Using r/GrowthHacking for lead generation

A good niche sub for acquisition and outreach tools. The community is comfortable with automation and lead-gen tactics, so a relevant tool recommendation reads as on-topic rather than spammy. Volume is moderate; hit rate is solid.

Buying signals to watch for
  • "What's your outbound/lead-gen stack?" posts
  • Channel experiment write-ups asking for tooling
  • Automation and scraping workflow questions
  • "How do I find [audience]" sourcing threads
Self-promotion rules

More tolerant of tools than most marketing subs, but value-first still wins. Tie the mention to the experiment being discussed.
