I'm farily new to Reddit, and it didn't click for me.
Traffic appears to be great, and I'd love to scale up my presence there by having an active subreddit of my own.
Any tips on how to grow it?

Don't get me wrong, It's nice having some quality time with myself, but that's not why I created this subreddit.
 
I don't think it's worth it. Growing a subreddit is a very hard and time-consuming task. Better to engage in an existing subreddit enough to the point the mods add you as a mod as well

Good luck!
 
Few years ago, I have been in the subreddit marketing but it is very difficult to make money from subreddit untill you got something of your own to sell or market

hey bro, you can create a piece of header art that represents your subreddit and upload it via your subreddit settings
 
I go into detail in my tutorial regarding subreddit growth, but don't listen to anyone saying crossposting is the answer. Crossposting won't do much for a subreddit unless you are automating it and can post tens of thousands of submissions/day. Even then, Reddit will keep playing whack-a-mole with your accounts and subs. Your best bet is to mention your subreddit in comments. There's still an art to it if you want to get meaningful traffic though.

I'll look into it. Can you share a link?
 
just market it to those interested. Try finding groups then sharing it to them.

Reddit is a great place to start talking and improving your passion. Following are things you can include to improve and grow your Reddit:

1) As an active Redditor, you need to be on the lookout for hot topic or topics that are almost similar to the one your subreddit promotes. Things then become easier for your subreddit because all you simply need to do is to drop your link for other Redditors to subscribe. The simplest way is to sign up on TrackReddit and this tool will do all the work for you in analyzing new comments as it underpins keywords related to the topic on your page.

On top of this strategy, you can always contact mods of other subreddits similar to yours to link your page with theirs. This is a way to increase traffic to both pages and earn more subscribers so you really need to know how to convince them.

2) Another way to grow your subreddit is to make your link available in larger subreddits that share the same ideologies like yours. You will need a small explanation to convince users to subscribe to your page but do not overdo it because you stand a chance of being banned. The more subscribers a subreddit have, the more you are likely to get people following your link, should you follow the rules.

3) Set up your subreddit to be invigorating, exciting and talks about a relevant topic. Once you select your subreddit title, try and allow only contents that support your theme. Make sure you stay on topic and not just include every hot topic on your page. For example, if you set your page to talk on movie celebrities, do not jump to topics on sports celebrities just because it may be a hot topic at the moment.

4) You can also grow your subreddit by creating backlinks that lead readers or participants to your page. The way to do this is through doing enough research and participating in forums or websites that promote similar topics. If your page is all about cars, you would want to participate in forums/discussions or leave comments on youtube videos that are most viewed. Then, simply leave a link to your Reddit page and make sure your content is relevant to the initial page/website.


5) Buy some authentic service that will help you grow your Reddit account. Then it will be more fun spend some time on your reddit
 
One of the most powerful ways to grow a subreddit very quickly is to simply cross-post.

But the key here is to establish subreddits that are in your niche.

You also have to spend time crafting "cover content" that would position the link that you are cross-posting.

You can't be lazy about this.

You can't just copy and paste the same text to a shortlist of subreddits.

Eventually, you're probably going to get banned.

It also makes your subreddit look spammy or cheap.

Spend some time positioning your content and emotionally engaging people so they would have a good reason to give your link a shot.
