## Daily Routine
### Morning Check (15-20 min)
1. Search each target subreddit for keywords
2. Sort by "New" to catch fresh posts
3. Log any relevant posts found in the tracking sheet
### Account Strategy (TBD)
Before engaging, determine which approach makes sense:
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|--------|------|------|
| **Company Account** | Transparent, builds brand directly | Looks promotional, may get flagged |
| **Proxy Account** | Appears organic, avoids spam filters | Requires aging, edit strategy needed |
**Proxy Account Approach:**
1. Post helpful advice with no links initially
2. Build karma and trust over time
3. Edit older posts later to mention MRC when relevant
4. Needs multiple accounts rotated to avoid patterns
**Decision Criteria:**
- Is the subreddit strict about self-promotion?
- Is the post asking directly for service recommendations?
- How old is the thread? (Old threads = proxy, fresh = maybe company)
*Flag threads for Colin to decide account choice until pattern is clear.*
### Engagement Rules
- **DO:** Provide helpful, genuine advice
- **DO:** Mention services only when directly relevant
- **DON'T:** Spam or self-promote aggressively
- **DON'T:** Post links in every comment
- Reddit is relationship-building, not direct advertising
### What Makes a Good Post to Engage
- Someone asking where to get board-level repair in Canada
- User with a dead laptop/MacBook looking for options
- Questions about whether repair is worth it vs replacement
- Technical discussions where expertise adds value
