The 3-Directive Playbook

Most analytics tools present you with a wall of graphs, pie charts, and tables, leaving you to ask: "Okay, so what do I actually write tomorrow?"

DistriDash rejects passive dashboards. Instead, it turns your post conversion numbers into three plain-English weekly directives:


1. 🟢 Double Down

These are the exact message formats, channels, and posting windows that produce the highest revenue per hour spent.

When you see a Double Down recommendation, it means the data has proven this combination reliably makes money.

Example in your playbook:
"Pain-first founder stories in r/SaaS with a specific dollar figure in the title, posted Tuesday mornings, average $412 in revenue per post. Double down here this week."


2. 🟡 Test Next

These are promising creative angles that showed early buying intent, but need 1 or 2 more posts to confirm the pattern before you make them a regular habit.

Example in your playbook:
"Original data posts in r/webdev generated strong visitor interest and 1 paid annual customer from 2 attempts. Worth running 2 more experiments before promoting to your core playbook."


3. 🔴 Stop Doing

Knowing what not to do saves more founder time than anything else.

These are formats that may generate clicks, likes, or upvotes, but consistently result in zero revenue.

Example in your playbook:
"Direct feature announcements on Hacker News have generated 6 posts, 14,000 visitors, and $0 in Stripe revenue. Stop spending time on this angle."


A Real-World Story: Comparing Two Posts

To see how this works in practice, imagine you published two Reddit posts last week:

Post A (In r/SaaS)

  • Title: "We hit $9,000 MRR in 12 months. Here is the exact organic stack we used."
  • Format: Founder Story + Data Breakdown.
  • Engagement: 1,200 visitors, 87 signups, 12 paying customers.
  • Result: $348 in revenue for 3 hours of work.

Post B (In r/startups)

  • Title: "How do you all handle organic marketing attribution?"
  • Format: General Discussion Question.
  • Engagement: 400 visitors, 6 signups, 0 paying customers.
  • Result: $0 in revenue for 1 hour of work.

What DistriDash Tells You After 15 Posts

Once you have a steady stream of posts logged, DistriDash looks across all your data and reveals:

  • Posts with a specific number in the title average $290 per post, while posts without a number average $34.
  • Posts in r/SaaS generate 4.1x more revenue per visitor than posts in r/startups.
  • Replying to comments within the first 30 minutes increases downstream conversions by 2.7x.

The repeatable formula isn't just "post on Reddit". It is:

Specific number + Founder struggle + r/SaaS + Tuesday morning + Fast comment replies.

That is a repeatable business playbook you can rely on every single week.
