Reddit has been pretty successful for me and I want to see how other people are using it to see if there is anything in my process I can optimize.
Tech: Multilogin, residential proxies (one per account), 6 aged accounts (10+ years), UpvoteShop
My ultimate goal is to drive traffic to my ecom site through niche-specific subreddits. I have a variety of ways I do this but here are two that have been working for me recently:
1. I post a "mail call" type photo of my products as if I was a customer who just received them. Then I use my alt accounts to comment on the post something to the effect of "where did you find ___ product?" This allows me to then link to my product page and it doesn't look spammy or unnatural since it appears that a legitimate account asked the question and I am simply responding to their request. This has worked very well for me recently.
2. I also created a subreddit related to products in my niche where I occasionally post links to my products but mostly post other stores' products (that I don't currently sell) so that the sub appears unbiased. It is similar to r/sneakers where people are constantly posting new drops when they are in stock. I have grown this subreddit by making memes/gifs and posting them in the main subreddit for my niche and promoting my sub in the comments. Redditors hate when you promote yourself so any time I have tried to promote my sub it always gets downvoted like crazy.
But again, if I use my other accounts to comment and ask something about my subreddit it will get upvoted instead. I get pretty creative about how I do this but an example would be commenting something like: "wait aren't you the dude who always posts on r/mysubreddit? Occasionally I will pay for like 10 upvotes on the comment just to make sure it starts trending in the right direction. Once people start downvoting everyone else follows suit; Reddit is weird like that. Most of my memes make it to the first page and I have gotten as many as 500 new subs from one comment in one post. And these are people who not only are interested in my niche but have buyer intent as they are subbing to a subreddit that is exclusively about the products that I sell.
These are two tactics that have been working well with me so I thought I would share them. I'd love to hear any other ways people have been making Reddit work for them by growing a subreddit, driving traffic, etc..
Here are a few questions I have to jumpstart the conversation:
- What proxy site and browser do you use for your accounts?
- How do your accounts interact with each other? Do you keep them totally separate or use them to upvote/comment on each other's posts?
