I provide a payment service that is an alternative to Stripe. How can I get leads from Reddit without posting links and participating in discussions as natively as possible? Is it possible to ask potential customers to DM me and offer my services there, or would that violate the moderation rules?

Please advise on effective strategies and lead generation methods that will not result in account suspension. Thank you in advance for your help!
 
One way is to create reddit threads that will engage conversation if the content is good people will dm you or ask about the service , its slow and needs time to grow but is something to consider, moderation rules are strange i have some subreddits where screenshot or links are not allowed yet i see multiple users posting them with no backlash

Just run ads in there
Or buy a payment sub Reddit
 
To generate leads on Reddit, focus on offering value in discussions without being too promotional. You can invite DMs subtly by sharing helpful advice and encouraging people to reach out privately, but avoid direct sales pitches. Building trust through genuine engagement works best.

Either you go face first and pitch on SaaS subreddit (may interest some guys there) with an incentive

or you take a valuable account make it ask a question that your SaaS fixes and answer to the thread (people will see it)
 
Create your own subreddit as well, you can post links in there under your posts, make sure you bring some value, find subreddits where you're allowed to cross post, and just take part of conversations.
 
Dude, reddit is good when you find answers on spiritual or health (supplements who works) topics, I like that well on reddit. But for business, make business, make money, affiliate, online business, high ticket business and so on; forget it! On these topics reddit people majority of them ,not have good knowledge about online business are very frustratet and sound like communists; "it not works, it's all scam, it's fraud, they are fake gurus /experts" and so on the whole long list etc,etc.......

For business, online business; forget reddit. Use profile not pages; FB ; Twitter, IG, LI. To build community your target audience and get traffic and leads. A lot of big business people or influencers, all of them failed on reddit .

My strategy is simple: I tell short, relatable business stories that naturally prompt questions, then I answer those questions and, when it makes sense, mention the solution I built.
The point is stories invite curiosity. Don’t lead with a product or a link, lead with a problem + result, answer honestly in-thread, and only bring up your service when someone asks for
specifics. That keeps everything native and far less likely to trigger mods or automod.

Better tell stories how helpsul, simpel and secure your payment service is when private customers buy stuff from ecommerce shops, not write business stories on reddit.
 
Thanks so much for all the tips and tricks, guys! I'll definitely take note of them and use them on my Reddit journey.
 
No, DMing right away can trigger spam filters. You’ll really need to build some trust first before reaching out privately.

No all influencers and micro influencers using DM systems on their social platforms - the right way, this does not triggers spam filters.(maybe reddit is different here because they not like b2b content) , majority of micro influencers nowadays using DM systems when people comment and like your content.
 
Generally there is nothing better on Reddit than being active and helpful. You can also get or build your own subreddit where you will advertise yourself.

Focus on providing real value in discussions, answer questions with expertise and let potential clients reach out naturally to avoid breaking any rules
