Address the Concerns of the Community Before They Have Them This was from a single post.įollow these steps and they will allow you to keep a positive reputation on reddit and sustain the above results. Here’s a screenshot of the reddit traffic my first week helping promote this site. That’s not bad traffic ROI for only spending 3 minutes. I’ll be modest and say that it took me a minute to create each post. Reddit never existed as a traffic source for this site before I began applying these techniques.ĭo you know what it took to get those 1,104 clicks from reddit? Drumroll please… Not to mention “having fun” on subreddits relevant to your niche will give you a sense of what posts are popular there, so you can model them to create popular posts of your own.įollowing the above guidelines has allowed me to achieve these results to the site that I am working with now. If you have a good amount of normal posts, you will prove them wrong!

Build up your karma points by posting helpful or funny comments on other posts.ĭoes this mean that you’re going to have to spend hours on end seemingly wasting time on the site?Īll it takes is about 10 minutes a week talking about your favorite subjects or commenting on some of those funny GIF images.

When you log in to your analytics account and see that spike in traffic and realize: “Oh yeah, I posted on reddit – and it only took me 2 seconds!” What they think of it (either upvote or down vote) will dictate your results. Wherever you post your article, reddit users are going to click on it to check it out. Only post content that is in-depth, unique, well-written, helpful and helps people take action. It will also get down-voted and you’ll lose any valuable reputation points (karma) that you have. Short and generic content will not perform well. This will ensure that you’re in touch with what your audience wants, while saving you a ton of time in the long run. If the end goal of your site is to sell a product or get social media followers, you will need to do some customer development first. Then you will be more equipped to create a popular post of your own. This requires you to do a little bit of research into your subreddit and see what kinds of posts are already popular. Avoid posting content that addresses too broad of an audience. This means that the more that you can tailor your posts to the subreddit that you’re posting in, the better. If you want to get large amounts of traffic from reddit, you have to keep your posts highly relevant to the users.
