Meme Marketing on Largest Subreddits To Make Sales
Meme marketing on Reddit can be a great way to make sales.
On 3rd December, Omar posted a meme about software programmers (/r/ProgrammerHumor) on a subreddit with 4.1 million members.
He used Memelord Tech to create the meme.

It became the top post, getting 50,000 views fast.
Post on Programmer Humour
The Funnel
In just 30 minutes, Omar got 100 people to visit his website and made $89 in sales.
Omar didn't use any CTA (call-to-action) or links in comment section. He relied on people’s curiosity to explore his profile.
And Redditors naturally checked his profile when his post went viral.
To make the most of this traffic, Omar did a few things:
He added custom links to his profile.
He had a promotional post in a subreddit like r/SideProject which allows you to showcase your side project. He could even pin this post in future to make most of it.
Omar Profile Links
Omar's post got 1.2k upvotes before it was removed. But it still brought in sales. This shows the power of meme marketing in a massive subreddit.
Niche Applications
Some niches work really well with this strategy where you share your pics/memes/insights in massive subreddits.
For example, Pieter Levels could share data from Nomads with digital nomad communities.
He could talk about things like the best places to eat or stay in different cities. Since the cities are infinite, he can keep posting insights and get crazy number of sales just by sharing data and having a link to Nomads in his profile.
Actionable Reddit Playbook
To do what Omar did, you can try this framework:
Find big subreddits where your content fits.
Post valuable or funny content. No CTAs or links in comments. Just pure value.
Finally, add links to your profile.
If you keep showing up, people will check your profile and see what you offer.

my prediction is that the first billion dollar agent company will be a services company using agents behind the scenes to automate their work
I met with a debt servicing business today who is automating their entire process using agents
their customers have no idea

Lots of alpha in charging agency price while the backend is all AI Agents.
You can charge $5k-$10k/month easily that only costs you $500/month to fulfill.
You've heard of Geo-Arbitrage, Cross-Exchange Arbitrage, International Arbitrage, API Arbitrage, Third world country Arbitrage, VPN Arbitrage. But now, you will hear about AI Agent Arbitrage.
An example would be an 11-inch M4 iPad Pro costs $999 in USA. The same iPad costs $2,424 in Brazil. You can make $1,425 by buying in USA & selling in Brazil. You can sell it in black market for $500 cheap.
AI Agents will have massive arbitrage opportunity. They will go mainstream in 1 or 2 years (probably more) so you have a lot of time to scale this easily.
Example would be World-Class AI Landing Page Copywriting Agency like Supafast (but the copywriter is an AI Agent) or Local SEO Service Agency that is completely done by AI Agent.
It would require fewer employees and it would work autonomously 24x7. The only thing you would require is lots of leads.
Countless people already do keyword research for SEO or interlink blogs using AI Agent. What took them 30 minutes now only takes them 5 minutes.

We still have 100s of customers on @PaddleHQ
And they're overwhelming our support
A simple address change or adding a Tax ID is stupidly stressful
We have to live chat with Paddle support
Get past the AI support, to a real person

Merchant of Records use fear-based marketing. They depend on future pain. Most times it never happens as 99% of startups fail.
If it ever happens to you when your startup become too big, you can hire top-class lawyer and pay a negligible fine.
The lesson is to never build products that depend on future pain as they are the hardest to sell.
And never use MOR as Olly said:
"We've made a lot of mistakes in the last 2.5 years. But I can confidently say falling for the MoR lie was probably our biggest"
The replies do mention that much bigger founders never used MoR either before getting acquired.

If the numbers are true, sell a Bible B2C app.
Nothing like religion. There is low churn. Its recession-proof. Plus bad times are coming thanks to AI.
Bible sales will soar. Bible apps go brrrrr.
