Best practices for Reddit

Warm up your account.

• Start slow.

  • Day 1: 1 comment

  • Day 2: 2 comments

  • Gradually build to 5–8 comments/day

• Cap it at 10/day.
  • Reddit will flag accounts with unusually high activity
• Aim for consistency, not volume.

  • Goal: ~80 comments/month

  • Example: Shimmer hit 80–100 comments/month → $270k in a year.

Make your Persona more authentic.

• To make the best comments, update your Persona in settings
  • Here’s shimmer’s persona (made 280k)
  • Include stories that others can relate to
    • Eg: If you’re building a finance app, talk about your own personal experiences with finances, and what helped you
  • Goal is to add as many relevant stories as possible, those help you connect with others in your comments.

Don’t worry about Karma unless it blocks you.

• Don’t worry about karma unless it blocks you out of important subreddits.
• We’ve seen results from our clients who just purely focus on their target subreddits.
• If you must increase karma, put in random posts in r/relationship_advice, r/anxiety, etc., into playground, and generate responses to those.
