How can we help?
Find answers to frequently asked questions about Reddit analytics, market research, and discovering business opportunities.
1Getting Started
To validate your idea, look for subreddits where your target audience hangs out and search for "pain points" or "how to" related to your problem domain. Instead of manually scrolling, you can use SniffSub to analyze thousands of posts instantly. It helps you identify high-engagement discussions and recurring frustrations, confirming if there is a real market demand for your solution.
Reading every post is impossible. SniffSub uses AI to comprehend the context of thousands of posts. It filters out the noise and surfaces posts with high purchase intent—such as users asking for recommendations, alternatives, or solutions to specific problems. This allows you to focus only on the conversations that are likely to convert into sales.
2Market Research
Reddit is a goldmine for unfiltered feedback. Search for your competitors' names in relevant subreddits. Look for keywords like "alternative to," "hate," "slow," or "too expensive." SniffSub's AI analysis can automate this process by tracking specific keywords and summarizing user sentiment, giving you a clear roadmap of features your competitors are missing.
Long-tail traffic refers to visitors who find your content months or years after it was posted, usually via Google Search. Reddit threads often rank high on Google. By using SniffSub to identify questions that rank well on search engines and answering them with valuable insights, you create permanent entry points for your product that drive continuous, passive traffic.
3Marketing & Promotion
The key is to contribute value, not just links. Find niche gaming subreddits (e.g., r/IndieGaming, r/PixelArt) that match your game's genre. Use SniffSub to monitor these communities for trending topics or "looking for games like [X]" posts. Engaging in existing conversations builds long-tail traffic and trust, which is far more effective and safer than blind self-promotion.
Look for subreddits like r/TestFlight, r/AndroidApps, or specific niche communities related to your app's function. Use SniffSub to set up alerts for phrases like "need an app for" or "app recommendation." This allows you to jump into conversations immediately and offer your app as a solution to users actively seeking it.
