How to use Reddit for internet marketing

As more and more companies are jumping on the internet marketing train, experts are busy looking for ways to do it differently rather than opting for the usual ways to take advantage of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram when it comes to using social media platforms. If you are also looking for a way to deviate from the usual rate, you may want to consider using Reddit for your internet marketing campaigns.

Why use Reddit?

Reddit is one of the most popular and busiest websites in the world, having more than 56 billion visits every year with millions of unique content published in all possible fields. Reddit offers multiple subreddits, which are communities dedicated exclusively to multiple niches. You can share links and images, participate in discussions, expand your network, promote your business, and do much more on Reddit.

Reddit for Marketing

Reddit often proclaims itself as the "first page of the Internet". If you're also ready to start using it for your marketing intent, here are some factors that can help you get started:

· Decide what to post: Redditors (these are people who use Reddit) love things that are fun, unique, interesting, charming, and often bold. Depending on what your offers are and the type of tone you want to set for your brand, you must decide the type of posts you will do live on this platform. For example, a business house that sells trendy teen clothes may have a funky, upbeat tone to their posts, while another in personal finance or gadgets should have a slightly serious tone, albeit with light humor interspersed here and there, sometimes.

· Interact and use the voting system effectively: you must interact with the Landlords of Reddit to make the most of this platform. Try posting interesting videos and photos, sharing helpful links, and even asking for suggestions or help (get ready for answers you might not have expected!). You can also use the voting feature to vote for relevant comments (by clicking the orange arrow next to each post or comment) and post your own comments. Like many other social media sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, etc., Upvoting will help your content rise to the top of the heap, and in case you get enough votes it can hit the front page, too. If that happens, you will experience a significant increase in your visitors and page views.

· Use subreddits wisely - sometimes you may come across subreddits that are relevant but too specific. For example, you can find one for copywriting, but you may find that there isn't much action. In such cases, look for alternatives that are still relevant and overflowing with shipments and therefore generate more traffic. For example, a political news writer can take advantage of the subreddit in politics, while a game developer can benefit from being active in the game.

· Use Reddit Advertising: If you're ready to take a leap and be on the front lines when it comes to marketing, you can create an advertising campaign and promote it with Reddit. Depending on whether you want your ad to be visible only on certain subreddits (targeted) or across the entire Reddit community (unsegmented), you can make your ad have a guaranteed position on the first page with Reddit advertising.

· Transparency and Opportunity: Since most Reddit users are well educated, be sure to provide the most appropriate information for your company and share high quality content. Also, the man will surely time his posts to attract the attention of the right crowd.
