Boost Sales Using Reddit

We are always looking for the best ways to create traffic generation and boost our sales but always at the lowest price. Sometimes this can be difficult especially when you are leading PPC campaigns in tough niches. Let's take a look at one method that is hotter than ever.

To those of you that have never heard of Reddit, which could very well be possible since it has just recently took off (it has been around a long time but wasn't used all that much), is a social news website where people post links or have social discussions. It's the type of place where you can find out about news before it even hits CNN's front page. Reddit rise to glory occurred due to the failures of Digg.com. The users of Digg revolted when they implement several social networking changes to the site and vast majority of users fled to Reddit. Reddit just achieved 1 Billion page views in a month, only a 100 websites in the world can make such a claim.

So now we can see the great opportunity we have available with Reddit. It just got big but hasn't hit the level of competition in advertising that we have seen with Google and Facebook. So for as little of $20 per day you can start advertising on Reddit and for $30 per day you can have it set for targeted traffic.

So how do you make the money? Two ways really, we can use the advertised method for a landing page but I prefer to go the free route. If you have a blog and you are able to write some amazing content then you should have no problem writing an article about a topic people want to read about. For example, a few weeks ago I wrote on a great article on one of my video game blogs and submitted the link to Reddit (Gaming Sub-Reddit), I was able to get a ton of traffic to my blog and people were buying up my e-book that I was promoting. Within the article I made in-line links to my sales page for my book. I was able to do this all on free traffic. The other route of course is the paid method which you can get some great laser targeted traffic to your blog using the same method I described above.

Just remember, for the free method you must write great content. If you fail to do so then your link to your article will never be up-voted. You will still see traffic from your link submission if it doesn't get up-voted but no where near the traffic you will see if you're article gets up-voted to the first three pages of Reddit.

Happy Redditing!


Edit: Forgot one thing, on Reddit make sure the title is catchy or fills a need people want a solution too so they click on it!
