Traffic sources
Here I’ll tell you how I ran traffic from the Reddit forum to IMI Smartlink
using Snapchat.
Reddit is the largest forum in the world (22nd most visited site in the
world and 11th in the US (according to SimilarWeb)). It includes
approximately ~70% of mobile traffic and consists of “subreddit” –
communities on various topics. There are separate subreddits on NSFW
topics, where everyone can post various 18+ content. It’s necessary for
this campaign because I was running traffic to Dating SmartLink.
The audience of this forum is divided into the USA (48%), followed by UK,
CA, AU, and DE. The traffic consists of 70% of men (I think there are
probably much more men, but no statistics). The predominant age of
users is 25-34 years old (31.4%).
As a result, we have a top forum with a loyal attitude towards 18+ topics,
TIER-1 Geo, and a solvent male audience. Obviously, we need to use this
traffic and monetize it!
I started working with this forum from two smartphones, but a week
later the profiles were banned along with my devices and IP. Therefore,
for scaling, I used an emulator. I have always worked only with
Bluestacks, so I will talk about the emulator settings using his example,
but the same can be done with others.
1) Download Bluestacks 5.
Next is the proxy. For a long time I used ipv4 proxies through Proxifier
software, purchasing them on different markets, but now I prefer to use
the Internet from my smartphone’s SIM card. I didn’t notice any
difference in the durability of the accounts on Reddit, except the fact
that posting limits appear on low-quality proxies.
Extraction and processing of traffic
The emulator profile is ready, proxies are already available. Now I’m
installing Reddit app on the emulator. It is necessary to buy an account
(that exists for at least six months) and avoid various limits for new users.
All the time I was working, I bought accounts here (1.5$ per account with
8 months of check-in).
The account was bought, I log in and see the usual news feed on the
socials (screenshot on the left). The icon on the top right is my profile.
To work on these topics, you need to enable the display of 18+ content
in the profile settings, otherwise, the necessary subreddits where I’ll post
content won’t be displayed.
Every Reddit profile has karma points. The more visitors will like your
content, the more Karma points you’ll have. In general, local likes. The
purchased account is empty. I’ll arrange it now.
As for the avatar and banner, I take random photos from the Internet.
The name also doesn’t play a role, I put the first thing that came to mind
(screen above).
So, can you post? No. Reddit doesn’t allow accounts with zero activity to
post smth (a post can be posted, but without views). Therefore, you
need to leave 3-5 comments under other people’s posts, and get minimal
traffic to your profile. Since my profile is clearly female, the audience of
18+ subreddits will give us a “like” for no reason, or send us a private
message, which will also make the account active.
In the search bar above the feed, I go to any 18+ community (I’ll tell you
where to look for them below). In this case, I chose a subreddit with 4
million users to get feedback and karma faster.
I see the first post that comes across and leave a comment under it:
I repeat this a couple of times under other posts and wait.
I won’t go into the details of creating a Snap account, it all makes sense.
Snapchat account I keep on my phone so that I can add new friends from
Reddit anytime, anywhere. The emulator also works without problems.
The subreddit list exists. It is called r/ListOfSubreddits and shows the list
of subreddits of 18+ category
To make a post you need to click + button in the bottom of the page,
then choose the type of content (photo/text/video etc) and write short
catchy title
Videos to Reddit are downloaded via the link. For that purpose I’ve taken
random instastories, add to the redgifs.com service (alternatively you
can use Imgur) and gotten the link.

Recommendations:
1. The cases turned out to be long, but in fact, the way from the
beginning to the first conversions will take 30 minutes or less. The
emulator profile can be set up once, and then just copy it to
BlueStacks 5 Multi-Instance Manager by simply setting up the ID
and serial numbers of the profile.
7. When I used good proxies, I did not notice any limits on posting.
I’ve posted 3-4 posts every 10 minutes manually and didn’t get
bans. Poor quality proxy usually has limits on posting (1 post per
15 min) or shadow-banning is possible.
Conclusion:
This case will live as long as 18+ sections on Reddit. The forum has a huge
amount of audience, both old and new, so the traffic won’t go anywhere
and there will be enough of it for everyone.
