I solved Reddit growth for indie hackers and made over $7.5k doing it

Hey, it's Arthur đź‘‹
A few months ago, I decided to get serious about Reddit. I thought: how hard can it be? Turns out... very.

I got suspended 6 times.
First try: banned for just commenting
Second: banned for posting
Third: earned 8 karma… suspended again
And so on. Six total bans.

But on the 7th attempt, I finally cracked the code.
No bans. 30 karma. Then:
âś… Viral post (510K+ views)
âś… 40+ DMs
✅ Reddit started driving real traffic & revenue

That’s when I realized: Reddit is a goldmine - if you know how to use it.

So I built MediaFast - a tool to help others grow on Reddit without getting banned.
It gives you a personalized roadmap with step-by-step tasks:

-What to post
-Where to post
-When to post

All based on real data, not random AI guesses.

It’s now used by founders, agencies, and creators and helped me make $7,500+ in revenue.

And it’s not just Reddit:
I’ve grown to 11,000+ followers on LinkedIn and 2,000+ on X too — all by applying the same lessons.

If you’re an indie hacker, build around a problem you personally felt. That’s what I did. Reddit growth was my struggle — now it’s my SaaS. 🚀

Happy to share more if you’re curious!
