Reddit Guidance

1. Select your Subreddit carefully

You are wanting to grow your business, build your followers and increase site traffic so ensure you join and contribute to the right subreddits....subscribe and take part in the discussion which most closely relate to your niche or branding.

Be sure to be clever when finding subreddits (they are keywords) - search all your relevant keywords individually and in combination.

a) healthy

b) nature

c) holistic

d) healthy holistic living

You get the idea! See which offers the best thread for your submission...

2. Practice Social Listening

Remember when using social media it is NOT just about promoting products....its about social listening...what do your "customers" want? They want information firstly, informative educational information and they want you to listen to them....if they have questions answer them, give advice, guidance, reply to comments. As in any business your customer will stick around and trust you if they feel listened to!

Reddit users are a tough crowd...don't practice social listening at your own risk...you'll end up ignored or downvoted.

Browse your threads, respond and reply, offer great information and ensure you hear what your readers/customers say and ask about.

Great training thanks Jason. Unfortunately I looked up my niche (men's fashion -or fashion-) on Reddit and the rules for that community says no blog posts at all. I will keep Reddit in mind for other blogs though!

Think outside the box. Search subreddits for 'latest trend' men , casual wear, underwear, high fashion...don't be constrained ...find a thread even if vague

I think this advice is going to be great...thanks! I have been avoiding the whole social media side (my site is only a month old) so I am glad to hear of a more focused, less frustrating option! However, I have heard people on here who say they never make any sales from social media and they are still successful. Do you think there is any way to avoid it?

Social media is the proverbial pain in the buttocks. But it does work. Mainstream social media i.e. fb, Twitter I think are a waste of time..never made any money from them. Best for me and those that provide me money are *in rank* Reddit....Tumblr. ..pinterest
Nothing else works for me. But I guess its all about time spent and marketing strategy.
P.s.....I make more sales via social media than any other platform.

Hey Tim
Journey was good thank you
In terms connecting reddit to your business it's as simple as creating a Reddit profile and sharing. I use SumoMe and that makes life easier as it shares my posts with one click. Recommend Sumome plugin for all social sharing

Reddit is a lesser-known social network I hadn't even thought about using and knew nothing about other than hearing the name "Reddit" a small number of times. You see this as a major reason why your website is making money?

I definitely see it as a major contributor and hands above the other social channels

I just ran into a huge problem. Shortly after signing up with Reddit and getting the confirmation email I discover I can't log back into Reddit. Something went terribly wrong.

I posted a link to the subreddit computer chess and 2 referrals from Reddit suddenly appeared on the Jetpack stats. The title of my link post was "Houdini 3 Extreme Fails to Correctly Evaluate the Position."
