Why it works

Amazing title and hook.

"I Built a 7-Figure Handmade Business, Ran It for 10 Years, Then Closed It—Ask Me Anything." You see that and have to know why.

Then, she doesn’t say exactly why.

"Financially, it wasn’t able to continue (there are many reasons, but we can leave that for the AMA)."

She gives just enough detail to come off legit -- but the real story is in the COMMENTS. More comments = more reach = more time spent on the post. And that’s exactly how you win on Reddit.

At the end, she mentions what she’s working on now and tells people to Google it (instead of dropping a link, which Reddit hates). Really smart.
