What You Need

• Reddit account

• Website/blog

• Autoresponder (optional) – I recommend Aweber

• CPA or affiliate offers to promote

Niche

As I stated, reddit covers every niche imaginable, and

there are extremely active and passionate communities. So

when it comes to niche selection, you have countless

options to choose from.

However, some are easier than others to become

established. For example, the entrepreneur reddit

community is tougher to sell in than the dog/pet

community. The entrepreneur community is very wary of

spam and knows when you are trying to sell something.

That isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, it can be great

for you because when you do things properly you will be

rewarded both short and long term while everyone else

eventually falls off. It shouldn’t discourage you from

choosing the IM/MMO niche. There is so much potential

there. Just know that it will take just a bit more leg work to

gain trust.

While pretty much any niche is viable, here is a list to

consider.

Starter Niches

• Pet

• Survival

Intermediate Niches

• Fitness

• Diet/Health

Advanced Niches

• IM/MMO

• Bizopp

• Entrepreneur

Let me explain what I mean by Starter, Intermediate,

and Avanced.

Starter niches are what I consider safer because the

communities are not as wary of marketers so you can get

by with providing less content/value and posting more

links to your content. The communities are not filled

with spammers so their guard is not always up.

With intermediate niches, you need to be more aware

of coming off as a marketer. Always provide value in

any post and always give genuine responses and

solutions to questions.

In advanced niches, you MUST provide value in every

post. Not short simple value posts either. Go in-depth

with your posts and have more content posts than link

posts.

Creating Your reddit

Account/Profile This should be self explanatory, but here is a quick

walkthrough with some tips. Go to reddit.com and click on

sign up

Enter your email and click next

Choose your username and password on the next page.

Be sure to make your username niche specific. For

example, if you want to be in the dog niche, your username

can be something like AwesomeDogLover. If you’re in

fitness, it can be FitnessManiac. You get the point. Also, if

you have an established website/brand, it would be best for

your username to be the same.

On the next page, subscribe to 5 subreddits in your

niche.

After this you will have to verify your email, and you are

pretty much set to go!

How reddit Works Before you start going crazy and posting all over

reddit, this section explains the basics and what you should

understand about the platform.

subreddits

Reddit is filled with subreddits, which are basically

communities based around niches. For example

r/Dogtraining is a subreddit community all about dog

training.

Upvotes/Downvotes

All posts made on reddit are subject to upvotes and

downvotes. The more upvotes a post gets, the higher it

appears, the more visibility it gets, and the more traffic you

can potentially get from it.

Karma

When your comment or post receives an upvote, you

also get karma points. There are 2 types of karma points,

link karma and comment karma. The value in karma points

is basically trust. The more karma points you have, the

more trust you have in the reddit community. This is also

why it is important to post informative and truly valuable

content.

Additionally, some subreddits have a minimum karma

requirement. For example, you need to have a certain

amount of karma to be allowed to post.

Do’s And Don’ts Do’s

• Always read the rules of every subreddit you post on.

Yes, reddit has its own universal rules that you must

follow. However, you also must follow the specific

rules outlined by each subreddit.

• Provide real value in every post you make

• Be an active member in your niche. Keep in mind that

other users will often look at your profile and post

history. The more value and actual help you provide,

the more trust you will have.

• Interact with those who comment on your posts.

Always pay attention and keep up with the

conversation. Again, people look at your history.

Staying engaged with your posts ensures people that

you genuinely care and are invested in your niche.

Don’ts

• Don’t constantly post links ONLY to your own

website. Be sure that you also post links to authority

sites, other blogs, etc. Yes, you want to drive as much

traffic as possible to your own website. However, if

someone looks at your post history and sees that you

are only posting links to your own website, then it

becomes clear that you are a marketer.

• Don’t ever post a raw affiliate link. All links should

lead to niche relevant content (blogs, videos, pictures,

etc.) Direct linking on reddit is a big no. Creating a

free blog and writing an article/review about a CPA

offer should take no more than 10 minutes, especially

with the help of the template I give you below.

The 1 to 10 Ratio The 1 to 10 ratio means that you should only post a

link to your own website 1 time for every 10 posts. Now, a

post can be a picture, a video, or even a long text post. It

can take literally a few seconds to do so don’t think that 10

posts is a time consuming task.

While the 1 to 10 ratio is generally recommended, I

like to be even more conservative so here’s how I do

things.

Starter Niches: 1 to 10 ratio

Intermediate Niches: 1 to 15 ratio

Advanced Niches: 1 to 20 ratio

Setting Up Your Website/Blog As I stated before, you do not want to use direct

linking with reddit. That is a big no-no and a quick way to

get you banned.

There are several options when it comes to creating a

blog. You do not even need to purchase domains or

hosting. Setting up a simple free blog from Wordpress,

Blogger, Wix, etc. will work just fine.

Here is a general breakdown of how you should write

your articles and/or reviews. This is an example of a review

Title: Product Name + Review (Insert Image Here) • Explain what the problem is • Explain how the problem negatively affects daily life

or life in general • Say why other products do not work • Explain what makes this product/offer different and

why it is the best solution (Insert Another Image Here)

• Go over at least 3 different features of the product/offer and what you like about it.

(Insert Another Image Here)

• Give some criticism of what you don’t like about the product. Nothing is perfect, and if you give constructive criticism, it increases trust.

(Insert Another Image Here) • Remind the reader what is unique about the

product/offer and why it is ultimately a wise decision to get it.

This is one of the main angles I take when writing an article

about a product/offer. However, there are several ways to

go about it. The main thing to remember is to make it

visually appealing and structured.

Place your affiliate link on every image and at least once in

each section.

The article does not have to be perfect, and you should not

fret over any small things. As long as you get your main

points across, everything will be fine. It should take no

longer than 10 minutes for one article, and you can use the

template above to structure it.

Action Plan Once you have your first articles up, you are ready to

start driving traffic. However, you don’t even need an

article up to participate on the platform. Being active in the

community doesn’t require anything besides your time.

Remember to keep EVERYTHING I have stated

already in mind because reddit can be a tricky platform to

implement in your business. Here are steps you can take to

increase your traffic from reddit:

• Create a list and subscribe to at least 20 subreddits in

your niche. There are countless subreddits in every

niche, and the more you are involved in, the better.

Join big and small communities. The important thing

is that they are active so make sure they have many

recent posts. To find subreddits, simply search for

your niche in the reddit search bar and you will be

presented with several subreddits and users you can

subscribe to

• Search for subreddits in your niche and comment on

10 different popular posts every day. Stay engaged

with any conversation going on that includes you. The

more you do this, the more upvotes and karma you are

likely to receive. Do not post the same comment

multiple times. Reply specifically to the post and give

real insight. Post links to authority websites that have

answers to people’s questions/problems. Do not post a

link to your own website unless the article is very

relevant to the original post. The purpose of these

posts is to gain karma points and trust in your post

history. This is important to keep your account in good

standing as well. This should take around 10

minutes per day at most. Of course, if you want to

do more, that is even better. To find posts to comment,

simply go to different subreddits, click on a post you

are interested, and use the comment box as shown here

• Create 5 of your own posts in 5 different subreddits

related to your niche. I must emphasize, do not ever

post the exact same post in different subreddits. Keep

things fresh and vary things between videos, links,

AMAs (ask me anything type posts), etc. Now, I

recommend to not create your own post in the same

subreddit more than once per day. I actually

recommend to wait at least 2 days to create a post in

the same subreddit and at least 2 weeks to post a link

to your own website in the same subreddit. If you need

inspiration of what to post, simply search videos on

YouTube, search Google for blogs, look for current

news, etc. Your posts can simply use the “I thought

this was neat/helpful and I wanted to share it with the

community” angle. Again, you don’t have to always

post unique content you created yourself. As long as it

is relevant/useful, then it will be fine. This should

take 15 minutes per day at most. To create your own

post, go to a subreddit, and you should find a button

on the right hand side that says “Create Post”

• Create 1 post per day linking to your own website.

Yes, 1 post per day. Again, keep in mind that you

should not post a link to your own website in the same

subreddit less than 2 weeks apart. This is why you

should have at least 20 subreddits in your rotation.

ALWAYS use the informative/helpful angle when

sharing links to your own website. Never hint at

selling or having something for sell. You want to lead

with information/value and naturally guide people to a

solution that can be found in your CPA offer on your

website. Remember, 1 post can literally drive

thousands of people per day so when you do this right,

it can be a big win. This post should take 5 minutes

at most.

• Create 2 new articles per week in your niche on your

website/blog to keep things fresh. This will also give

you more angles to work with and build more trust and

value on your website. Again, you can use the review

template above to help writing your articles. This

should take 20 minutes per week.

These are all super simple and quick steps you can take

every day as you build big and passive traffic streams to

your website and offers.

In total, this should take no more than 30 minutes per

day and just 20 extra minutes per week to write articles

(these can be easily outsourced for cheap as well).

Additional Tips/Quick Strike • Comment popular posts. These get the most activity

and have the potential to drive the most traffic and

upvotes for you.

• Add popular redditors as friends. This will allow you

to keep track of all of their posts.

• Comment new posts from popular redditors. These are

more likely to be upvoted, and if you are one of the

first to comment, then you have an advantage of likely

being upvoted with them if your comment is

relevant/helpful.

• Take advantage of trending topics within your niche.

For example in the health/weight loss niche, the Keto

diet has become popular so making posts about Keto

is more likely to be upvoted and attract discussion.

Conclusion Reddit is a unique, but very powerful community

driven platform. When you use it properly and provide

value, it can be an incredible way to drive huge amounts of

free traffic to your CPA offers. Stay consistent with the

strategies I showed you, and these traffic streams will add

up fast.
