
would love to hear what people actually use day to day.
For a long time I thought finding the "right" marketing tool would make the biggest difference.
The more founders I talk to, the more I think that's the wrong question.
Most of us already have access to solid tools for email, analytics, social scheduling, SEO, and automation. The real challenge is getting them to work together.
A launch that combines email, community engagement, social content, analytics, and fast follow-up usually performs much better than relying on a single channel.
I've also noticed that communities like Reddit often outperform larger social platforms not because they have more traffic, but because conversations are driven by genuine problems instead of algorithms.
So I'm curious:
If you had to keep only one distribution channel for the next 12 months, which would it be and why?
I'm curious how other B2B marketers are measuring the success of organic Reddit marketing.
Are you using UTM/tracking links in your comments, or does that come across as too promotional? If not, how are you attributing leads that find you through Reddit but later come back through branded search or direct traffic?
Are you tracking things like:
Reddit seems like a unique channel where people often read a recommendation and search for the company later instead of clicking a link. Curious how everyone is measuring success.
We were obsessed with posting in the big subreddits. Half a million members, decent daily activity, seemed like a no-brainer. We got flagged, removed, shadowbanned, or just ignored. Three months of that and our organic signups from Reddit were basically zero. Not bad. Literally zero.
So we flipped the approach and started posting in smaller, tighter communities. Subreddits with 8,000 to 40,000 members where the same people show up every week and actually read the posts. The first week we tried it, two posts stayed up and one drove 31 signups in 48 hours. More than the previous three months combined.
The thing nobody tells you is that Reddit does not reward reach, it rewards relevance. A post in a 12,000-person niche subreddit where you actually belong will outperform a post in a 500,000-person sub where you are clearly a stranger. The community can feel the difference immediately and they vote accordingly.
I wasted a lot of time thinking distribution was a numbers game. It is not. It is a fit game. If the people in that subreddit would genuinely find your thing useful, the post survives. If you are just casting wide hoping something lands, mods and downvotes will handle it fast. Took me embarrassingly long to accept that.
We ended up building Reoogle partly out of frustration with this exact problem, so if you are hitting the same wall you can check it out at reoogle.com
I started as a freelance content writer in 2021 and landed a dream client in 2023. Over my first two years, I transitioned into a Content Marketer, and a year ago, they brought me on full-time as a Growth Marketer.
Since then, I’ve worn a lot of hats: managing paid ads (LinkedIn, Google), CRM (HubSpot), GTM, GA4, and social media, before recently pivoting back to my core strengths in content marketing, organic search, SEO, and AEO. Because my focus has been so scattered, I haven't specialized in one specific direction and feel like I'm falling behind in deep, functional expertise.
My current company is a B2B enterprise SaaS that still operates in "startup mode" despite being 13+ years old. I've had some solid wins here:
* Using fundamental on-page SEO, content quality benchmarking, and AI-led content workflows, I grew our monthly traffic from 1.5k to 4k.
* I tied 65+ leads to our organic channels in a single year (up from almost nothing the previous year).
However, because I don't manage a massive-traffic brand, I haven't pushed myself to learn advanced technical SEO. I have basic on-page knowledge but lack expertise in modern search nuances like entity/vector search, complex site architecture, and the evolving AI search landscape. Similarly, my data and tracking skills are basic—I use GA4, GSC, and GTM just enough to get by.
Even though my current workplace is providing more resources now, I don't feel like the expert I need to be for my next career leap, and I'm ready to experience something new and exciting.
My goal is to transition into a high-velocity startup environment where I can rapidly gain experience as a Marketing Manager, Growth Marketer, or SEO Specialist. To get there, I’ve mapped out an upskilling plan for the next two months.
I would like to share the link to the spreadsheet in the comments if you could spare a moment.
Do you think this is the right approach? Is there anything you would add, or can you give me a harsh reality check?
Ads Manager is a pain in the ass when you need to launch a lot of ads.
I’ve also tried Meta’s MCP workflows. They’re great for analysis and experimentation, but I found them surprisingly slow and time-consuming when the goal is simply getting a batch of ads live.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but I don’t really want another conversation or another agent. I just want throughput.
So I started building a small tool for myself to make bulk ad creation and publishing faster.
I’m curious if anyone else feels the same, or if you’ve found a workflow that actually scales well.
If anyone’s interested in trying the beta or giving feedback, I’m happy to share access.
How’s your setup working, and what are the biggest pros and cons you’ve noticed?
