Does Anyone Use Reddit for Lead Gen

Question

Just curious.  I'm new in m journey and on a budget.  I've spent the last year or so learning everything I can.  I'm finally confident enough (and finally got my wife on board) to start making moves.  I'm on a budget, so looking to maximize the use of all the free/cheap lead gen tactics (driving for dollars, county assessor, title company, wholesalers, etc).  I've not spent much time on Reddit, but I've heard it's become the #1 visited site.  So I figured with that many eyeballs, and so many valuable subreddit forums, this might be another good place to generate leads.  Any thoughts?  Someone also told me that advertising on Reddit can be effective and as cheap as $5/day.  Is that true?

Most motivated sellers are over the age of 40, and the vast majority of those are over the age of 50. That's not your typical user profile of Reddit.

now, if you're looking for referrals or bird dogs  there might be some communities on Reddit that can bring you leads.  I guess right now I'm just not seeing how that Would work out.

I've played around with Reddit a bit... but not with regard to buying ads. My approach was to be an active user of the local subreddit, to post to relevant things being talked about and careful not to appear as a marketing tool posting just to post. The newer interface of Reddit allows you to actually create a profile so that is a thing to use as promotion, maybe a username that is obvious as to what you do so people curious can click to your profile etc. If you're obviously posting to market, the hivemind/community will vote you down and you will be seen as just a marketer. As always just bring value. Reddit can be time consuming so there is that to consider.
