My tips:

• Use a personal Reddit account (as long as you have nothing to hide). Business accounts are not personal and will immediately be flagged by the community as spam.
• Be empathetic! No one likes to see ads, let alone the same ad 100+ times. Your ad campaign should evolve over time. Build a narrative through it. I went from marketing taglines to apologizing for the ad and showing a cat within 3 weeks. The latter was the best converting by far.
• Engage the community in the comments section of your ad. Adds to the level of transparency that you offer (you're a human, too), even if the engagement is mostly negative.
• Launch with a few ad variations - image / no image / short text / long text / etc

Services like BuiltWith and NerdyData allow you to identify websites that use specific technologies. If you know the technologies that your target market uses, you can leverage these services to find people who may be interested in your product, along with their approximate spend and traffic volume. And if your competitor's product is a technology that is inserted into websites, you can even find out exactly who their customers are. Use the information you garner to identify quality prospects, then find a contact person on LinkedIn or track down an email address on services like Hunter. Reach out and let them know how your product could be a perfect fit for their company.

Grammarly does a lot more than identifying grammar and spelling mistakes; it also offers detailed writing enhancements focused on clarity, conciseness, and tone. It's just like having a full-time editor.

• Learning includes understanding, remembering, and applying knowledge in different situations (transfer).
• Ask yourself these important questions: why do you want to learn? How much do you want to learn? What do you want to achieve with t11his knowledge?
• Having an environment free of distraction and applying the 5 minutes rule can help you to get started.
• Choose the learning material considered good by the majority of your peers.
• Go through it, and try to practice the knowledge gained as soon as you can.
• Test your new knowledge to be sure you really learned it, and to bring the new knowledge in your long term memory.
• Seek internal and external feedback. Train yourself to squeeze as much as you can from them.
