From Reddit to $10K/Month: The Exact Strategy

I remember when Reddit was just a 'nice to have' marketing channel. Now it drives $10K+ MRR consistently. Here's the exact evolution and what it took to get there.

• Built karma across 8 target subreddits
• Zero promotional posts—only helpful comments
• Studied top performers in each community
• Created swipe file of successful post formats

• Posted first value-led content pieces
• Started getting comments asking 'what tool do you use?'
• Mentioned product in comments only when asked
• First organic mentions by other users

• Systematized content creation (Sunday batch sessions)
• Expanded to 15 subreddits across related niches
• Started Reddit-specific product offers
• Launched feedback loop: Reddit users → product feedback → better product

• Brand recognition: people recommending us unprompted
• Referral program for Reddit-sourced users
• Became known as 'the Reddit experts'
• Old posts still driving traffic (long-tail SEO effect)

• Direct from posts: 35% (people click CTA in our content)
• Comment recommendations: 25% (answering 'what tool should I use?')
• Organic mentions: 20% (other users recommending us)
• Reddit SEO: 20% (old posts ranking for searches)

• Content creation: 3 hours/week (batched)
• Community engagement: 5 hours/week (distributed daily)
• Monitoring and responding: 2 hours/week
• Total: ~10 hours/week for $10K+ revenue

1. Patience: First 2 months are investment, not return
2. Consistency: Post weekly, engage daily
3. Helpfulness over promotion: 10:1 ratio minimum
4. Track everything: Know which subs and post types convert
5. Iterate: Double down on winners, cut losers
