You ignore Reddit.

But that's how I find trends before you:

-------

1. Go to Reddit. Find a relevant post in your niche.

2. Add /.json to the end of that URL.

3. Copy metadata (it has entire thread with replies).

4. Go to Grok to extract pain, limitations & needs.

5. Copy this Grok prompt (paste the meta data):

6. Use this prompt guide: ruben.substack.com/p/re…

Prompt:

Here's the JSON of a Reddit conversation around: "[REDDIT POST TOPIC]". Extract the pain points, make 5 viral hooks (2 lines in one hook) on the same.

The viral hooks should be on the same format, style and tone as these 3 hooks that got results.

///Hook 1
[paste a good hook example]
///Hook 2
[paste a good hook example]
///Hook 3
[paste a good hook example]

JSON: [REDDIT META DATA]

7. Go to Claude to turn the pain into a Linkedin post.

8. Copy this Claude prompt (+ grok's answer):

9. Use this prompt guide: ruben.substack.com/p/op…

Prompt:

Act like a LinkedIn ghostwriter who writes posts that get saved + shared.

Goal: Create 5 LinkedIn posts on the new topic.

Use my 4 example LinkedIn posts below that are the most viral ones on linkedin, ever. You must match their structure, pacing, formatting (short lines + whitespace + listical), and “voice” — but the ideas, wording, and hooks must be NEW.

Rules:
- Each post starts with a strong 2-line hook.
- Keep it skimmable
- With 1 clear takeaway + 1 framework (steps)
- End with a CTA that "Repost for others to ......."
- No fluff, no generic advice, no repeated angles across posts.
- Do NOT copy phrases or lines from the examples.

Here are the 4 example posts (study them first):
///Example Post 1
[PASTE POST]
///Example Post 2
[PASTE POST]
///Example Post 3
[PASTE POST]
///Example Post 4
[PASTE POST]

Now write 5 new posts about: [TOPIC]

People already told you what to write. Now go find it.
