Growing a Profitable Subreddit - Deep Dive on Reddit Journey

[SocialManager]

Good luck. I'm in a journey to make a Reddit empire too. So I'm following your journey closely.

5 accounts per IP, I didn't know that. Thanks

You can actually create 500 accounts per IP for reddit (or a million). I have done it. However, they are not as useful because your upvotes won't stick with the same IP address. So, you can like bulk create accounts if you want on the same IP, and then let them age and just use 1 at a time to build them up with karma and then move them over to a proxy later when you have money to invest in proxies.

About crossposting, this works better in some niches. You will have to research, however the subs that accepts crossposting are easy to spot.

When i started my sub a year ago(nsfw) all i did was making good posts and crossposting as much as i could. Somedays i could get up to 1000 members. Im guessing it will be harder in sfw niches but i think this is the way to go if you want to get the best results.
Good luck!

I know that this is a huge deal in NSFW. But honestly if I am able to pull in 200ish a day I would be happy with that. It will start to add up over time. Obviously I would love to reach those 1K subs per day numbers but I am not sure what niche other than Adult is going to pull those number and I don't like adult for monetization. I wish I knew it better though.

Last time I saw you post something I was still a long time Lurker. Glad to see you back buddy. I appreciate your thread.

Thanks Brah! I have been off and on the forum for 12ish years lol.

So when you build these accounts, can you use them for crossposting? I am interesting in account creation and have the money for proxies now. Can you answer me some questions either here or on DM about account creation?

I think you have to join them and then attempt to crosspost to them and it will be grayed out if you aren't able to...correct?

I have learned a shit ton in a short amount of time. I am currently learning how to kill it on karma. This is what I have learned in growing Karma fast.

1. Find subreddits that are made for karma harvesting. You can also go to the Awww section of Reddit and post cute pics there.
2. You also need comment karma. This means you are going to have to comment beg and get people to like your comments as well.

I found a few subreddits that I can harvest upvotes for and am posting images in there to get upvotes. In the subreddits that you are mining free karma, I am commenting on every new post telling them that i have upvoted their comment and asking for them to upvote me back.





I haven't quite gotten the hang of this enough to bring in 300 upvotes a day like I have seen others do. I am guessing after dong this for a couple of weeks you naturally become a master at this.

I think my main focus for right now is going to be karma harvesting and account creation. I was told in a comment above that you can create as many accounts as you wish but the upvotes dont work on the same IP. I am going to start karma harvesting on these accounts so I can use them to crosspost later.

I think you are referring to old.reddit function, where you can crosspost only subs you joined.
You can skip that joining part using the new reddit.

Otherwise, as far as I know you only find out if you can crosspost if you try. You could also read each sub rules, but those could be outdated or not written.

If you are in the nsfw niche, it shouldn't be hard to get tons of karma with a few pics.

Other than that, choose big 'cute' reddits like those you mentioned, find top posts older than 6-12 months and repost. Easy karma.

I don't wanna use for upvotes. I can use various accounts in the same IP to crosspost in various subreddits?

In theory as per reddit rules you are allowed to have multiple accounts... as long as they are not used to game the system.
As I haven't tried for crossposting I can't say for sure, I just assume that it could be safe. Test is and check the subs and accounts incognito to make sure you are not being ghosted.

There are a few things which are a bit different now on reddit.
1. I used to create accounts, then post on awww (old popular images using waybackmachine) but not anymore... A few weeks ago, I got shadow banned and awww post deleted for posting right after registration.
2. As for the karma... now reddit gives these free coins to award so it's easy to grow karma if you have a long term project.
3. In my niche, the biggest subreddits don't allow crossposting.
4. I use tor and have 10+ reddit accounts and have no problem but I don't post that much so I guess my accounts don't get flagged.
5. With crossposting I expect you'll be banned from some subreddits so it's nice to have many accounts to use for crossposting.
Overall, I find it hard to grow a subreddit in my niche but it barely takes me any time so it's ok.

I’m guessing you let the new accounts sit for a while before posting on them then?
I’m guessing most of the big subreddits aren’t going to allow cross posting. As long as I have a ton of subreddits that do allow it I think that will be ok.
I don’t know anything about coins or how they work. I’ll have to look into that.
you have 10 accounts but you don’t post that much? What do you use them for?
your last statement was confusing. Is it hard or not to grow a subreddit for you?

1. Next to your username it has "get coins" button, I think twice a week reddit gives me free awards to give others and you get karma for giving (and receiving) awards so I can award others and get karma.
2. I will test posting to very small subreddits and see what traffic I get from them. It's all about testing when it comes to IM.
3. For now, I use about 5 accounts to promote my subreddit (the rest are for other tests). Even if I get banned from some subreddits (which is rare), I have enough accounts to crosspost and can easily open new accounts.
4. I find it hard to grow my subreddit but when I cross post just once a day I get 10-20 new subs. TBH, it's my test project so I spend like 10 mins a day (or even less). Crossposting takes time as you have to do it manually one by one.

PS: I wish there was a way to find out how many visitors my subreddit gets from search engines.

How many subs does your subreddit have? How much does it grow each day?
I’m also looking into a niche that can spawn several subreddits from it. Something like outdoors. You can create hiking, camping, canoeing, etc. from the outdoors niche.

Yes you can use for crossposting with the same IP. As noted, reddit allows you to have multiple accounts. If you face an IP ban for spamming (VERY rare) then all your accounts using the IP could be banned, but otherwise it is no problem. Crossposting is a normal reddit feature and it is normal to use a different account for this purpose. You are not violating any rules with this. With account creation, I just find a disposable email service that works with reddit (might have to try a few because they block many) and create an account inconito mode.

Incognition browser manager is a good tool for this (10 browser profiles free).

I was into reddit a few months ago, here are a few tips if they can help you start:
- you can use imacro to automate accounts creation easily
- datacenters rotating proxies work well for account creation
- I used freshly created accounts to upvote my posts and it worked great as long as you are using clean ips
- if you post a link, always look at your post from another account to see if the post has not been shadow banned.
- There are websites that show you old reddit posts sorted by popularity over the past years, you can copy them and repost them to get huge karma. Works great in any big sub (r/funny, aww, ask reddit, etc) you can get 10k karma in a few hours.

Wish you all the best, you shared a lot in this forum thank you for this mate.

Good Luck
I want to do the same. I hope this journey will help me to get some idea about Reddit.

How many subs does your subreddit have? How much does it grow each day?
I’m also looking into a niche that can spawn several subreddits from it. Something like outdoors. You can create hiking, camping, canoeing, etc. from the outdoors niche.

I have about 900 subs and if I don't post then it grows 3-5 a day, if I post just once a day I get 10-25 new subs.
But as I said I spent less then 10 mins a day on it mainly deleting spam.
So if you crosspost more aggressively, you'll obviously get more subs.
I think the most time consuming task is finding relevant subreddits which allow crossposts.

PS: I also think, timing of crossposting plays an important role as you need to crosspost when most of your audience is online/reddit.

Tools like redditlist.com might come in handy, Best of luck!

Reddit is a traffic goldmine for sure. I tried Reddit a few years back and got some amazing traffic to my site but due to another work I never concentrated on it.
Let's see your results in this journey.

 

[share4win]

Seems like an interesting journey and ofc here we've very few journey threads focusing on Reddit traffic. All the best to reach your goals and subscribed to obtain some knowledge about Reddit tricks

 

[Chepe]

Reddit is still a goldmine but you need to think of unique twists if you want to earn some cash. Spamming wont to the trick anymore.
