Today I would like to tell you about the potential of reddit + adsense and some tips & tricks. I have thought about using $$$ in the title, because that is what everyone is looking for. Just remember, it’s all up to you. You can make just $100 or $100 000 a month, or nothing at all. It’s all up to you, your dedication and your skills.
The Traffic
According to similar web, reddit is 36th most visited website in the world with 40% of the traffic coming from the US. Reddit receives monthly 1.7 BILLION traffic. As many of you know, US traffic has the highest CPC in Adsense.
Niche
I will exactly tell you which niches bring easy traffic and money. It is „Technology“, „Cryptocurrencies“, „Political news“, „Uplifting news“.
Age
Age is very important. Both the website you are going to promote and the reddit account you are using should be old. The age of the domain should be atleast 3 months, but the older, the better. Same with the reddit account – older the account, the higher chance of your upvotes getting counted and higher chances of getting to the front page of your subreddit.
„Aim low“
You always hear to „aim high“ but in this case the opposite is better. You should aim to get to the front page of subreddits rather than whole reddit (/r/all). Most websites can’t handle the „reddit hug of death“ because of their cheap hosting. If you are low on money, you wouldn’t be even able to afford such an expensive hosting and it would be waste from the beggining. Aim to rank on subreddits rather than getting to the front page and upgrade your hosting and buy/send more upvotes later when you have made your money.
The top subreddits to post in are, /r/Futurology, r/The_Donald, /r/UpliftingNews/, /r/Cryptocurrency (and other crypto related subreddits). These subreddits have a lot of traffic and they are open to „unknown“ websites (like yours). Other subreddits with so many subscribers accept links just from big websites like bbc, cnn and so on.
Upvotes
There are two ways to boost your link. If your content is good, it will start getting hundreds of upvotes in these subreddits, but you should boost your link initially. You can either buy upvotes or buy accounts and upvote yourself. You do not need proxy for each account, you can just use VPN to switch between IPs. Do not forget to clear cookies between each upvote, log off the account before changing IP and so on. The more popular sub you target, the faster (and more often) you can upvote your links. However, to be safe, you should NOT upvote your link more than 10 times before the 10 minute mark or it will get instantly removed. Accounts do NOT need to have comment history to have their upvotes count.
Adsense isn’t the only option
Even though Adsense pays the most (especially with the niches I wrote about earlier) not everyone can get their Adsense account approved or has problems getting paid. I suggest using native ad networks alongside adsense (or instead of it, if you are really unable to get adsense account). They will make your website look „larger“ with ad posts, they are easier to get accepted to and they often pay to paypal too.
It is also possible to promote ecommerce websites or CPA websites, but it is so much harder. Your average redditor is tech savvy and will understand that you are just trying to sell something right away and downvote your content. That’s why I suggest using adsense and native ads.
Obviously, your content must be good, unique. Just look at the past posts that have reached the front page of your chosen subreddit and try to imitate the style of the article and website.
I will attach screenshots of traffic and earnings that came from reddit.
Happy earnings!
