How Reddit kids accidentally solved my €200K content problem


€200K in revenue.

47 pieces of viral content.

127% increase in email engagement.

All from browsing Reddit at 2:47 AM instead of working.

Fair?

Can you believe this shit?

Most entrepreneurs are recycling the same tired business advice while I'm stealing story ideas from internet kids and turning them into six-figure content strategies.

Let me show you exactly how...

Here's the thing...

I was deep in a Reddit rabbit hole when I stumbled across something that changed everything.

A content creation "cheat code" hiding in plain sight.

The Discovery That Made Me Rich:

I found a spreadsheet. 152 rows of random story prompts from Reddit writing communities.

Stuff like:

  • "You have $86,400 and someone steals $10, so you spend it all on revenge"
  • "All the rival superheroes are actually roommates"
  • "A necromancer who doesn't know they're a necromancer"

My first thought? "This is random internet nonsense."

My second thought? "Wait... these could be business stories."

That second thought was worth €200K.

Here's the proof:

  • "Someone stole my €10 idea" email: 54% open rate (used revenge spending seed)
  • "My LinkedIn post hit 50K views and I felt like shit": 51% open rate (#1 Dad ranking seed)
  • "The copycat who made me rich": 49% open rate (rival roommates seed)

Compare that to my "business advice" emails:

  • "5 Tips to Scale Your Business": 23% open rate
  • "How I Built My Agency": 19% open rate
  • "Marketing Mistakes to Avoid": 17% open rate

Fair?

The Emotional Agitation:

While you're stuck writing the same "How I scaled to 7-figures" posts that put people to sleep, Reddit kids are creating stories that make grown adults cry, laugh, and most importantly... BUY.

Here's what's really fucked up:

Every marketing guru tells you to "provide value" and "establish authority."

Meanwhile, the most engaging content on the planet comes from unemployed college students making up stories about magical lamps.

The Story Seed Method(What 99% Get Wrong)

• Step 1: Pick a Random Story Seed(Most people skip this) They try to force business stories. Wrong. Start with human stories.

Example: "You have $86,400 and someone steals $10, so you spend it all on revenge"

• Step 2: Find Your Business Connection(Where most people fail)
Don't ask "How can I make this about business?" Ask: "When have I done something this stupid in business?"

My answer: "I spent €12,000 trying to destroy a competitor who copied my €10 idea"

• Step 3: Build the Emotional Bridge(The secret sauce) Connect the absurd story to a real business lesson:

  • The revenge spending = chasing wrong metrics
  • The $10 vs $86,400 = focusing on small problems while ignoring big opportunities
  • The obsession = weaponizing ADHD hyperfocus

• Step 4: Write Like a Human, Not a Marketer(What kills most content) Start with the story, not the lesson. Let people feel it before they think it.

Business angle: Finding your unique market position when everyone's taken the obvious ones.

Here's the uncomfortable truth...

Your audience doesn't want more business advice.

They want to feel something first, then learn something.

Stories do both. Facts do neither.

The Meta Reveal:

This entire email? Built from a story seed.

The "mysterious quest nobody knows about" = finding the story seed technique.

I'm literally showing you the method while using the method.

Here's What You Get When You Reply "SEEDS":

  • All 152 Reddit story seeds (organized by business category)
  • The 7-step Story-to-Sales framework
  • 15 "high-conversion" seeds with proven business angles
  • Email templates showing exactly how I connect seeds to sales

BUT HERE'S THE CATCH:

I'm only sharing this with the first 100 people who ask.

Here's why: Reddit will catch on and ban business accounts from mining their content. We're literally stealing million-dollar story ideas from kids who think they're just having fun.

Basic game theory.

Current count: 847 people reading this email. Do the math.

The 5 Seeds You Can Use TODAY:

  1. "Everyone gets a superpower at 18, but you can't pick one someone else has" My business angle: How I found my unique market position when all the obvious niches were taken
  2. "You're the world's worst assassin because you keep saving your targets"
    My business angle: How "failing" at toxic business practices accidentally made me successful
  3. "Time travelers keep trying to kill Hitler, but they're making him stronger" My business angle: How my attempts to destroy competitors backfired and made them copy me more
  4. "You can see exactly when someone realizes they're wrong" My business angle: The moment I learned to read customer objections in real-time
  5. "All your imaginary friends from childhood were real, just invisible to adults" My business angle: The "crazy" business ideas that only work when adults stop watching

Question for you: Which of these five seeds immediately sparked a business story in your head? That's the one you should write first.

Pick one. Find your connection. Write your story. Watch your engagement explode.
