Revenue Proof Methods (Ranked by Credibility)
- Stripe public profile links —
profile.stripe.com/growreach/[hash]— most credible, free, Stripe-verified - trustmrr.com links —
trustmrr.com/startup/growreach— third-party verified - Stripe dashboard screenshot — standard, but can be faked
- Revenue numbers in post text — least credible alone, but non-round numbers (e.g., 1,800) signal real tracking
Post Timing
- Best: 8-10 AM EST, Tuesday-Thursday
- Avoid: Weekends for SaaS content (r/SaaS, r/micro_saas are dead on weekends)
- Cross-post timing: Space 2-5 days between subreddits (Downtown_Pudding9728’s proven cadence)
