Tech Reviews: Reddit vs Letit
If you don't know what Reddit is let me tell you: It's the biggest community platform in the world (if you consider a community platform as something separate from social media, like I do). It is among the top 10 most visited websites in the internet. It has lot of potential for making great conections and thanks to it I got a great high ticket client. Letit is a copy of Reddit, that I personaly find very interesting and promissing. Here is a complete breackdown of the pros and cons of each. ---> Reddit PROS: - It's a huge platform with all kinds of users. - If you look at the right places you will find very high quality conections that will be genuinely open to talk to you and give you opportunities you won't find anywhere else. - It's a SEO goldmine. What does that mean? It means that when someone googles an anwer to a question, if that question was answered on Reddit, it will be one of the first results. And if you're the one giving that answer, all the credit goes to you. That's how I got my client, by answering questions people made there. AI also loves using Reddit's answers as a reference. - You can find a community for every single niche there. There is a community for talking about eggs that has thousands of active users posting every day, for example. You will most definetelly find people talking about your very specific niche there. CONS: - It has a very anti consumerism culture. Advertizing under performs there compared to other social platforms. - For the reason above, getting clients on Reddit is very tricky. Self promotion is a sin. Any sort of CTA in your posts, as subtle as they might look, will get you downvoted to oblivion and sometimes even baned. You need a very specific approach for doing marketing there. - Moderation is very annoying and toxic in a lot of places. Reddit's moderators are volunteers with God complexes, that will a lot of times ban users for the most stupid reasons. - It's completely annonymous. You can use your name and photo there but that's not the culture. As a result, it's hard to build your brand using Reddit and also hard to find brands to compare to yours. Reddit is all about focusing on content and rejecting brands.
