Zero‑to‑10k Karma: The 30‑Day Reddit Growth Sprint for Founders

Ready to unlock subreddits that ban 90 % of fresh accounts? Follow this four‑week karma‑stack routine and watch your Reddit presence snowball from ghost to credible founder—no spam, no bans, just smart community work.

• Gate‑kept subreddits (r/Entrepreneur, r/SaaS) require 1–10 k combined karma to post links.
• Trust factor—high‑karma users see 30 % fewer auto‑mod removals.
• Algorithm boost—Reddit's 2025 feed favors posters with solid comment karma history.

Block 25 minutes a day. Use MediaFa.st to queue reminders and track karma growth.

1. Week 1 – Comment Blitz (Seed Karma) Find five threads/day in r/AskReddit, r/todayilearned, or your niche. Add thoughtful, 2–3‑sentence replies. Goal: 1 k comment karma.
2. Week 2 – Micro‑Posts & Image Shares Post one funny or helpful image/meme in image‑friendly subs (r/Memes, r/ProgrammerHumor). Goal: +2 k post karma.
3. Week 3 – Story Posts in Mid‑Tier Subs Share a founder lesson or fail story in r/EntrepreneurRideAlong or r/SideProject. Ask a question at the end to spark comments. Goal: hit 6 k total karma.
4. Week 4 – Value Bomb + Soft CTA Publish a 400‑word case study in r/SaaS (link‑free). Pin your GitHub/readme/landing link in the comments after 2 hours. Goal: cross 10 k karma and collect email sign‑ups.

• Open MediaFa.st Dashboard → Reddit Roadmap.
• Pull top threads from your curated sub list.
• Leave 2 helpful comments (no links).
• Upvote 5 relevant posts—earn goodwill.
• Log karma change in the built‑in tracker.

• Do vary subreddits—algorithm hates silo activity.
• Do wait 48 h before dropping any link.
• Don't delete low‑karma comments (looks shady).
• Don't buy upvotes—ban risk skyrockets.

MediaFa.st's Reddit module sends DM reminders when your karma dips below the daily average and shows subreddits where you're close to posting privileges—so you focus on writing, not spreadsheets.

One SaaS founder ran this sprint in January 2025: 11,200 karma, 2 links allowed in r/SaaS, 368 landing‑page clicks, 42 paid trials. Your mileage will vary, but the snowball is real.

Duplicate our Notion tracker or open the 30‑Day Sprint preset inside MediaFa.st. Hit start, and the roadmap auto‑populates with daily tasks, links, and karma milestones.

Reddit rewards patience and genuine value. Stack karma first, sell second. Follow this sprint, and you'll unlock the exact subs where your future customers hang out—no advertising budget required. Ready? Spin up a free MediaFa.st trial and watch those orange numbers climb. 🚀
