A non-obvious Reddit growth hack

Two days ago, I launched a simple job newsletter with 10-20 jobs published every 12 hours, and pushed it to three places:

  • Reddit

  • LinkedIn (company page)

  • Telegram

The result was a noticeable traffic boost to my portal aitrainer.jobs.

Before the distribution, the site was getting around ~300 clicks per day.
After posting on Reddit, traffic jumped to ~1,000 clicks per day.

Here’s the non-obvious part 👇

The hack is simple: posting to your own subreddit still works, even with zero subscribers.

When you post in your own subreddit, those posts are:

  • indexed by Reddit search

  • discoverable via Google

  • shown to users searching for specific keywords

In my case, the subreddit currently has 0 subscribers, yet individual posts still get 50–100 views from search alone — and people click through to the site.

So technically, you’re not only “comment-spamming” on Reddit…
you’re publishing searchable content across the entire platform.

The setup is straightforward:
RSS → Make.com → Reddit

Curious if others are using Reddit search this way, or if you’ve seen similar results.
