Why Reddit drove 30% of Trigify signups in 60 days
0:00I'm going to go over how we've been
0:01using Reddit in the last 60 days
0:04actually drive 30% sign ups to the
0:08Triggerfyre platform through
0:09specifically Reddit and just generally
0:11the strategy or Reddit strategy that's
0:14absolutely been crushing it for us
0:16recently. Particularly just launched and
0:17we've been testing it internally the
0:19ability not only to monitor Reddit
0:20generally through keywords, but also now
0:22the ability to monitor Reddit through
0:25subreddits as well. So when I think
The 4 ways we use Reddit (training data, outbound, brand monitoring, GEO/SEO)
0:27about the opportunities with Reddit, I
0:29break it down into four kind of four
0:31areas. Of course there's more. The first
0:33one is we're using Reddit data as like
0:35training data. So I'm going to do
0:37another video on this another time, but
0:39I speak a lot about the kind of harness
0:42layer and particularly you know speak a
0:43lot about Hermes, which is like an open
0:45core equivalent. And the Reddit data is
0:48really helpful for giving context to
0:51agents so that we can make informed
0:53decisions about whatever task that we're
0:54doing going forward. The other key ones
0:56are targeted outbound. I think it was
0:59written from Clay, right? Who talked a
1:00lot about his strategy that he was
1:02searching manually on Reddit when they
1:04first started Clay to find anyone who
1:06was suffering from data enrichment
1:08issues and things like that and just was
1:09personally DMing them. So that's an
1:11interesting one. Brand monitoring
1:12generally and then GEO and SEO
1:14opportunity when it comes to the
1:16comments. Um this is an interesting one.
1:18Obviously we all know that Reddit is
1:20cited for LLMs. So we want to either use
1:22influencers, we want to post ourselves
1:25depending on what subreddit we want to
1:27posting on because there is an excellent
1:28opportunity for us to get mentions
1:30across that. So let's dive in. Today
Setting up keyword search in the Trigify app
1:32we're going to do it all through the
1:35Lcode app. Right? I'm going to use the
1:37app. You obviously can use the terminal.
1:38It's the same thing. So one of the key
1:40things that a lot of people struggle
1:41with is they don't know which subreddits
1:42to monitor for targeted outbound and we
1:44don't know how to set up the kind of
1:46intricacies of this. So I'm going to
1:47break this down over the next 5 minutes
1:49so you have everything that you need.
1:51The first thing that we're going to say
1:52is go ahead and monitor anytime anyone
1:56is posting on Reddit for social signals
1:59and marketing or sales or GTM over the
2:03last month, max 100 results. I want it
2:05to be daily for me. Probably should have
2:07specified Triggerfyre there, but let's
2:08see if it knows to use the MCP. So,
2:11there we go. It's gone ahead and done
2:13that. The next thing that we want to do
Using Claude to discover high-signal subreddits from real data
2:14is we want to use this search result to
2:17go and find, okay, what are the most
2:20referenced subreddits? So, here we're
2:21going to ask it, go and fetch the
2:23results from the search that we just set
2:24up. Analyze all of the posts and let me
2:27know what are the top two subreddits
2:30that get the most amount of mentions in
2:32for me. So, the idea is we're going to
2:34use Claude to analyze the data coming in
2:37from Triggerfyre here. Okay, so it's
2:39just come back and it says it's analyzed
2:4141 posts. Here's the top two. But then,
2:43interestingly, it says these top two
2:45results are mostly low signal. It looks
2:47like self-promo personal subs. It thinks
2:50the first useful one is the B2B event
2:52marketing one and the B2B sales one
2:55shows up. So, what I was going to say
2:56now is, "Interesting. Let's go ahead and
2:59monitor these subreddits." And we're
3:02going to do this one here and this one
3:05here. And so now, just purely from that
3:07data, it's given us somewhere to look at
3:10because like a lot of the times we don't
3:11know which subreddits to go ahead and
3:13do, whereas now we have that capability
3:16to use initially the keyword search to
3:17get broad and then use the data to go a
3:20little bit more narrow. And then, of
3:21course, the more we let that initial
3:23search run, the more data set that we
3:24build, the better it's going to be. So,
3:26that's stage one, which is collecting
Adding subreddit monitors and narrowing the dataset
3:28the data. Stage two is, how do we go
3:30ahead and create the targeted outbound
3:33brand monitoring and kind of GEO SEO
3:35opportunity here? So, it's gone ahead
3:37and set up the searches for us. And so
Building brand mention monitoring with Slack alerts
3:38now we're going to say, "Okay, perfect.
3:40I want to go ahead and build out a
3:43couple of new things on Reddit and a
3:44workflow." Firstly, I want to monitor
3:46anytime the company name Triggerfyre is
3:49mentioned on Reddit, and then I want to
3:51build a workflow off the back of that
3:54and I want to use an agent. Let's use
3:56Opus 4.7 and I want to analyze if that
3:59post is talking positively or negatively
4:03specifically about the company
4:04TriggerFiy within it. If it is, I want
4:07to send a Slack notification through to
4:09our general channel in Slack. So now
4:11it's going to go ahead and build out
4:12this entire flow for us which is going
4:14to be epic. So we'll let that cook for a
4:16couple of seconds. Okay, perfect. So
4:17that took 15 seconds or so. But it's
4:19basically gone ahead and created the
4:21initial Reddit search monitoring our
4:22brand. And now we have a workflow that
4:26is taking the data from that search.
4:28It's using Anthropic Opus 4.7. It's
4:31analyzing whether it's positive,
4:32negative, neutral or not. It's created
4:34an if branch and then it's sending
4:35straight through to our TriggerFiy
4:37general Slack channel which is insanely
4:40cool, right? So this is the initial use
4:42case which is the one here and we can
4:45just mark that as done. So the next is
Targeted outbound workflow (finding intent, categorising, reaching out)
4:47the targeted outbound approach that we
4:49want to do. So let's go ahead and set
4:51that up as well. I now want to go ahead
4:52and set up a new system here. So I want
4:56to take the three searches that we have
4:58done which is the social signal search
5:01on Reddit and then also the subreddits
5:04that we have just started monitoring.
5:06And I want to feed both those three
5:08searches through into a workflow. In
5:11this workflow we're going to use an
5:13agent to analyze whether these posts
5:16that are getting posted on Reddit and
5:18these subreddits are relevant to
5:20TriggerFiy. So for example, they could
5:22be asking for help with go-to-market
5:24strategies. They could be asking for
5:26help or making a statement around intent
5:29data. They could be referencing tools
5:32like clay.com and other kind of similar
5:35data enrichment or sales or marketing
5:38tools. If they are, I then want to
5:41create a category which would be either
5:43there's high sales intent because
5:44they're asking questions. Maybe it's a
5:46statement and I could add value to that
5:49and then send these through to Slack as
5:51well along with the opportunity. So, if
5:53it's a kind of a commenting opportunity
5:55based on me adding value to that post or
5:57is a sales opportunity and then I want
5:59the link to the post so I can obviously
6:01reach out to the person and pitch my
6:03business. And obviously what then
6:04happens right from here is I obviously
6:06if there are opportunities I can go
6:07ahead and DM the individuals or I could
6:09comment on the post. You got to be a
6:10little bit careful on Reddit because
6:12they're massively against kind of
6:13self-promotion. Some subreddits are a
6:15little bit okay with it as long as
6:16you're providing value. So again, just
6:18kind of read the room a little bit there
6:19but DMs have been pretty popular and
6:20pretty well received when it's actually
The full system running inside Trigify
6:23highly targeted work. This is going to
6:25go ahead and cook away now for a minute
6:27or two but that means we will have
6:28everything built out. And if we were to
6:30go actually to the app here, we can see
6:32it's set up the subreddits, we've got
6:34the Triggerfyre search running. If I
6:35come to the workflow section here, we
6:37can actually see that it's gone ahead
6:39and created this for us without us
6:41having to do anything. Um and what's
6:43cool is it's no output yet because it's
6:45not run. But we don't even ever need to
6:46log in to Triggerfyre. In theory, I
6:47could come back into here and I could
6:49ask it to pull through the results or I
6:51could set up a daily cron that pulls
6:52through the results into here and
6:54produces it into maybe a Claude co-work
6:56artifact or something like that as well.
6:58And that is everything start to finish
6:59on how we can create an unbelievably
7:02good strategy around Reddit. The only
7:05thing here is that I was talking about
7:07the reason I said I want to let you know
7:09if it's a commenting opportunity. There
7:11I'm going to then try and obviously use
7:12it to reference Triggerfyre and create
7:14like a really good kind of geo-raised
7:16comment that's hopefully going to help
7:18Triggerfyre rank as well and not only
7:20just then provide authority in my
7:21profile on Reddit as well. And so yeah,
7:23if you want the video on how I'm using
7:25it to train agents like Hermes, I'm
7:27going to drop that in my YouTube so go
7:29ahead and subscribe over there. Peace
7:31out.
