What was your goal mate?
What was that you failed to achieve and what approach did you choose / did so you have failed?
Wondering if reddit can be leveraged to improve local businesses? I guess a related subreddit but the market is niche and reddit likely does not have too many local visitors.

You could check if you have a local community on reddit (e.g. r/bayarea). If not, you could see if you have a way of providing your service or products online to a broader audience instead of just locally. It doesn't always make sense or is always possible. Really depends on your business.
Yea I think it's a bit tough with my business.
A similar example to mine might be a learners drivers instructor centre.
It's a bit "too" local to really capture off reddit.

Yes that seems to be a bit hard, indeed.
I guess you could use Facebook or even local newspapers or radio to promote your business. Word of mouth is also super important for local businesses.

You said you tried many times but failed. Well, it depends on how you "try."
If you just go on Reddit and drop links all over the place, you're going to get flagged and banned very quickly.
As you probably already know, Reddit users are not very fond of self-promotion. In fact, they're so sensitive about any kind of promotion that you don't even have to drop a link.
If they can even make a halfway decent argument that you are somehow, someway promoting something, that's usually enough to get your account flagged.
There Is a Better Way
Think of Reddit as a giant forum. To be successful in forum marketing, you have to contribute to the community.
This means taking the time to share information, share truly useful resources you found online, as well as sharing of yourself.
Reddit users view themselves as part of a large community. The key to success involves your willingness to be a genuine member of that community.
Participate. Share what you know. Ask questions.
In other words, be part of an organic community within your target niche.
The Biggest Challenge
The main reason why people struggle with Reddit marketing is because of the fact that it takes quite some time to establish authority and credibility.
Add to this, the natural suspiciousness and skepticism of the typical Reddit user, and you have a big problem on your hands.
It's too easy for marketers to get impatient and just start dropping links all over the place.
Don't do that.
Reddit marketing is a marathon. Focus on sharing value and building a brand around your account.
Pretty soon, once people can trust your account to share only truly useful and valuable information, you can pretty much get away with self-promotion. But you have to be very careful.
You have to mix it in with legit shares and comments. You can't just go on with spam mode and just start blasting links.
Of course, the most common indicator of how well the community views your participation is your Karma score.
The good news with Reddit is once you post a comment or a piece of content that people like, your Karma goes up. Keep at it.
Your job at that point is to find similar content or engage in a similar to keep boosting your karma. That's how you know you're getting on people's good side and building credibility.

Secret to reddit marketing is simple.
1. dont blindly spam
2. use LEGIT account with tons of post history.
3. do atleast 3-5 comments and 1 non promo post in subs that you want to promote in
4. when you promote stuff, be subtle about it.
5. most of my traffic comes from reddit comments not the posts themselves. so create a discussion with 1 acocunt and answer with another.

Reddit is a unique beast. They are definitely sensitive and picky. But they did a lay down for Wall Street Pros pretending to be average day traders. There are some decent Quora answers on the topic but if you go in like Mr. Mrs. nice clean contributor it will pay off later. But do not try to hit it on the first date.
Take your time and take them out to a movie first.
