Is there a market for organic growth through Reddit?
I’m an experienced software dev and have been on Reddit for 10+ years. I’ve got 24K karma on this account and 14K on another, with most of it coming from comments rather than posts.
I’ve gotten pretty good at understanding Reddit culture, what gets traction in different communities, and how to participate without coming across as spammy. Some of my posts/comments have also ranked well in search and even made it to the news.
The main question I’m trying to answer is:
can I actually use this skill to make some additional money on the side?
I’m not talking about selling/farming karma or spamming links. I’m thinking more along the lines of helping a startup/product build an organic presence on Reddit, finding relevant conversations, figuring out what kind of content works in a particular subreddit, etc.
For those who do freelance work or run businesses:
Is this something companies actually pay for? If so, where would I find these kinds of clients?
