Getting traffic from reddit is definitely effective. Getting traffic that converts into customers is more of a challenge.

Seems like every rando on reddit will follow a link, but few of them will actually engage with your product. So unless your goal is actually a chart showing a lot of visitors, I've found that less traffic from better sources is a better strategy.

true, I still need to figure that out since I just started reddit marketing. But also I think if you do it on the right subreddits then the traffic should be of a good quality. What other sources have you used?

I am sorry to report that Facebook gives me the best conversions. I really wish it weren't true, but it is.

To be clear, engaging with people directly in groups and talking about what I do is more effective than ads. All marketing goes over better when you are a part of a community vs. projecting ads in front of people.
