Starting with conditionally free traffic on Reddit

Reddit is a popular platform where users can post content, comment, and vote on submissions. The platform is organized into subreddits, each dedicated to specific topics or interests.

 

Some statistics:

• Reddit was founded in 2005. Its founders are Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, both graduates of the University of Virginia. Their initial idea was to create a platform where users could share interesting links and discuss them.
• Six years after its inception, the platform made an incredible breakthrough. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Advance Publications, gaining more freedom for development. Currently, the platform's metrics and achievements are as follows.
• As of 2023, Reddit boasts over 50 million active users per day. There are several hundred thousand active subreddits covering nearly every conceivable topic and interest.
• Over the last 3 months, Reddit has been visited nearly 7 billion times, which is an astounding figure. That averages to about 2.3 billion visits per month. 
• Globally, the platform ranks 16th, and within the USA, it’s among the top 10, holding the prestigious 8th position.

 

Demographics

Here we can observe that the majority of Reddit users are adults aged 18 to 34 years old. The male audience is almost twice as large as the female audience.

Subreddits are thematic sections on Reddit dedicated to specific topics, interests, or communities. Each subreddit represents a separate community with unique rules and moderation, where users can post, comment, and vote on content.

By the way, here are the oldest subreddits on the platform.

 

Traffic from Reddit to Adult/OnlyFans

Like Twitter, Reddit allows and even promotes 18+ content but blurs posts/subreddits and adds warnings.

Post at the top

 

Here, by the way, is one of the posts that is in the subreddit "porn"; it's literally at the top and has been actively promoted for several months.

Pinned comment 

 

The author of this post is redirecting traffic from Reddit to a Telegram channel, and from there to OnlyFans. Overall, nothing new or surprising.

 

This is how traffic is redirected across various topics like investments, crypto, adult content, and other miscellaneous topics. Let's not forget that Reddit consists of 63% young adult males who are looking to either earn money or relax while on the platform.

 

Here's another bunch of "communities" on cryptocurrency topics; they redirect traffic to their referral links, retrodrops, airdrops, Discord channels, etc.

 

 

Here are three not the most popular but listed in the "Hot" posts. With such links, of course, you should be more careful, but often people simply earn bonuses through referrals.

 

Hot: A feed consisting of recently published posts that receive a large number of likes and comments. It’s often updated, making it one of the most useful for those who want to see current popular content.

New: This feed displays posts in chronological order.

 

Registered users see new posts from their subscriptions, while unregistered users see fresh posts from popular subreddits.

 

Best: This feed is available only to registered users and takes into account the ratio of likes to dislikes, as well as the time spent by the user in various communities. This helps maintain a balance between popular and less well-known subreddits: a post in a large subreddit with 80 thousand likes and a post in a small community with 200 likes may receive roughly equal attention in this feed.

 

Most popular (Top): Feed with posts sorted by the number of likes. Various time filters are available: for the last 24 hours, week, month, year, and all time.

 

Now that we have some understanding of traffic redirection from Reddit, let's move on to the main part.

 

The most important thing is not to make a mistake when choosing an account. Reddit is strict with its users, and newly registered accounts without karma, posts, and activity are quickly banned. Therefore, your account ideally should be created more than three to six months ago, have over 2-3 thousand post karma, and 200-300 comment karma. These metrics will work in our favor, ensuring no issues with traffic redirection. Such accounts can cost between $50-100, sometimes less.

Let's analyze another account

Example 

 

Please note the pinned post and the profile description. It's important to maintain as much engagement with your audience as possible. Develop your account concept thoroughly, add more information to the description. Include additional details about your OnlyFans accounts and other relevant information. You can add or modify the profile description in the "About the company" section in your account settings. Describe your content and what makes you unique to stand out from the crowd.

 

The same applies to your posts as well; add something whenever you publish them, and it's preferable to post at least once a day, ensuring your content remains lively. People are already inclined towards adult content with interest, so our task remains to skillfully cast the bait.

 

How not to waste money on a terrible account?

It's all quite simple. When buying an account, make sure to check the username and search it on Reddit itself. If you see that the account is labeled "BotDefense", skip it and forget about it.

 

Keep an eye out for relatively new accounts, and avoid accounts with the following issues.

 

Banned – “blocked”. Nothing can be done here; the ban cannot be lifted, and there's no point in continuing with this account.

 

Pending – “under examination”. Issues may arise.

What to do if you don't have money to buy an account?

You'll have to work with relatively low traffic in the first month, and for the first few days, you won't be able to post at all.

 

The first month of work is always challenging; you need to be extremely careful and not violate community rules. Additionally, you'll need to manually build up comment karma, be active on the platform, browse subreddits, and engage actively.

 

But overall, there are several advantages:

 

• Your account is personal, and you have the right to choose any username and avatar you want. With a purchased account, you won't be able to change the username.
• Besides the name, you're also boosting your personal brand right from the start, as users will understand that the account belongs to you personally.
• How can you boost a purchased account?
• Boosting upvotes is a way to give a small push with 20-40 upvotes. This way, you can get your post into the top and it will start gaining traction on its own.

 

However, it's not advisable to do this too frequently, as it can end up being costly or result in a permanent ban of your profile.

Shadow ban on Reddit?

Even here, it exists. The platform can simply stop promoting your posts at any time, without needing to break any rules. But there is an easy solution to this problem.

 

Go to reddit.com/appeals from the device where your blocked account is used. Specify your Reddit profile and write the following message:

 

"Hello! My account “your u/” got shadowbanned. I didn’t use any bots to maintain my account, I only managed it manually and tried to follow the Reddit policy. Tell me, please, what is the reason for my ban and how can we remove it?”

 

Reddit moderators will manually review your account and, if there were no violations, will restore it.

 

A bit more info

Some subreddits require verification before posting. This process involves uploading a verification document to confirm your identity. By completing verification in 10-20 subreddits, you can attract more traffic and increase user trust, as the verification status adds credibility to your account.

 

Before posting content on Reddit, you need to upload images to a hosting service like Imgur. Most NSFW subreddits prohibit direct image uploads to Reddit. After uploading to Imgur, insert the image links into your posts. For videos, use platforms like RedGIFs and add video links to your posts. Keep in mind that not all subreddits allow video posts.

 

Conclusion 

Reddit is one of the most influential and diverse social platforms, offering users a unique opportunity to interact within themed communities known as subreddits. Since its founding in 2005, the platform has grown significantly, attracting millions of active users worldwide.

 

Subreddits play a key role in the structure of Reddit, providing specialized spaces for discussing virtually any topic. The ability to vote on posts and comments helps create high-quality content and encourages active user participation.

 

To successfully use Reddit, it's important to consider platform-specific features such as the need for verification in some subreddits, the use of external hosts for images and videos, and the importance of following rules and actively engaging in communities.

 

Reddit continues to be an important platform for information sharing, social interaction, and public discussions, maintaining a balance between mainstream and niche interests of its users.
