Has anyone had much success with Reddit ads? by @defex
My last Reddit Ad got 600+ upvotes and resulted in a large amount of email signups.
My tips:
Use a website profiler to find quality prospects
Services like BuiltWith and NerdyData allow you to identify websites that use specific technologies. If you know the technologies that your target market uses, you can leverage these services to find people who may be interested in your product, along with their approximate spend and traffic volume. And if your competitor's product is a technology that is inserted into websites, you can even find out exactly who their customers are. Use the information you garner to identify quality prospects, then find a contact person on LinkedIn or track down an email address on services like Hunter. Reach out and let them know how your product could be a perfect fit for their company.

Great work Falak! Love it :)
Thank you Yaro!
Haha, cat pictures work like a charm!
Everyone loves cats. But Redditors have extra love for cats.
Cool Idea about Reddit! I'll have to consider some ads.
Falak this is so awesome. I am looking into doing a Reddit Ad for jemsplash.com. Do you know if Reddit Ads are able to be promoted to a specific group?
I have never run Reddit ads. but I am thinking to run next month (not sure)
P.S Good luck. I really want you to succeed.
Something that tripped me up when I started reddit ads is this:
The UI (at least last time I tried) lets you enter a CPC bid under $0.10. Then you leave your ads running with some supposedly smaller bid of say $0.02. You come back a few days later and see that you blew $0.10 on each click.
Happened to me twice before I realized that they enforce a minimal bid of $0.10 per click. Keep this in mind when planning your campaign budgets.
Yup, miminum bid is $0.10.
That's pretty cool! I'll try it out sometime
Don't forget to share your results.
