Hi Sachin, I can say from my own experience, Reddit can drive more traffic to your site/app than all the other social media platforms. Reddit has an average of 173 million unique monthly views. It is actually made up of individual communities called subreddits. Each subreddit has its own rules. Subreddits that are specifically related to your niche and focus on becoming a contributing member in those communities. When you focus on a niche community, it will be much easier to engage the community and share your relevant expertise. I will suggest you dont ignore smaller subreddits. Every business should start with the most relevant niche communities and build up to larger, more general subreddits over time.
Reddit is a good source to generate traffic and marketing for a business, but it is extremely difficult to actively achieve those results in a direct way. Redditors are just too good at sniffing out marketing attempts. The good news is that those types of rewards will eventually come and in the meantime, It has other things to offer. A subreddit can serve as a focus group Some businesses spend thousands of dollars on focus grouping. If you ask for feedback the right way, redditors are more than happy to share their thoughts with you for free. Their responses will help you learn more about your target audience, improve your product, and revise your marketing material.
Redditors are much more likely to read a blog post if it is copied to reddit as a text post. If you are submitting quality content, redditors will not mind if you add a link to the end of the post that credits the original source. Start by figuring out what redditors want, then figure out a way to give it to them in a way that necessitates mentioning your brand.
I hope itll help for your business and website traffic.you are in a great position to create a successful marketing campaign. Your next step is to actually spend time on Reddit and become a true redditor.
