On Tuesday I bought chat gpt and started creating some scripts. I wanted to scrape subreddits and their data to my Airtable.
I managed to scrape 500 subreddits by writing a code that scrapes the subreddits that a certain user posted in. I did that so I could pick a model that looks like mine and get a better list that might fit my model’s niche. I also added some info that I’ve needed (Description, Subscribers, URL and 100 Post Titles scraped from the top 30 posts in the subreddit). I currently run 2 accounts for my model. One is posting in 28 subreddits and we’re boosting 8 posts. The other one I want it to post in 250 subreddits per day (or is that too much, i wanted to do this because i saw a reddit account successfully running 250 subreddits per day). I want to automate the other one.So I also scrape the images from imgur to the Airtable.

Bot Setup
- post in each subreddit 1x per day
- take a random title for the post title from the scraped list
- for link use the Imgur Link in another table.
- so Subreddits are in different niches and what I’m doing now is tagging every subreddit as to which body part i can post there(5 tags for now) and I will also manually tag rach image in the table so it will know to choose a correct image
- i will add a random wait time between each post submission (1-3min)
- i will add a filter to never post the same link in a subreddit
- i will add a proxy as well

Conclusion
Maybe I missed something, It’s 2am here. I have trouble running it, but I’m going to try more tomorrow. I’d love to get some feedback if I’m on the right track and if it’s even worth creating such a bot or am I going to get flagged instantly. I also want to create a mass DM bot, but I had some problems connecting to the API? I wanted to dm subreddit’s subscribers.
 
You'll need older Reddit accounts for large groups. Since many only share posts when your account is not new.
 
Shoot me a PM with your contacts I would love to help you out! I was doing this last year and it's a real pain when you are starting off

Yes I know this but thank you.

You can do anything, farm some good accounts first.
 
What prompts you used and what scripts did you make in ChatGPT? You didn't get ChatGPT restrictions for this project?

No I didn't get restriced. I am such a noob i dont even know what prompt meansI was able to sucessfully create scripts: scrape subreddits from users posts, same for crossposts, then scrape the subreddit data from airtable field 'Names' [subreddit name] and add its dat to other fields. I also scraped 100 top titles for each subreddit. And maybe some other stuff, i am going crazy from not sleeping enough and just starring at my computer screen.

I switched to Integromat. It's running successfully, posting to 30 subreddits per account. I have 10 accounts running and I am setting up another 10 today, and next weeek 10 more. I scraped a lot of subreddits with python scripts, but would love to scrape more of them if I knew how to set up a VPS, because I am making requests to a public JSON reddit api. The bot is bringing decent results, but I have to fully optimize it. I will post a description here:

Reddit Posting Bot


So this is what I’ve been focusing on these 2 weeks. I built a bot that posts by making API requests. This is a really safe method of posting but you will not be able to really spam with this. I can post to 30 subreddits daily per account, and I’ve currently set up 10 accounts. The goal is to setup 20 accounts per model and target 600 subreddits. I am still tweaking the bot as there is a lot of new things and errors that keep popping out. The bot is really well made since all I have to do is basically provide only 20 different links per day. I have designed a nice error handling system. Titles and flairs are also automatically chosen. When i make the bot bulletproof I will start offering it as a service to fellow agencies. I did some tests and posting in 150 subreddits got us 6 subscribers daily. This is without boosting the posts and posting in only smaller subreddits. I believe I can reach 20-30 paid subscriptions daily with this method that’s fully automated.


Scraping Bot


I am also going to be making a scraping bot which I already created and is working fine but I have to automate it for the best results.


Expenses


  • I have found a cheaper upvote service but will definetly be looking to make my own as well.



Other Stuff


  • I also have a DM bot now but I tested it briefly and it didn’t work quite well. I think I have to test again on a wider range.

I used Integromat for reddit account warmup whereby it would do random posting and random comments I don't know why this never came to me to also use it for posting content.

I have been using social rise however only posting once per day in 13 subreddits led to my accounts being flagged as spam and all content being deleted.

With the content you post are you posting the same content more than once a day on each account and just getting a new Redgifs link?
If so how much content is there? E.g., 10 pieces of unique content all being posted 3 times a day per account.

I have been working on cracking reddit or a while now and would be great if we can share some knowledge. I also run a reddit bot on a VPS so I can help you with this!
 
You have a good strategy. You should focus on posting less with single accounts, instead spread your posts through multiple accounts, this will be much safer. Also don't post content unrelated to the target surbeddits as you will get reported and reddit admins will ban all your accs.

If you're interested in upvotes, contact me.
