Repurpose Content Excerpts as Reddit Posts With a Soft Read-More CTA
Repurpose Content Excerpts as Reddit Posts With a Soft Read-More CTA is a reddit & forums tactic for getting your first users: The maker turned excerpts of his newsletter into standalone Reddit posts and, instead of asking people to subscribe, ended with a link inviting them to read more there.
