How I went from 0 to over 9,000 Comment Karma... And Got Banned From Half of Reddit

by lbesecker195

Ok, so not quite half, but a good 20 or so subreddits... Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself...

I finally got over the 100 Comment Karma threshold after sitting there for over 5 years. My other project isn't even live anymore because I couldn't even join the subreddits to promote it due to insufficient karma.

I didn't just barely get over 100 Comment Karma, either.

I got to OVER 9,000 COMMENT KARMA in 1 month!

One comment got over 1k upvotes just by itself.

I call this mode: >>> Karma Whore <<<

Don't get me wrong, I also created an awesome sales lead generator that goes along side it. But seriously, over 9,000 Comment Karma. I feel like that's worth sharing here by itself.

Anyway, let me know what you think in the comments.
