Reddit works when you stop trying to go viral

When I first started posting on Reddit I chased every trick I could find
Perfect headlines best times to post magic karma formulas

None of it mattered

I would get a few upvotes and then disappear again

Then I stopped trying to go viral and started trying to fit in

I picked a few subreddits where my topic already lived

I read every rule every top post every comment

I posted like a regular user who just happens to build things

That shift changed everything

My comments started getting replies

My posts stayed up longer

And traffic started to flow naturally

That system later became MediaFast

It helps makers find the right subreddits, see what type of content works there,
and follow a 30-day roadmap that says what to post and when

No guesswork, no spam, just rhythm and clarity

Now Reddit sends me steady users every week

Not from viral posts, but from trust built over time

If you ever feel invisible on Reddit, stop chasing numbers

Start showing up like someone who belongs there

The growth comes after

    Couldn’t agree more stop chasing virality, start building trust. That’s the real growth hack!

    It’s the same for getting clients with email. Stop chasing tricks and start fitting in. Finding the right inbox and building trust with a message that belongs there is key. Our targeted email approach is basically this principle automated. Helped a web design agency find that freedom your talking about. Happy to go for a partnership here :)
