Subreddit participation
It helps avoid comments that look like promotion before they look like participation.
AI reply prompt
Reddit comment prompt
A strong Reddit comment prompt should tell the model to answer the thread before mentioning anything you sell. It should ask for a useful explanation, one respectful caveat, and an optional next step only if the subreddit context makes it appropriate. TypeToSell treats Reddit as useful-first by default and keeps the user in charge of editing and posting the final comment manually.
Last updated: July 11, 2026. Prompts are draft guidance only; final social posting stays manual.
Copyable prompt
Use this prompt as a starting point
Write 3 Reddit comment drafts for this thread: [paste thread or comment]. First answer the actual question or problem. Do not lead with my product, link, profile, or CTA. If a next step is appropriate, make it optional and place it after the useful answer. Include one version that is purely helpful, one that asks a clarifying question, and one that mentions my angle only if the thread explicitly asks for a tool, workflow, or example. No fake proof, no hype, no auto-posting.
Prompt purpose
When this prompt should be used
Use this prompt when Reddit context matters and a normal marketing reply would sound too promotional. It protects the useful-first standard and gives the writer options that can stand without a CTA.
Best for
Where this prompt is strongest
Founder problem-solving

Manual approval safety
It makes the human review step explicit before a public Reddit comment is posted.
Inputs
What the prompt needs
Source post
Paste only the visible public post, comment, or thread context that the reply should answer.
Your offer
Add the saved product, audience, website, or soft CTA only when the source post makes a next step relevant.
Tone boundary
State whether the reply should be concise, warm, technical, useful-first, skeptical, or founder-like.
Manual review
Tell the model that the user will edit and post manually, and that it must not imply auto-posting.
Usage steps
How to use the prompt safely
Paste the visible context
Start with the exact post or comment so the reply can mention something specific instead of sounding generic.
Ask for three angles
Request a trust-building reply, a conversation-starting reply, and a natural next-step reply so the output is not three rewrites of one idea.
Remove unsupported proof
Delete invented results, fake customer claims, fake links, pricing, testimonials, platform approvals, or statistics that were not provided.
Pick one and edit
Choose the strongest draft, adjust facts and voice, then post manually in the social app or browser composer.
Save what worked
If a prompt consistently creates useful replies, turn the language into a saved TypeToSell Marketing Brain rule.
Platform rules
How the prompt adapts by social surface
X replies
Keep the reply concise, specific, and easy to read. Use a soft CTA only when the post shows problem awareness or buying intent.
Reddit comments
Answer the thread first. Do not lead with a product, profile visit, or link unless the community context clearly asks for it.
Facebook comments
Use warmer language, avoid sounding like a bot, and keep the next step conversational rather than transactional.
Manual posting
The prompt should create editable draft text only, preserve the no-auto-posting boundary, and leave the final Reply, Post, or Comment button to the user.
Mobile surface fit

A good Reddit prompt asks the model to answer the thread first and make any CTA optional.
