How To Manually Warm Up Your Reddit Accounts

I've tested this on 150+ reddit accounts so far, and it works like a charm.

Check out the popular subs like r/AskReddit. Read through every post on the front page, and go through all the comments. What you want to do is to first get a really good feel for the emotional tenor of the posts on a subreddit. The biggest problem that marketers have with Reddit is we're psychologically very VERY different from the average Reddit user, so it takes us a while to calibrate to them.

Example - one of the posts trending today is "When did you realize your "Friends" were actually fake friends". I've had some of my accounts comment on this thread, and each account has gotten 100+ karma from just one comment. Primarily because the comments I wrote were specifically tailored to the audience demographic of that thread.

When you see a thread like "when did you realize your friends weren't your friends", ask yourself, what's the kind of person who would respond to this? Where are they at emotionally?

Don't be judgemental (I've had this problem from time to time), and instead try to understand the 'customer avatar' of the people posting on a thread. Most of the people posting on the 'fake friends' thread are likely going to be in their late teens, twenties, some early 30s.

The spectrum of concerns they have will be similar. There'll be a lot of posts about hearing about a friends party and then not being invited to it. There will be posts about "my BF/GF broke up with me and I found out s/he had started dating my best friend" and variations on the jilted lover theme.

Now just pick one of those themes, and the same way you write a skyscraper post in SEO, write a longer version of one of those plotlines as a comment. Make it emotionally juicy, but not too juicy, because Redditors will do username searches for you on google to see if your story "checks out" (I know, it's insane how much free time they have, but we're not here to judge). Make sure you don't say anything that contradicts the overall 'mood' of the thread you're commenting on.

Here are some guidelines based on commonalities I've noticed in the popular threads:

• be somewhat anti-capitalist, but not too vehemently so
• Identify your account persona as someone with a "regular" job, or even unemployed - - saying you're unemployed because you lost your job due to a company retrenching/restructuring (ie no fault of your own) typically gets a lot of upvotes
• Identifying as someone who has social anxiety helps quite a bit, you get a lot of empathy upvotes for social anxiety

You'll find more commonalities as you read through threads - - if you want a 'structured' approach, download a customer avatar worksheet (you'll find many online) and use that.

Finally, post your comment as a reply to a top comment, and not in the general comments area, this'll ensure greater visibility. You can preface your comment by acknowledging the comment you're responding to, so it looks more natural.

This sounds very time consuming, but once you've done it 10-15 times you'll become really quick at identifying the general theme of the comments, the probable 'avatar' of the people who are reading the thread in question. Do this for a week and your accounts will all have 500+ karma from real, seemingly authentic comments, and they'll probably earn some awards as well.

Hope this helps guys who're manually warming up multiple Reddit accounts.

A simpler method would be to go to r/freekarma4u and post a hot steamy girl's (porn star) picture, boom I've got 4 rewards in the last 20 days 3 for these

Yep, this works really well, too

I noticed that, with Reddit, you basically have to go with the “temperature of the room.”

If you notice a certain trend or a certain attitude that people in a thread tend to agree on or reward with a lot of karma, go with that.

What works for me in warming up Reddit accounts is storytelling.

People love a great story, especially if it’s told from an unusual point of view.

You may be thinking that the topic everybody’s talking about is pretty generic.

Well, everybody’s got a different spin!

And when you look at how other people are reacting, I'm sure you could come up with your own interesting take on it.

The key is to be truthful, be honest, base it on your actual experiences, but understand the “temperature in the room.”

So you might want to slant it or position it based on what people expect, and this can go a long way in getting substantial karma.

Even if you find yourself in a thread that is completely different or opposed to your opinion, there is always some point of commonality—work with that.

And ask a lot of questions because people are actually more interested in the fact that you're interested in them than listening to your conclusions.

I know—this means letting go of the ego a little bit, but it can pay off tremendously as far as karma is concerned.
