How To Promote Your App/ Saas With Reddit
Reddit is a great platform to promote any business without much trouble, including a new mobile app or tech startup.
Reddit reported more than 330 million active users and a massive 21 billion monthly screen views on an average at the beginning of this year. Imagine reaching even a fraction of that number and your app will have a boost that you never could think of in the first place.
How To Use Reddit Marketing Strategies For App Promotion?
1. Make Sure You Have An Old Account With An Active History
You will be making a mistake if you open up a Reddit account just to promote your app.
You need to have an account that is at least 2-years old or so with enough karma to show for your credibility.
Karma is a Reddit rewards system where you earn points for getting upvotes on your links or comments and lose them when you are downvoted. If you post promotions from brand new accounts, there is a high chance you will get flagged.
2. Join And Post In The Right Subreddits
Subreddits are communities on the platform, each dedicated to some topics.
Find the Subreddit relevant to your app, subscribe to them, and this is important — read the rules of the particular Subreddit.
The next step would be to post with the link, but there are a few pointers to keep in mind.
· Keep your content short and crisp — the topmost Reddit posts are under 120 characters.
· Try to keep your brand name out of the picture unless it is something funny or trendy.
· Use keywords but avoid stuffing.
· Ask for feedbacks to increase traction in the comment.
· Post when it is daytime in the USA — Americans make up for the highest users on the platform.
3. Engage Relentlessly
In the hours following the post, be ready to engage constantly in the comments.
Reply to as many as you can and try to bring in as much traction as possible.
But at the same time, be prepared for unsavory comments or completely irrelevant ones — there are always those on every social media platform.
