Karma Growth Strategies
Comment Early, Comment Often
Sort by New or Rising in popular subreddits. Early comments on posts that blow up earn hundreds of karma. Aim for 10-15 thoughtful comments daily.
Target Medium Subreddits
Subreddits with 100K-500K members give the best karma ROI. Large enough for visibility, small enough to avoid being buried.
Post at Peak Hours
Best times: Tue-Thu 8-10am EST. Posts published at peak hours get 3-5x more initial upvotes, which compounds with Reddit's algorithm.
Tell Stories, Not Pitches
Personal stories and "lessons learned" posts consistently outperform advice posts. Share your experience with vulnerability and specifics.
Answer Questions
r/AskReddit, r/explainlikeimfive, and niche Q&A threads are karma goldmines. Detailed, well-formatted answers get consistent upvotes.
Add Value First
Never self-promote until you have 1000+ karma from genuine participation. Build trust, then share your work naturally in context.
