How Can I Monetise r/Kenya?

[BrightShadow]

I am a moderator but can’t see a way to monetise this subreddit. The sub has 140k members

I recommend not starting a thread telling the world you're trying to monetize a specific subreddit.

Look for a product/service that is related or solve problems in that niche!

I had a subreddit, and I monetized it by posting affiliate links of people who paid for this service.

Travel offers

If you're in a major city, you could sell pinned posts of local merchants. Go to them and show them what you have on Reddit and show the traffic numbers. Strike a realistic deal and they'll keep coming back if the traffic is good.

Most people would visit this subreddit before visiting Kenya, maybe post links with reliable accommodation or local SIM cards, think of something Kenyan visitors need, airport pickups? Anything in that realm

I agree with the travel offer suggestion. Are your members local or tourists? I'd also use offers for things that are locally sourced in Kenya. I mean a popular export of that country.

Best tip so far.

What do a lot of people in Kenya currently need? Think about it and if it is something like jobs or a service, you can find an affiliate program.

I've heard of a woman who rents out furniture and items such as travel cots, baby strollers and stuff out of airports. Pretty sure she went on Dragon's Den so alongside the great advice you've already received this would be a natural accompaniment to it

 

[dawoodkhan97]

Post threads that target local businesses where the goal is asking for a recommendation.

For example 'best roofing in [city]' and then you can reach out to businesses and strike a deal for showing them at the top of the thread

You shouldn't have shared the subreddit name, next time be more careful

I would suggest adding affiliate links to things, people in kenya would be interested in

Have you thought about AMAs with relevant industry folks and charging a fee for access?
