How it works

  1. Step 1

    Search themes and tags

    Tumblr runs on tags - combine your niche with problem and recommendation phrasing.

  2. Step 2

    Match the tone

    Tumblr is allergic to corporate speak. Show up as a person or not at all.

  3. Step 3

    Compare with Reddit

    See whether your niche is more active on Tumblr or Reddit in one query.
