Reddit can take you from first users to $100K MRR. I've seen it happen. Here's the blueprint for building Reddit as a long-term growth engine, not just an early traction hack.
Stage 1: $0-10K MRR (Founder-Led)
- YOU are the Reddit presence. Personal account, personal voice.
- Focus on 5 high-quality subreddits max
- One viral post per month minimum goal
- Reply to every comment personally
- Time investment: 8-10 hours/week
Stage 2: $10-30K MRR (Systematized)
- Batch content creation (Sunday sessions)
- Use scheduling tools for consistency
- Expand to 15 subreddits
- Start Reddit-specific offers and landing pages
- Build internal swipe file and process docs
- Time investment: 5-6 hours/week (more efficient)
Stage 3: $30-100K MRR (Scaled)
- Add team member for community monitoring
- Founder still does major posts (voice matters)
- Team handles responses and daily engagement
- Multi-account strategy: founder + brand + support
- Referral program optimized for Reddit users
- Time investment: 3-4 hours/week for founder
The Compounding Effect
Why Reddit gets more efficient over time:
- Old posts keep ranking (Reddit SEO)
- Brand recognition reduces skepticism
- Users recommend you organically
- Community advocates emerge
- Less effort needed per conversion
Metrics at Each Stage
- $0-10K: Track signups by subreddit, conversion rate
- $10-30K: Add LTV by channel, organic mentions
- $30-100K: Add community health, brand sentiment, CAC trend
Common Mistakes by Stage
- $0-10K: Trying to scale too fast, getting banned
- $10-30K: Losing personal voice when systematizing
- $30-100K: Handing off completely (founder voice matters)
