Find marketing clients on Reddit
Small businesses and startups ask Reddit for marketing help all the time: SEO, paid ads, social media, email, a growth lead for launch. Formal [Hiring] posts are only part of it; the bigger pool is owners asking "how do I get more customers?" in public.

Where marketing clients post on Reddit
| Community | Paid requests this week |
|---|---|
| r/forhire | 9 |
| r/slavelabour | 2 |
| r/DesignJobs | 1 |
These are the formal job posts. Many more buyers never write "[Hiring]": they ask "can anyone recommend someone for this?" in r/startups, r/smallbusiness or r/Entrepreneur.
How to win these jobs
- Give one specific, free insight about their situation. Marketers who diagnose in public get hired in private.
- Ask for their numbers (traffic, spend, conversion) before you pitch a plan.
- Offer a small first project with a measurable goal instead of a big retainer.
- Disclose that you're an agency or freelancer when you reply. Reddit punishes hidden promotion.
- Track which threads turn into clients so you know where to spend your time.
The clients who never post "[Hiring]"
Job boards are the visible part. The bigger pool is people describing the problem in their own words ("our site looks amateur", "who should I hire for this?") in the communities where they already spend time. They rarely use the keywords a search alert would catch, and the first genuinely helpful reply usually wins.
That's what Hubbub is for: it reads every new post in the communities you choose, flags the people asking for what you do, and drafts a reply in your voice. You post it from your own account.

Questions
Is it allowed to reply to [Hiring] posts on Reddit?+
Yes. [Hiring] posts exist so marketers can respond. Read each community's rules first: most want replies by comment or DM as the post says, and some require your own [For Hire] post to follow a set format.
Can marketing agencies find clients on Reddit?+
Yes, as long as they help first and disclose who they are. The best leads are owners asking how to grow, not formal job posts.
Is it spam to offer marketing services on Reddit?+
Replying to someone who asked for help, with real advice and a disclosure, isn't spam. Unsolicited DMs and copy-paste pitches are.
