Ran the same offer through Meta paid (5k budget) and through 30 days of consistent value-driven Reddit/Quora answers (zero budget). The organic channel produced 3.4x more qualified demos.

The twist: every agency I pitched said "Reddit doesn't scale". They mean "we can't bill retainer for it".

Anyone here actually running organic forum-driven funnels at scale? What's the real ceiling before it stops working?
