First thing, are you having an account on Reddit. Login to Reddit to understand how it works. Reddit is a social news platform that allows users to submit their content and discuss and vote on content that other users have submitted.  There are small communities called subreddits which bring people of the same interests together.

Users who post or comment earn karma points when their content gets voted up or upvoted.

Now let’s discuss how can you promote your content on Reddit.

1. Be an active member first

Just do not create an account and start promoting your business. People will not have trust in you with a few posts and upvotes. Understand your audience first, engage in conversations and jokes. Be an active member, not an irregular member.

2. Take Less Give More

I know I am asking you to do this. Don’t just join Reddit with the intention of benefiting only but learn to give others the benefit first. Remember gaining an audience is what you are looking for in the beginning. Less self-promotion is appreciated. Engage in community conversations and upvote. Give feedback to others, talk about issues that interest you and be a good member of Reddit.

3. Keep your content more relevant to Users

You need to do some kind of research and identify which type of posts gain interests and traffic. The only way to gain traffic is by creating content that is relevant to users. Don’t use many self-promotional links on your content. You may be considered as spam. Draw your audience’s attention through interesting and quality facts in your content. Don’t just copy paste a Facebook Ad content.

4. Create a profile that feels Real

Don’t create a profile that looks like that of a Marketer. Create a profile that makes you look like a real person. Collect” karma” points to prove that you are not after promotion only. 

Don’t target a single subreddit but interact with as many as you can, which draws your interests too.

A real profile will help you from getting banned.

5. Use Reddit Ads
