Advanced Strategies

Karma Farming Blueprint

Build high-karma accounts fast:

1. Age accounts for 7-14 days before heavy use
2. Start with comments in r/AskReddit
3. Post in r/funny, r/pics, r/memes
4. Engage with rising posts (not hot/new)
5. Use proven successful titles
6. Post at optimal times (9-11 AM EST)
7. Cross-post successful content
8. Build karma to 1,000+ before promotion

Subreddit Growth

Grow your own subreddit:

/reddit "crosspost trending content to r/mysubreddit"
/reddit "comment on related subreddits mentioning r/mysubreddit"
/reddit "post high-quality content daily"
/reddit "engage with every comment"

Influencer Marketing

Promote products/services:

/reddit "monitor r/technology for product discussions"
/reddit "post authentic reviews in relevant subreddits"
/reddit "engage in conversations naturally"
/reddit "avoid obvious promotion"

Competitor Monitoring

Track competitor mentions:

/reddit "monitor all mentions of CompetitorBrand"
/reddit "analyze sentiment of competitor discussions"
/reddit "alert on negative competitor reviews"

Crisis Management

Respond to negative mentions:

/reddit "monitor brand mentions in real-time"
/reddit "alert on negative sentiment"
/reddit "post official responses"
/reddit "engage with concerned users"
