As we know Reddit is ranked among the 20 sites in the world in terms of the number of visits with then number of visits exceeding 1.7 billion visits every month and now we will show you killer ways to create a community and grow it in this big site

Of course, growing a community will help you a lot with your online business so without wasting time let's get started

Well there are two important things you will think about when we talk about Reddit

The first is that you think you can't put links on Reddit

The second is the rules of communities that everyone suffers from

That is why I decided to make these matters clear to you in this article

but before we go deep I want you to get some "karma" or "Upvotes

This karma enables you to post in large communities that contain millions of people and it's really easy to get karma points just go to small communities and post in it

for example, there are communities about cats you can join and post images about cats and get some upvotes ( of course don't ask for upvotes )

Now let's return to our method

When we talk about growing a community, there are two things you must do, the first is to grow your community originally and the second is to grow your community by joining other communities

so let's talk first about creating and growing your community originally

How to create a community?

to create your community just click on your username and then choose to Create a community

name your community and here the name should express your content accurately to appear to those who are looking for things related to it, in Reddit almost most of the names of the communities are like this

For example, there is a community called r/makemoneyonline talking about how to make money online

now for the type choose "Restricted" if you want to grow your community with your content without allowing others to post or choose “Public” if you want everyone to post in your community

put some rules and write a description and your community is done

add content to your community and of course give value to your content to encourage others to join your community

How to grow your community originally?

First, you should know that Reddit sometimes makes your content appear to others on its ow, and that there are people who search within Reddit for solutions to problems and many of them filter the search to the latest results, so it is possible for your content to appear to them if it solves a problem or explains something they want to know and giving real value So the more content you post on Reddit, the more it helps you get original followers

Use keyword tools and search for the word Redditt” and you will see many keywords people are searching for and wanting content from Redditt

Your role here is to search for keywords that do not contain competitors within Reddit and write about them, so you can bring visitors directly from Google, as well as you can bring visitors from Reddit itself if people search for the keyword within the site

How to use other communities to grow yours?

After making sure that you have published content that provides a real benefit, we will talk about how to promote and grow your community with some effort from you

Visit communities that allow the promotion of new subreddits such as r/newreddits or r/promoteareddit

ask moderators of communities with similar content if they might feature you as a related community or allow you to promote your community in theirs

This step is believed by many to be impossible and no one will allow it, but believe me, many accept this and you can provide value in their communities before asking them as well

Some communities allow cross-posting with your community and this is very useful to increase the reach of your content but you have to read the community rules first to see if you are welcome or not and if you aren't sure just ask the mods

Post on other communities or comment on it and link back to your community for more details

At first, you should know that affiliate links are not allowed on Reddit, meaning that you have to bring visitors to your website and then convert them to affiliate links from there

now for the problem related to the rules of other communities, you should know that some of these communities prevent spam and not links, so you should avoid spamming

To learn this, just visit the community rules and read them to know if it is related to spam only or the links as all

now for the communities that prevent other people from spam, all you have to do is provide value in your post to the community or your answer to the question posed, and then you can put your community link at the end of your post in case someone wants more details about the topic

Make sure to give a real benefit by shortening the content on your community that you want to get visitors to so, don't just mention simple words that don't exceed two lines and your article reaches two pages on your site

As well as some keyword tools such as Semrush, which analyzes the website and shows you the keywords that Reddit issues the search engine for Your role here is to search for keywords related to your niche and then enter the results and leave a comment with a link at the end of it that refers to your community As I told you previously on your comment, it should be far from spam and provide real benefit

Also, there are two things you should avoid

The first is not to make a lot of these posts, but rather to provide value without links as well

For example, publish two posts without links, and then you can put a link in the third post

The second thing to avoid is repeating the same post too often on Reddit

Make some effort and paraphrase it to avoid ban it is important to understand this method well and engage a little with the communities to see what posts bring high interaction and what topics don't receive much attention so you can avoid writing about it

Conclusion:

Growing a community in Reddit is so important for every one who wants to start an online business and we showed you some methods to grow your subreddit fast
