Reddit gigs
I've noticed that Reddit has become a surprisingly effective channel for online marketing because of how it's structured. Since Reddit is divided into thousands of niche subreddits, it's possible to reach very specific audiences with just a few well-placed posts or comments.
The first Reddit marketing job I ever came across was through someone I met on the dark web. He owned a fairly popular dark web news site and paid me $15 per day, per account. The work was simple: make 3 comments and 1 post in specific subreddits.
What stood out was that he wasn't trying to game the system with spam. The comments and posts were relevant, nothing was designed to get the accounts banned, and everything was spaced out naturally so the accounts weren't flagged. After about a week, I had scaled from 2 accounts to 5 running in rotation. Eventually, his analytics showed he'd reached the level of traffic he wanted, so the work slowed down.
The reason I'm sharing this isn't to encourage people to take these low-paying gigs. It's actually the opposite.
The people hiring you to do this are usually charging clients far more than they're paying you. You're doing the execution while they're running the business.
If you really want to make money with Reddit marketing, the better approach is to find clients directly and offer the service yourself. That way you're the one setting the rates instead of earning cents on the dollar.
Also, Reddit gigs aren't limited to posting and commenting—there are other types of work as well.
I honestly don't know the best place to find clients directly, but maybe the mod who shared the Tinder lead can also stop gatekeeping and point us in the right direction. 😅
