Learn where people go for information they can count on, and about the advertising solutions Reddit offers marketers to reach them there.
The amount of finance content out there is overwhelming. Since 2008, and the rapid digitization of the financial service industry, people aren’t sure where to get information they can trust.
People come to Reddit to have in-depth discussions on all sorts of fin-serv topics in one place; whether it’s stock research, entrepreneurial funding tips, or learning how to make a monthly budget.
Reddit users are anonymous, which makes them comfortable sharing personal details they’d share with a financial advisor. They can then seek advice on anything from paying taxes to refinancing a house.
About 7 years ago I was a broke student with a useless degree. Last year, I exited my ecommerce business for a mid 7-figure valuation. I just wanted to share the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
