How 75 reddit r/startups gained $112,500 in marketing insights from Maestrix within 14 hours.

May 8, 2024

Last Sunday I was hanging out on the subreddit r/startups and decided to do this marathon marketing analysis session using Maestrix.

The plan was to let any Redditor submit their startup or product idea, and I'd crank out a full marketing strategy in under 10 minutes.

Reddit is the perfect place for something like this. It has such active niche communities, it's an ideal way to quickly get feedback and gauge public opinion on ideas.

The upvote/downvote system gives you an instant "heat" indicator to see how much traction something is getting with users - way more insight than you'd get elsewhere.

And the response was nuts.

I ended up doing 75 different projects back-to-back over (almost) 14 hours straight. It was like an ultimate stress test for Maestrix to see if it could handle that kind of volume and still give high-quality analysis.

For each idea submitted, Maestrix had to:

  • map out the whole market landscape, understand the category, identify direct competitors, and pinpoint what unique selling points and differentiated benefits set that product apart.
  • dive deep into customer personas - not just demographics, but behaviors, motivations, pain points, jobs-to-be-done, the whole nine yards on the target audience.
  • suggest creative messaging angles matched to the value prop, whip up some snappy 5-word billboard phrasings, and craft thought-provoking statements to capture attention.

I was impressed by how well it performed under that intensity. The analysis were consistently delivering without a glitch and on-point even after hours of nonstop requests. r/startups loved it, showering it with praise in the comments.

Pay-it-forward ❤️

When you think of it, the efficiency metrics are also mind-blowing.

Normally, that level of in-depth marketing analysis from a traditional agency would take 2 weeks per project and cost around $1,500.

But with Maestrix, each one was done in about 5 minutes for a tiny fraction of the cost. We're talking 99.9% time saved and cost reduction per project!
