How to Build Your Email List Using Reddit (Without Getting Banned)

I built a 10,000-subscriber email list using Reddit in 6 months. Here's the exact strategy that grew my list faster than any other platform—without breaking Reddit's rules.

Reddit users are naturally curious and love free resources. When you provide genuine value, they'll happily join your email list for more insights.

• Highly engaged audience – Redditors actively seek solutions
• Niche targeting – Find your exact ideal customers
• Trust-based – Build relationships before asking for emails
• Cost-effective – Free traffic vs paid ads

1. Create valuable lead magnets – Tools, guides, or templates
2. Share insights in relevant subreddits – Become known for expertise
3. Offer lead magnets in comments – Never in main posts
4. Build dedicated landing pages – Match Reddit post topics
5. Follow up with email sequences – Nurture new subscribers

• Free tools or calculators – Interactive resources get shared
• Industry reports or data – Original research is Reddit gold
• Templates and checklists – Practical resources people use
• Video tutorials – Step-by-step guides for complex topics
• Exclusive communities – Private Discord or Slack groups

Never put email capture forms in your Reddit posts. Instead, provide massive value in your post, then offer additional resources in the comments when people ask.

• Title: 'How I automated my email marketing and saved 10 hours/week'
• Content: Share your exact process with screenshots
• Comments: 'Happy to share my automation templates if helpful'
• Landing page: Deliver templates in exchange for email

• r/entrepreneur – Business owners want growth resources
• r/marketing – Marketers love tools and strategies
• r/SaaS – SaaS founders need operational guides
• r/productivity – People want efficiency improvements
• Industry-specific subs – Highly targeted audiences

• Total subscribers: 10,247
• Reddit traffic: 47,000 visitors
• Conversion rate: 21.8% (Reddit to email)
• Cost per subscriber: $0.00 (time investment only)
• Best performing post: 'SaaS metrics dashboard template'
