A free Reddit lead-gen stack

A free Reddit lead-gen stack is a few boring tools that still work: search, example phrases, an email alert, and a local list of people you replied to. It is not a hosted monitor, and it is not an auto-DM product. You write every reply.

The free pieces

  • Reddit search, or Google site:reddit.com plus the problem in quotes. Use this when you need one thread, not a warehouse.
  • Buyer-phrase keywords on this site. Static examples, grouped so you can steal the shape of a query. Not a live keyword database and not ranked by search volume.
  • F5Bot if you want email when a keyword shows up on Reddit, Hacker News, or Lobsters. Their site has a free plan. We do not run that listener.
  • The Reddit account-health checklist before a useful week of comments turns into a missing-post week. It links Reddit's own pages. There is no username form here.
  • Founder CRM for the people you decided to answer. Free, local, no account. You write every message.

A weekday, in order

  1. Start from a phrase a buyer would type, not your category name.
  2. Open the thread. Skip it if the original poster is gone or the rules forbid a mention.
  3. Reply in public with a next step they can use without you.
  4. If your product is the honest recommendation, say so in one sentence after that.
  5. File the person: thread, what they asked, what you said, when to look again.

How to reply is first customers from Reddit. How to do it without a send button is Reddit auto DM alternative. The category page is Reddit CRM.

What this stack is not

It is not Syften, GummySearch, or any other hosted listener. Syften watches keywords across Reddit and other communities and sends alerts. If you want that job, read the Syften alternative note and use their product. We will not fold a hosted listener into a free stack to win the keyword.

It is also not bulk DM. No auto-DM and safety are the trust pages. Free does not mean a bot sends from your account while you sleep.

Where Founder CRM fits

Use search and F5Bot for awareness. Use Founder CRM when a person is worth remembering. Optional flows run in your own Chrome session. The list does not upload anywhere. There is no credit card.

Chrome Web Store approval is coming soon. Install Founder CRM for the list. Keep the other free pieces even after you do.
