I’m planning to sell low-cost accounts such as Netflix, Spotify, and ChatGPT. I’m considering advertising on Reddit to reach potential customers. Do you think this approach would be effective? If I run ads on Reddit, what would be the best conversion method: encouraging users to send a direct message on Reddit, directing them to a landing page, or sending them to WhatsApp?
Is Reddit ads a good place to advertise cheap subscription accounts (Netflix, Spotify, ChatGPT)?

You can try but reddit users are way smarter and their algo is too strict.

You have come to the right place, best wishes to you in the future. We will cooperate with each other with wisdom. Like me, you should take your time and be patient to get advice from everyone.
Yes, I'm worried about this too, because it's a gray area. The regular posts I publish to sell these products are working fine, and the total views in two months are around 70,000. I'm worried that if this ad campaign isn't approved, I'll lose $100 for the ad.

My advise to you is to try the campaign and use cloaker

Not sure reddit is the best place, you can try FB groups and discord for these ones.

From what I’ve seen, Reddit is a great platform for these types of products. Tech-related products usually get a lot of attention from Reddit users.

Better to funnel to a landing page. Reddit users are naturally suspicious of WhatsApp or “DM me” stuff.
Currently, I’m looking for a reliable hosting provider to build a website for selling these products, and I’m also considering which payment gateway would be the most suitable.
Previously, most of my sales came from direct messages on Reddit, where I would communicate with potential customers directly. However, I’m not sure whether this method can still be used effectively alongside a website.
I’d really appreciate any advice or experience from people who have run a similar setup.

reddit Ads is generally not a good place for advertising cheap or "second-hand"
subscription accounts (like Netflix, Spotify, or ChatGPT), as this activity
often violates the platform's strict anti-fraud and anti-counterfeit policies

Yes, I think the main issue here is that it would violate Reddit’s policies. So I’d like to ask everyone if there is any way to work around or mitigate this problem.
Save your money. Reddit's ad platform usually rejects these types of services instantly. Even if the ad goes live, the ROI is terrible because the community is very skeptical of these offers. Better spend that budget on high-quality aged accounts for organic reach

Reddit ads will instantly ban you for shared subscriptions. Don't waste budget there. Do organic promotion instead. Always use a simple landing page as a buffer; sending Reddit users straight to WhatsApp instantly kills trust.

They dont allow any blackhat ads as per my experience. Whenever I create an ad, it gets into pending approval and then rejection all the time.
I thought it has something to do with my account, but that was not the case.
