Wait you just confused me. So are you telling me its better to just buy upvotes? Can you recommend a good service?
You're saying I will get bored of doing it manually? Just trying to see if I understood your post correctly.
I keep hearing reddit is a goldmine. So I want to give it a go. I use to kill it on twitter before the platform got really challenging to use. I was making $2-$3k a day for about 6 months straight and then lost a lot of my huge accounts. Trying to get back on twitter and its been tough getting traction. Reddit seems a lot easier to manipulate currently. It just seems a lot tougher to capture the traffic. Seems like you make a post and if it goes viral good cool.
But now how do you make money from it or how do you really capture the traffic so they follow you or sub to a subreddit owned by you seems to be the challenging part.
Would 100 upvotes be enough to jump start a post in a really big subreddit?
Im not looking to ideally bot a post to the 1st page. I just want to bot it enough with upvotes to get it front of people who will hopefully like the post and continue to upvote it to push it into the top page ideally.
Sorry for the confusion though, I am writitign my thoughts all over the place. You can absolutely upvote it by yourself but it will not be easy and you will probably give up or get a headache before doing anything meaningful.
Reddit is a goldmine but your thoughts on it being easier to manipulate are wrong. These days it is one of the hardest networks to vote/like manipulate and you will have a lot of trouble figuring out a correct patterns. You will not be able to just bot your way to the top that easy though, it will require a lot of effort.
There aren't many successful upvote services if it was easy there would be a lot more than the current ones. Vote manipulation on reddit is one of hardest thing to do on mass. Upvote services are constantly making new accs age them post stuff on them then use them for upvotes, we are talking about thousands if not tens of thousands of accounts constantly upvoting getting banned and getting replaced.
Then there are reddit mods, who will detect that you are gaining upvotes unnaturally e.g 500 upvotes on subreddit that has 1000 users and 3 people online and will ban your acc or report you.
But if we ingore all of that and you somehow manage to get a popular post then yeah it will be pretty sweet.
Your thoughts about boosting your post with upvotes to gain traction are good, you should boost posts when needed it will absolutely be worth it, it just may not be worth it to do it on your own as it is time consuming while you can pay few dollars and save yourself from like 3-4 hours of work and use those accs for posting instead of upvoting.
If you really insist on doing it by yourself, then you will need as mentioned above: aged accs with karma and post/comment activity and quality IPs as you already have.
If you need any help let me know in private message ill be glad to answer if you have more questions!
