Have you advertised on Reddit... Would you do it again?
Just what he title asked. They only offer cpm so I could imagine the whole 1000 views could be filled quickly and with no clicks. Anyone done it can give some advice?
Trending on Indie Hackers
There's been a few posts about this that might be useful:
Thanks a lot for your reply. I will check all three of these links. Appreciate it.
I did some reddit ads a long time ago. They weren't working for me. Personally, I think you're better off growing organically on reddit (if you can pull that off, hat's off to you!) and not doing any advertising on reddit. It seems any other medium (youtube, fb, google, twitter) outperforms the CPM of reddit (at least for me).
I haven't personally but I saw this thread earlier today on HN about click fraud in reddit ads, something to take it into account. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24731230
Thanks you 'most' I am reading it now. Appreciate your post.
hi Scott, I am currently experimenting with Reddit myself. They have updated it so that you can actually bid CPC (so your statement around only CPM is not correct). Also they have introduced Reddit pixel to optimise for conversions but haven't seen the full effects of this yet. The campaign objective I picked (traffic) seems to be the best and is way cheaper than Google and FB. I am not sure if you are a reddit user but try to create your ads tailored to the reddit community, meaning make sure your creatives are super relevant to whatever subreddit you want to target as well as leaving comments on (to engage with the users to show them that you are in fact a part of the community). Hope this was helpful!
