Build a Reddit Marketing System From Scratch (Step-by-Step)

Random Reddit posts don't compound. A Reddit SYSTEM does. Here's how to build marketing infrastructure that grows on its own.

1. Research database: Subreddits, personas, keywords
2. Content engine: Idea → draft → schedule process
3. Monitoring layer: Alerts for mentions and opportunities
4. Engagement protocol: How to respond, when to respond
5. Analytics dashboard: What to track, how to review

• List 20+ potential subreddits
• Document rules, karma requirements, mod preferences
• Track top-performing post formats in each
• Note peak activity times
• Identify common pain points and questions

• Create swipe file of successful posts
• Build template library for different formats
• Set up AI drafting workflow
• Establish review and editing process
• Use MediaFast to find the right subreddits and posting times

• Set up keyword alerts (Syften, Google Alerts)
• Create notification system (Slack, email)
• Define response priority levels
• Establish response SLA (e.g., 2 hours for high priority)

• Document tone and voice guidelines
• Create response templates (personalize each)
• Define escalation path for tricky situations
• Establish 9:1 ratio tracking

• Track: posts, upvotes, comments, clicks, signups
• Segment by subreddit and content type
• Weekly review cadence
• Monthly strategy adjustment
