Never get flaggedReddit Marketing Mistakes Course Creators Make
Avoid these pitfalls to build a sustainable Reddit presence
Mistake #1: Pitching constantly
Every answer ending with "I have a course on this" feels predatory, especially on learning subreddits.
Help first, completely. Let your profile mention your course. People who want more depth will find it.
Mistake #2: Shallow answers
One-line responses do not demonstrate teaching ability. Anyone can do that.
Give detailed, structured explanations. Show how you break down concepts. Your teaching style is your differentiator.
Mistake #3: Ignoring free content balance
If all your free content is surface-level, people assume your course is too.
Give genuinely valuable free content. Deep free content builds trust that your paid content is even better.
Mistake #4: Wrong community focus
Marketing your course in course-creator communities means pitching to competitors.
Find where your students learn. A Python course creator should be in r/learnpython, not r/coursecreators.
Reddit Radar helps you avoid these mistakes automatically
Health score tracking, warmup reminders, and anti-spam content guidelines built in.
