Hello, community! There’s probably nothing better than free traffic. After all, saving on traffic expenses directly translates into sky-high ROI, doesn’t it? However, there is a downside. To get free traffic, you really need to put in a lot of effort. It’s like that meme with Thanos: “You got traffic, but at what cost?”
Today, let’s talk about another interesting source of free traffic: Reddit. What is this platform, who uses it, and which verticals can you drive traffic to from it? We’ll cover all that in today’s overview!
We also remind you that we’ve previously talked about unconventional traffic sources, such as Discord, which affiliates often overlook. Don’t repeat their mistakes—tap into traffic sources wherever you can!
What is Reddit?
While some people identify Reddit as a social network, we’re more inclined to classify it as a forum. Few people might remember what forums looked like, or even if they existed at all, but Reddit is quite reminiscent of them.
According to Similarweb, over the last three months, Reddit averaged a staggering 2.3 billion visitors per month. This makes Reddit one of the most visited websites: ranked 15th globally and 9th in the U.S.
Clearly, ignoring such a source of traffic is not an option. If we’re exploring any free traffic sources, Reddit deserves special attention.
A Bit About the Audience and Targeting on Reddit
First and foremost, it’s essential to understand the target audience “living” on Reddit. This understanding is crucial for deciding which offers to promote on this platform.
Let’s start with GEO. The top country by visitor count is the United States, accounting for nearly half of the traffic at 48.7%. The United Kingdom follows with 7.23%, and then Canada at 6.73%.
Thus, key GEOs are Tier-1 countries, which are usually the most expensive in the market. This creates a situation where securing even a small traffic flow from Reddit can be challenging. Despite high traffic, attracting a handful of leads to your offer or ensuring visibility can be quite tough.
But enough theory. What about the traffic itself? Similarweb also provides data on the gender and age demographics of Reddit users. Over half of the audience consists of males aged 18–34. You can see more detailed stats on the screenshot below:
Thinking about how to drive traffic to adult content from here? You’re on the right track! In fact, the platform itself supports this.
Reddit and Adult Content: A Perfect Match!
One of Reddit’s key advantages over other platforms is its tolerant attitude towards 18+ content. Such posts often reach the top, even more frequently than regular content.
It’s no wonder many people drive traffic from Reddit to platforms like OnlyFans. While it’s better not to link directly to avoid a ban, you can use an intermediary, such as a Telegram channel, to convert traffic. This strategy is similar to how traffic is driven from TikTok.
Besides adult content, Reddit is also home to another niche: crypto. There’s a lot of traffic there that can be highly profitable, especially now when crypto is one of the hottest topics.
In general, if you aim to find a niche for driving traffic, check out sections marked Hot, New, Best, or Top. This way, you can identify topics with active discussions and redirect attention to your offer.
Conclusion
Reddit is a fantastic platform where you can gain free traffic without investing too much time and effort. The key is to find the right subreddit and avoid getting banned.
Pay attention to the accounts you purchase. There’s a risk of buying a profile that’s already banned or under review with limited functionality.
Also, be mindful of shadow bans on Reddit. They can occur if you violate the platform’s rules. If you notice your posts are not gaining traction and believe you haven’t done anything wrong, reach out to moderators—they might help “fix” your account, if possible.
Overall, there are many successful cases of driving traffic from Reddit online. It’s just a matter of studying them, improving your approach, and generating even greater profits.
