[Deleted member 977120]

Alright, here's today's update:

30th of March - 15,283 (+481)

I'll try to group my updates together if I don't have something more to say, but let's just make this a habit first.
Slow day yesterday

Have you already monetized this sub somehow or any plans on how you gonna monetize it.

For the time-being, I'm focusing on growth only. Having subreddits is quite valuable on its own.

Awesome progress! It's also always a great idea to log your progression, even graph it sometimes, so that we're reminded how far we've come!

Nice journey, following along mate good luck

That’s a fast growth. Do you have any tips on what not to do? Have you found any limits on the number of posts/crossposts per hour/day?

Good, honestly, for not doing much. Still waiting on a few things before I go higher than this.

It's more about quality, honestly. If you're better at targeting, you'll hit much higher numbers real quick.

Alright, here's today's update:

2nd of April - 18,400 (+1,440)

I'm so happy with this so far. It shows that once we hit the 100k mark, growth is going to be insane.
Let's show bhw one hell of a journey thread? I'm in.

Bit slow on the weekend but still going. Will probably prepare a couple more stuff that should help me grow this even more in ten days or so.

What does having a subreddit actually get you though? The biggest benefit I immediately see is that you can plug your own site (and this is only if you're the sole mod). That's cool but it seems like there are more effective ways to drive traffic. Aside from that, I can imagine mod status goes for quite a bit on the bigger subs but probably not on NSFW subs.

Traffic (ads or CPA) or sell the sub (lucrative).

What's the price of a sub per 1k followers?

Hi, I like your work. The daily updates are very impressive.

I will shoot a few questions, completely up to you if you want to answer.

Are you boosting your posts with paid upvotes?

Is it better to crosspost to one big subreddit, or many small ones?

How many crossposts per posts?

What is your opinion on expanding by creating a network of many niche specific subreddits vs. focusing on one general subreddit?

Is it worth to post directly to a subreddit and not to crosspost once in a while?

Good luck!

I don't really know a fixed rate for subs

Thanks a lot for the nice words, seemed like no one cared.. lol

- No paid upvotes, I do them myself.

- I prefer quality over quantity. If you land a 1st page post on a massive sub, you're in for a real treat.

- networks are nice.. with tweaks.

- If you need more karma, go for it.

Hope that helps!

Awesome, thanks.

I am at 15K with a daily growth of 200 members. My crossposts get lost in new and I only own a single subreddit. Always figured these 2 are the main reasons I am not growing too rapidly. Wish I had the time to invest in an automatised Reddit army which behave like actual porn lurkers, upvoting posts here and there... with a slight preference towards my crossposts.

Alright, here's yet another update:

5th of April - 20,012 (+342)

6th of April - 20,315 (+303)

Slow days but still going.

Nice! Congrats on crossing 20K.
