REDDIT CRACKED IN FIVE EASY STEPS!

Page 2: Cracking Reddit  - Get thousands of visitors in a few hours

Step 1: Creating the news

• Reddit is a news sharing site. We had to create some NEWS about our book, if we wanted to pass the

spam/self-promotion filters on Reddit.

I designed a simple website for this experiment: http://interviewoftheweek.press/ (Sounds like a news site, doesn’t

it?)

Step 1. Creating the news

• I wrote a fictional interview between me and a reporter whom I called Trevor Malik (a fictional character).

• It took me about two hours to compose the interview, and another three hours to design the website and post the interview. The costs? 99 cents! (Check the blog for more details.

Step 2: Posting the link on Reddit.com

• New accounts don’t hold any value. Links posted from new accounts are either deleted or buried in the depths of Reddit algorithm—where nobody will ever find

them.

Step 2: Posting the link on Reddit.com

• Therefore, we will purchase the tweet from an old trusted account (very cheap thing). We will do so on Fiverr.com

Step 3: Getting to the top of Reddit.

• Youtube views, Facebook likes, Reddit upvotes, retweets. . . . You can purchase them all, in any quantity of your choice. Sounds strange to you? Welcome to the world of internet

marketing :)!

You can find many websites where you can buy Reddit upvotes. Just search for it on

google.com… For my experiment, I bought 50 upvotes.

Step 4: Watch the magic

• Link to the interview with me received fifty upvotes in a short time (the upvotes I paid

for), and Reddit.com considered it interesting because of that. Their algorithm shot us all the way up to the 6th place on the

main page of reddit.com/r/books!

Since the interview with me was quite interesting (at least for some people), we got genuine upvotes as well, and stayed on the

sixth place for a couple of hours (maybe we got even higher, I did not watch it all the time).
