This is why ‘the other guys’ are terrible at getting traffic from reddit. This is possibly the most important point on the list that impatient marketers overlook. This means that if you just posted a link in a subreddit, let it rest for a while! I usually wait 2 weeks to a month before I post another link of my own in the same subreddit. Usually the next natural thought is “I should be doing this all the time!”īut that’s where you can get yourself in trouble. 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.
