This one is almost too effective to share. Every SaaS has unhappy customers. Those customers go to Reddit and vent publicly. And those complaints are your best sales opportunities. **Here's why this is so powerful:** these people already understand the problem space (no education needed), already have budget allocated (they're paying a competitor), are actively unhappy (ready to switch), and are publicly asking for alternatives. That's the highest-intent prospect you'll ever find. Higher than any ad click. Higher than any cold email response. **The method:** **Step 1:** List your top 5 competitors. **Step 2:** Search Reddit for "\[competitor name\]" alternative OR "\[competitor name\]" issue OR "\[competitor name\]" pricing **Step 3:** You'll find dozens of frustrated users describing exactly what they wish was different. **Step 4:** Write a genuinely helpful comment. Don't trash the competitor that looks petty. Instead, acknowledge their frustration and offer objective alternatives: "I've used \[competitor\] too and had similar issues with X. Depending on what matters most to you, here are 3 alternatives I've tested: \[tool A\] for Y, \[tool B\] for Z, and \[your tool\] if you specifically need W." **The key:** be honest and balanced. Recommend competitors when they're genuinely better for that use case. People trust someone who gives objective advice over someone who only pushes their own product. **My results from last month:** 3 customers in one month (high ticket niche), started this strategy since Jan. 2026 + this will compound over time the more I find posts to comment. The hardest part is finding these conversations across 50+ subreddits consistently. I use AI Reddit tools like Reppit AI to monitor competitor mentions in real-time, which surfaces opportunities I'd never find manually. Try it this week: search your #1 competitor's name + "alternative" on Reddit. I guarantee you'll find warm prospects over time, as these posts already rank on goog

Real estate developers face fragmented vendors, permitting delays, and coordination chaos when installing EV chargers. The problem is more acute now as mandates increase and EVs scale.

I've been lurking in this sub for a while and I keep seeing the same post over and over, just with different product names. "Launched 3 weeks ago. Less than 20 users signed up. Zero paying customers. What am I doing wrong?" Or "Built for 8 months. Finally launched. Crickets. Help" Or the most painful one: "Gave it away free to 50 people. Asked them to pay $29/month. All 50 ghosted me." I'm not writing this to be harsh. I'm writing this because I've watched talented technical founders waste 12–18 months of their lives on a problem that has a clear, learnable solution, and nobody in this sub is talking about it directly. So here it is. # The real reason you have no paying customers isn't your product, your pricing, or your landing page. It's that you're trying to sell to people who don't yet trust you, don't yet know you, and haven't told you with their own words that they have the problem you're solving badly enough to pay money to fix it. You built something. Then you went looking for someone to sell it to. That order is the problem. # What the amateur approach actually looks like (most of you will recognize yourselves here) You had an idea. You built it, or you're building it right now. You put up a landing page. You posted on Product Hunt, posted here on reddit, maybe posted on Twitter. You got some upvotes, some "congrats on the launch" comments, maybe a few hundred free signups. Then silence. So you started tweaking. Changed the headline. Lowered the price. Added a free tier. Posted again. Maybe ran some Google ads. Still nothing. You're iterating on the wrong variable. The problem isn't the headline. The problem is you don't actually know — with evidence, not assumption — who is in enough pain to pay you, what words they use to describe that pain, and what would need to be true for them to hand over a credit card to a founder they've never heard of. You skipped the step where you find that out. What that step actually looks like Before your first
