As the title says, this article will contain more details on the channels used for the promotion of crypto-related clients, usually during our Premium #2 marketing service. Know that during this service, we create all the content used for posts and comments, including infographics and memes. If you want us to use your content as well, that's fine! It would simplify our marketing tasks. Most of the threads are monitored. This means that we ensure that they have enough activity, and the positive/neutral comments stay at the top, while the negative ones are sent to the bottom with downvotes. If you'd put a dollar value to this marketing package based on our cost of the individual marketing actions performed, you'd find out that you save a lot of money and time. Imagine having to buy Reddit upvotes for all the posts and comments individually... even your time and mindshare spent on this would be worth a lot. Here are the main networks where we will promote you for Premium #2:

• 4chan's Business & Finance community (this gets a lot of traffic from crypto investors and users, and more than 30 new posts per minute)
• More than 30 communities from Reddit (in parantheses, numbers of subscribers as of 2021.10.21). Even some of the smaller subreddits that we would target are full of degenerates willing to invest or join various crypto communities. And on some of those that don't fit that well for your crypto project, we might promote you in the comment sections of top threads.

Note that we usually do 2-3 top threads per day, and in the next few days we target other subreddits. Afterward, we might cycle back to the first communities where we've posted, and try other marketing approaches.

We also promote you in:

• Quora, in various topics related to crypto or where promoting makes sense. All of these are getting a lot of traffic from search engines, not just from people who have been tagged with interest for these topics or have followed the topics themselves. Some examples:
  • Cryptocurrencies (638k)
  • Currencies (1.8m)
  • Investing (5.8m)
  • Finance (27.2m)
  • Trading - finance (2.4m)
  • Trading - cryptocurrency (75.5k)
  • Bitcoin (569.3k)
  • Blockchain Technology (124.6k)
  • Blockchain Databases (169.7k)
  • Ether - cryptocurrency (42.4k)
  • Making Money Online (1.1m)
  • Digital Currency (123.3k)
  • Digital Wallets (114.8k)
  • Website Recommendations (1.2m)
  • Websites (2.4m)

Note that topics are created by Quora moderators and can be assigned automatically or manually to content. But Quora also has Reddit-like communities which can be used to promote. They are called "spaces". They are moderated by the users who created them, and by whoever else is assigned the power.

• Quora, in various spaces created by its users. Some examples:
  • Crypto - Blockchain (51k)
  • Crypto Network (13.3k)
  • In Bitcoin We Trust (73.7k)
  • Cryptocurrency (45.8k)
  • The Crypto Cave (22.9k)
  • Cryptocurrency News (29.5k)
  • Ethereum Outbreak (10.4k)

To recap for Quora: "Topic" is a tag applied to content (usually questions) so that the algorithm will know what it is about. Users follow topics, as well as other users, and the algorithm uses those follows in order to determine which questions and answers will appear in each user's feed. "Space" is a virtual space organized by one or more users around a theme they are interested in, for the purpose of sharing and upvoting good related content. This content doesn't have to be in the question-and-answer format; it could be in the form of links outside of Quora and opinion pieces.

Other places where we can promote:

• Hacker News. We usually do it in the comment sections of threads created by us. In the first few days after we've started promoting we can also do a ShowHN thread. This is a type of allowed self-promotional content where we present the crypto product.
• BitcoinTalk. We keep bumping the thread created by the client for his project in the Announcements section, and we might create our own threads in other categories. We also post in popular threads that are getting a lot of traffic from both inside the forum and search engines.

We have certain services that can be purchased separately, and they might help crypto-related projects. For example, upvotes when you're launching on Product Hunt and 5-star ratings (less useful). This can usually be done only once, but the traffic it gets for 24 hours is crazy.

With the help of or only through collaborators, we offer other crypto marketing services here. We always recommend starting out only with Premium #2. It's usually enough.

Buying Reddit account from our dedicated page offers some advantages that justify the high price:

• we keep the accounts that are for sale separate from the ones used to process orders; this means that there's no risk of receiving a ban at some later point when Reddit does their usual blanket ban on connected accounts
• we registered or bought most of the accounts ourselves from multiple sources before 2016, therefore their age is amazing; the exception here are standard accounts, which need to be so bad compared to our average that we have to keep registering accounts from time to time just to have something to sell in this category
• even though when you buy Reddit accounts from us you only choose one aspect in which they excel, it is hard for us to find accounts that don't excel in more than two ways; of the last 50 orders, we probably delivered 49 accounts that were much better than the buyer expected

After you buy a Reddit account with karma and decent age, do this:

1. Don't change its email and password immediately. Wait a few days for each.
2. User Settings ➡️ Manage third-party app authorization ➡️ Revoke access to any app that hasn't been added by you personally!
3. In the same category of settings, "Show up in search results" needs to be enabled, and we recommend disabling everything else.

Some general tips on how to promote from the account that you're buying:

1. Identify the communities where your target market is, then subscribe and start making activity on them, preferably comments instead of new posts.
2. Try to post at least 3 comments between any promotional thread that you might submit.
3. Always be on the lookout for highly ranked threads where you are able to reply to the top comment and somehow point to your landing page. These are great opportunities for long-term traffic.

What kind of traffic does Hacker News bring? What's the conversion rate?

If you make it top 3 on the main page, that probably means you got 10 upvotes from us and at least 90 organic upvotes, for a total of 100 or more. You'll stay there less than a day, then you'll fall to page two. which brings surprisingly good traffic still. Expect around 20-30k uniques, 2% out of which will respond to your non-monetary call to action. If you also sell something, expect more than 10 purchases.

What kind of content should I put there?

Anything that you won't see on the eight o'clock news, but it would lift ones' understanding of the world. It could be interesting knowledge that is hard to stumble upon yourself. Sadly, it's also often about what's happening at the big corporations. If any big executive at AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, FB or GOOG pees in a public place, you'll see it on Hacker News.

What's a good title?

Unlike Reddit, where you'd go for a long title that makes it very clear what the content or discussion is about, on HN you keep it short. Here are some titles that are either good or bad, try to guess which is which (answers after):

• A great way to build friendships!
• 10 ways in which you can improve your likeability factor
• [myhistoryblog.com] Reasons for the collapse of the Mongol Empire
• Reasons for the collapse of the Mongol Empire [myhistoryblog.com]
• Good article about the collapse of the Mongol Empire
• ShowHN: App that uses machine learning to tell you how beautiful you are
• AskHN: What are the best books to learn about thermodynamics?
• The 5 platonic solids
• What Korean girls find attractive
• What Japanese men look for in a woman [pdf]

Answers to the quiz from above: only the last three titles are fine to use.

More details about the guidelines here. Are here are the specific guidelines for Show HN posts. Notice that it's "Show HN" instead of "ShowHN". You need that space. Same with "Ask HN: ...?".

How do I tell my friends to upvote?

Copy-paste this to each of them:

Hello, my dearest friend! You've always been #1 for me. If you have a Hacker News account with at least 50 karma, please go here https://news.ycombinator.com/newest, find my post titled "How to murder your neighbor's dog", and upvote it. Thank you, greatly appreciated! If you ever need my help as well, let me know!

What kind of accounts do you use?

In order to upvote normal posts, we use accounts that average 800 karma. HN's algorithm that controls front-page visibility for new posts can be approximated by the statements that follow. To reach the main page guaranteed (unless your post gets downgraded by a mod or receives two or more reports), you need to have been upvoted by more than 10000 karma from at least two different accounts. Do the math. This means you can't post low-quality content, as even with our help, you will additionally need some organic upvotes from quality accounts. Don't factor downvotes into the equation, because there's no such button for HN posts; it only shows up on comments to high karma accounts.

How many moderators are there? Many of them aren't truly active with filtering content, but at the end of 2017 there were a bit more than 50 accounts with superuser powers. A few accounts were on the other spectrum, being so active that it makes you realize that they must hold no power or ability of value creation in their daily life. Otherwise, they wouldn't have focused so much on this unpaid job.

If your post is of obvious low-quality, like "Gaming laptops that you can buy online for under $2,000", we will upvote you with the accounts that we normally use for commenting. The total karma received will be much lower, therefore you'd better be hoping that we were wrong and that you'll receive enough high-quality organic upvotes to compensate. Your post will still be a lot more visible in the section for new items. We might recommend you to delete it so that we repost it ourselves with a title that respects the HN guidelines. This comes at no extra charge for you, it's just something that we need to do from time to time in order to protect our accounts. If your posts are outright spam, we'll refund you in credit, which you can use for another order.

For commenting, since no one actually clicks usernames to check their karma, we use low-karma accounts that in the rest of the time do domain-targeted upvoting, each on its own schedule. We're trying to grow them so that we can move them in our upvoters pool.

For posts, we use accounts that haven't been penalized in the past by the automoderator's algorithm. There´s a surprisingly easy trick that can be used to determine if an account is penalized or not, and we use it regularly to check the accounts from our posting pool.

Anything else that I should know?

You can create polls if you have more than 200 karma: https://news.ycombinator.com/newpoll

Comment sections are ranked in the same way as posts, which means that time matters as well, not just the amount of upvotes received.

The karma of the account used to post does not matter! It only matters that it hasn't been penalized in the past by the auto-moderator. Obviously, it shouldn't be a new account because it looks suspicious and the benchmark that you must hit in order to have the post moved to the front page is higher.

Formatting for HN texts: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

Reposts are OK, if enough time has passed since the last duplicate submission that did not get enough interest. Maybe try a better title this time!

If your IP got banned because you've been using the website too fast, unban using this link from another IP (like the one mobile data would give you): http://news.ycombinator.com/unban?ip=...

At this point, you should have enough information. But if you want to see some basics as well, check out HN's own Q&A.

You can purchase Hacker News services from us. We've been doing it publicly since 2004.

Many of our clients use only Quora in order to get leads for their products, which is why they often have us monitoring the Quora Questions that bring them traffic. Even though the service description is easy to understand, it is not thorough. In this article, we'll give an example of what's being done for this service. Below, we pasted the current service description, and we'll follow with an example question+answer, and what would be done for it:

Your answer will be upvoted, while the competition is downvoted, daily. This lasts one week. Whenever no such actions are needed, Question Follows are provided instead, which increases traffic to the question. We also use other types of actions for this service, like Thank, Bookmark, Report, Share, Comment, Edit topics, Suggest edits.

Now, for a more extensive example... What would we have done for the answer that now stands at the top in the question below?

This is a question showing up in the "Algorithmic Trading", "Tutorials" and "List Question" topics. Let's consider that our client has "Denis Bykov"'s answer, which we have already managed to raise to the top in the previous days. Since we're upvoting with quality accounts that are often subscribed and active in the topics of the question, the answers that we target can get to #1 while often having smaller upvote counts than the competition.

Now that the answer is in a solid position, below are some examples of the actions that we might take during one day:

• Remove the "Tutorials" topic that only has 6.8K subscribers, and add "Trading" instead. This comes with 2 million readers. If we would have added the big topic too early, it would have been harder to get the answer to the first position. In the coming days, more topics will be added.
• The question will be receiving more traffic because of the above, and we'll make sure that the answer maintains its position. We'll mostly concentrate on downvoting new answers that have a chance of challenging #1. If we see our client's answer getting downvoted more than we can handle, we'll email him and ask to improve the content of the answer. We might even suggest the modifications ourselves through Quora's "Suggest Edits" button.
• We'll keep adding a few question follows each day, in order to gain even more traffic for the question. It will show up in the feeds of more and more people who have followed various topics. Temporarily (for at most a few days at a time), we might change main topics of the question so that it gets a higher percentage of "fresh eyes".
• When it makes sense (often), we will add the kind of comments that start a discussion to your answer's comment section, or the kind of comments that confirm its statements.

Since what you're reading now is the favorite blog of our competitors, we won't reveal here the most effective and the newest methods that can be applied, but do know this: we've been in this business through this website since 2016, and some of us have been using Quora since September 2011. Their team dislikes us greatly, and they have banned the domains through which we sell our Quora services soon after finding out that "it's them again! 😒😒". Meanwhile, our competitors from Pakistan, India, etc., who only use bots for their services, haven't even had the domains of their businesses banned. That's because they are exactly the kind of "puppet masters" that Quora can handle. Their bot networks are taken down every few months together with the answers that they've upvoted, and afterward, they just boot up again the script registering shitty unrealistic accounts. Meanwhile, what we do is what real persons do on Quora, using our own accounts, through methods that cannot be distinguished from any other real Quora user. There's no comparison. Funny enough, we've even often reported their bot networks ourselves, and we've even published lists of their users to make it easy for the Quora team. So maybe they should like us more?

To close, do know that we also offer fully managed marketing services (normal, or for crypto-related products/services), where we use various marketing techniques like the ones summarized in this article. We won't promote you just on Reddit, even though that often ends up being the main source of traffic; instead, we will adapt and do whatever seems to work best for your target market. While we do this, you'll be able to concentrate fully on other aspects of your business. Getting specialized help is often what's needed to save time and achieve that optimal monthly profit and growth rate.

We're adding this to the Advanced category because it's easy to say, hard to do. While getting caught up in marketing, you might forget to put as much effort in optimizing your website. You need to use Hotjar to see what your users are doing, you need to read about conversion rate optimization and actually apply the learned skills, and you will need to keep improving the code of your website.

What does "improving the code" mean? Google and other search engines will rank you better if they see your website as having proper:

• Performance - how fast is your website? how long since the URL is typed until the user can actually use your website?
• Accessibility - how do users who are experiencing some kind of impairment or disability experience your website?
• Best Practices - how well is your website built? (this looks at everything from HTTPS usage to correct image aspect ratios)
• SEO - how discoverable is the important content of your website?

You will need to assess the above four dimensions with tools like web.dev, tools.pingdom.com (always use the same location!), and gtmetrix.com

The former website is the most important, since it's operated by Google itself. Here's for example how they're ranking us on the four dimensions:

The sad reality is that if you're using some kind of CMS (like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal), you should form the habit of re-checking rankings after each theme update. This translates to around once per month on average. A lot of things change when themes, plugins or the CMS's themselves get updated. Some of those changes are negative, and you will have some fixing to do in order to keep up your high rankings. Good luck in staying consistent!

P.S. - if you want to run your website through even more validators in order to eventually optimize it, we have exactly the article for you!

All these marketing services are for fundraising (through ICO, STO, ETO, CoinList, IFO, etc.), and any entities dealing with smart contract platforms or cryptocurrencies. Most of these services are offered by collaborators, and we take no fee for acting as the intermediary. We're bringing them clients, and they're doing the same for us.

Email Marketing

For a cost of 3.9 ETH, 13,155,386 records are used from 13 databases (forum.ethereum.org, mtgox.com, bitcointalk.org, ...)
8.4 mil emails are sent to people who haven't clicked the unsubscribe button before. Email status reports are delivered to clients throughout the campaign which takes around two weeks to complete.

UPDATE: more databases and emails are used now, but the total amount of emails sent is only slightly higher because they've had a lot of unsubscriptions.

Needed beforehand:
* payment
* subject (preferably at least 10 versions)
* body in HTML format (preferably at least 4 versions)
* email for reports

Marketing through Chinese (Mandarin) crypto-related forums and social media channels (including for trading and speculation)

$4,900 per month

Pre-requisites for this and the following similar services:

• We will ask you for certain texts which we'll translate, and we'll also create our own copies which you will have a chance to review before they go "in production".
• If it's for an ICO or another type of fundraising, for efficiency reasons, this has to be ordered at least two weeks before the start of the token sale.
• If it's for a cryptocurrency or a project that has already had its token sale, this service has to be contracted for a period of two months or more (exceptions: Japanese and Korean languages).

Other info:

• You will receive screenshots with all the posts that are made, in real-time, through a shared Google Document. Where links can be provided, they will be provided as well.

Marketing through channels for natives other than English or Chinese

At the moment these are possible, each with different contractors: Spanish ($4,900), Hindi ($4,450), Japanese ($6,500), South Korean ($7,500), Portuguese ($5,500). Arabic will be available soon. Any of these will be available if enough people request it: Cantonese, Russian, German, French, Italian.

Reddit whole-website monitoring

$900 per day

Using a script, we'll monitor on Reddit.com in real-time the keywords of your choice related to a single project (for example "Cardano" or "IOTA"), and we'll keep commenting positively about them while replying to all critiques and debating them. We'll need first a FAQ from you to help, with possible critiques and possible answers. This must be purchased for at least 7 days.

This article will discuss some of the digital marketing techniques that we apply when promoting projects related to "crypto".

This includes any of these, either new or existing:

• cryptocurrencies (like NANO, Monero, etc.)
• smart-contract platforms (like Ethereum, Cardano, etc.)
• ICO's and IEO's (Initial Coin/Exchange Offerings)
• STO's and ETO's (Security/Equity Token Offerings)
• 2nd layer solutions
• centralized or non-custodial exchanges
• DAO's (decentralized autonomous organizations)
• dapps
• utility tokens, NFT's (non-fungible tokens), stablecoins, governance tokens, etc.
• DeFi liquidity pools
• smart-contracts in general (most of the above are included in this)

Our services have been used directly or resold by:

• other marketing companies
• advisors
• community managers, marketers or other staff belonging to the companies doing the fundraising
• investors with large shares of certain tokens
• swing traders
• etc.

They've been satisfied, and many have been returning with different products and services to promote in the past years.

For those reselling, it's easy to add even 300% on top because our prices are below average. Consider doing the reading and understanding our capabilities fully. We know there's a lot of information (including examples) in multiple articles, but we did it for those who want to go into detail.

If you want to advance straight to marketing your product, Premium #2 is our strongest fully-managed option.

You will have a campaign manager that will choose ops for you on a daily basis--whatever fits best from our capabilities depending on what would be best to promote currently (positive feedback on Reddit, the latest article mentioning your product, latest tweet from an Ethereum influencer, etc). The rest of the team will implement said strategy. With marketing settled, you will be able to focus on other aspects of your business.

For those reselling our services, it usually goes like this:

1. buy credit for each of your clients;
2. keep separate tabs on them (we'll keep as well);
3. send links to promote or request specific services to the campaign manager that will be assigned to you;
4. get reports back with what was done, including the credit report of your client;
5. for those clients of yours that have bigger budgets, also get services from the second article that contains additional marketing services for non-English markets, and more.

Below are a few examples of the kind of things that we can do, and their associated costs. The article will end with some packages that make it easier for crypto-related projects to deal with us by having us manage a large part of the marketing operations.

We can promote you on Quora

Monitored Quora questions in these, and any other topics:
https://www.quora.com/topic/Cryptocurrencies
https://www.quora.com/topic/Ethereum-blockchain-app-platform
https://www.quora.com/topic/Bitcoin
To monitor on Quora, this service should be used (mentioned here because it's the most expensive part of the order):
https://upvotes.club/buy/monitor-quora-question/

Recommended purchase, one month before the ICO:

1 x Quora Question
2 x Quora Answer
1 x Quora Comment
4 x Monitor Quora Question
$396.50

The question could be something like "What is the most overlooked ICO right now in the ***** sector?"

We can promote you on Reddit

Monitored Reddit threads in any subreddit related to cryptocurrencies.
To monitor on Reddit, this service should be used (mentioned here because it's the most expensive part of the order):
https://upvotes.club/buy/monitor-reddit-post/

Having your posts done on Reddit (especially the first ones that mention the ICO) without Monitor Thread is highly inadvisable. Even great ICOs will get ripped apart.

Example purchase, for /r/cryptocurrency or /r/ethtrader, where we have moderator accounts:

1 x Reddit Post
40 x Reddit Upvote Post
90 x Reddit Downvote Competing Posts or Comments (these would be used against other posts only)
4 x Reddit Comment (two of them would be kept in reserve, for example in order to answer to a hater if needed)
1 x Monitor Reddit Post
$188.70

The idea is to keep reminding people about the ICO, every 2-3 days, through different locations/techniques. Ideas for posts:

• Have a blog for the ICO, and link to every new blog post in related subreddits.
• Link to tweets or other types of social media posts that mention the ICO project positively.
• Link to videos, podcasts, or other types of media that mentions the ICO project positively.
• Link to 3rd party articles that mention the ICO positively. With these ones, even go for huge subreddits like /r/technology, /r/finance, /r/futurology, ...
• Present the project with long descriptive titles in subreddits that could be interested in it, while linking directly to the website.
• Create “What’s your opinion” or “Which is better” threads in /r/ethtrader, /r/icocrypto, /r/CryptoCurrencies, /r/CryptoCurrency, /r/Altcoin, /r/CryptoMarkets, etc.  Because of "Reddit Monitor Thread", the positive opinions will be sent on top, while the negative ones are kept at the bottom.
• Find threads where people discuss new ICOs, and bring a comment mentioning yours positively to the top of the comment section.

We can promote you on Hacker News

Link on Hacker News to the white paper, and to the more technical blog posts. You can also create a “Show HN:” thread for the whole project, and an “Ask HN: What’s your opinion …” thread.

For “Ask HN”:

1x Hacker News Post
1x Hacker News Comment
5x Hacker News Upvote
$39.75

For “Show HN” and technical posts:

Same as above, but 10 upvotes instead of 5
$49.50

We can promote you on BitcoinTalk

Bump your ANN thread from time to time. Bumps will be questions to developers, positive commentary on the technology, discussions between accounts, and so on. The English used will be impeccable, and the comments will blend well in the thread.
Buy the “BitcoinTalk Bump” service from the main page, for each bump that you want ($4.5).
Recommended: starting one month before, five bumps per day. We’ll spread them out, for more effectiveness.

At the rate of 5 bumps per day:

$22.5 daily, $675 for one whole month

If you want to just test our services, this is an easy way to start. Just go to our main page https://upvotes.club, add 15 BitcoinTalk bumps in the cart and complete the checkout while pasting the link to your ANN thread at Order Notes. This should give you a proper sample of the quality of our services.

We can promote you on cryptocurrency-related forums, Facebook groups, and LinkedIn groups

If you buy Forums Traffic for an ICO or cryptocurrency-related project, we post on all the popular cryptocurrency-related forums (BitcoinTalk, AllCryptoTalk, etc.). But don't expect this to be as cost-effective as the above strategies. We also don't provide the accounts that were used (meaning you won't get the users and the passwords); you will only receive the links to where posts have been made.

Regarding promotion in Fb/LinkedIn groups, again, this is not as effective as the first strategies listed in this article. When ordering this, you'll receive the list of groups that we'll be targeting in the following days. We use very organic-looking texts that are able to spark discussions, for example, "Opinions on ...? I like how [...]".

We can promote you on Product Hunt, and we have a whole article just about that.

We can also help with email marketing and promoting through non-English social media channels.

We can apply strategies that we apply to product launches (long article, but the information is worth knowing). A collaborating marketing agency helps us with most of those.

Costs of our services

We do not offer bulk discounts.

We do not participate in Bounty Campaigns.

We only accept payment through the main cryptocurrencies and PayPal / wire transfer. We prefer the former. We do not take tokens.

We have an NDA in our Terms of Service, with all of our customers, regardless of the plan you choose:

No Plan

• The client creates his own texts and strategy.
• The client orders normally through the website, whenever he needs something. At checkout, we accept the main cryptocurrencies.

Premium #1

• The client buys credit for $1,800 or more, all paid in the beginning. 20% of the deposit goes towards support, he’ll be able to use the rest for ops. The ops are acquired through the website with the "Deduct from credit" option at checkout.
• We receive whatever texts the client can provide, and we also create our own when needed.
• The client will order through the website with “Deduct from credit”, only when he knows exactly what’s needed. Otherwise, he’ll message us on Skype about it. We’ll help him optimize each order that he messages us about.
• We’ll do one Twitter campaign for each $1,800 bought in credit. We retweet with powerful accounts that have >90% at twitteraudit. Follower counts: ~500k, ~450k, ~50k, ~30k.

Premium #2

• The client buys credit for $3,600 or more, all paid in the beginning. 20% of the deposit goes towards campaign management and support, he’ll be able to use the rest for ops.
• Everything in Premium #1, but we’ll also propose ops ourselves. Not limited at the above strategies. For the ops that we propose, we also do: voat.co, hubski.com, empeopled.com, slashdot.org, snapzu.com, Fb/G+, LinkedIn (rarely), etc.
• If the client chooses so, this can be fully managed. He will have a campaign manager to which he emails new links where the ICO has been mentioned, and the campaign manager sets up the most efficient ops himself, taking care of the copies and the strategy completely. The client receives regular reports and credit updates.
• We’ll do one Twitter campaign for each $1,200 bought in credit.
• We’ll analyze their website/ANN thread/technical papers/code repository from the perspective of a buyer.

If you need a more global promotion, check out our article on additional marketing services for cryptocurrencies or ICOs, which has some very different, powerful and targeted strategies.

In order for you to understand the process better, I'll be pasting below the kind of email you receive from the campaign manager assigned to you, immediately after having bought Premium #2:

Credit added on your email. I will be your main UC contact helping with the marketing campaign for your project.

How do you want this?

• Fully Managed - Meaning that I take care of scheduling ops, you just send me through email new links where your project was mentioned positively. You'd receive reports with what has been scheduled, the results, and credit updates. Of course, nothing is set in stone, you can always request modifications to the ops that I schedule.
• Support - I send you 5-15 ops ideas based on the material that you send us, then you get inspired by them and schedule ops through the website with "Deduct from credit", and whenever you need help or feedback you email me (or you ask whoever is on Skype at the moment).

Since you're on Premium #2, you can choose any method you prefer. Do note that we prefer clients to choose Fully Managed, simply because we're better at choosing how and when to target each community, depending on what we're posting at the time.

The main idea is to have monitored posts on Reddit regularly, so that we keep reminding people about the project. Of course, we should also do Quora, BitcoinTalk bumps, even Hacker News when we have some interesting techie articles. If I put together some good texts, we can also promote on Facebook and Google+ crypto-related groups, and on crypto-related forums.

For the Twitter campaigns, I'll just need links to your best tweets sent to this email, and I'll handle it from there.

Regardless of your choice, when replying to this email please include any of the following that you want used for promoting your project:

• whatever marketing texts you might have prepared
• whatever articles discuss your project
• whatever (YouTube?) videos discuss your project
• whatever podcast episodes discuss your project
• do you have a blog? if yes, then links to what you consider to be the best articles
• whatever social media posts (preferable from reputable accounts) mention your project
• a list of your competitors, and why your project is superior to each one

In this post, we'll add random internet marketing tips, mostly related to our types of marketing (the ones that work for a good price). To be honest, we also like the bolded keyword because it has low competition, therefore we're hoping to have more people land from Google on our website and check the services that we offer because of this article. So, without further ado, below are some tips, and this post will be updated whenever something new comes up in our minds:

• If you contracted us to make a post or comment that leads to your website, don't go into the comment section to start replying as someone associated with the website! This is a huge red flag that makes people immediately realize that the post is actually a non-organic marketing ploy. Defending yourself with "I saw the referral in Google Analytics!" doesn't work. You'll get a reply similar to this one: So you're just sitting there, watching Google Analytics, waiting for some visit to your page in order to check its referral? Sorry, but this seems so staged, it's retarded. (actual comment received by someone who made this mistake)
• An exception to the above rule is when we're posting as if we'd be associated with your website (for example, in the Show HN area from Hacker News). In these cases, if there's a need for it, we'll give you temporary access to the account that we used to post, in order to answer any questions yourself.
• If you are curious about when is the best time to post on Reddit, read the article that we have on that. If you're hiring us to do the posts for you, consider letting us choose the best times depending on the networks and the post locations. Just specify at checkout that we have free rein with the scheduling. Or don't write anything regarding to when the posts should be made.
• To find out where you could post on Reddit, use this tool: https://www.delayforreddit.com/discover. It helps identify subreddits that have an interest in your keywords. A higher score means that a subreddit is more aligned with your topic. After identifying a subreddit, you can find where your target market is spending the rest of their time with https://anvaka.github.io/sayit/?query=
• Adding "/about/traffic" at the end of the URL for a subreddit to see its traffic stats doesn't work anymore.
• On Hacker News, you can bypass the filter not allowing URL reposts by adding variables to them. For example, https://upvotes.club would become https://upvotes.club?upvote=thanks
• Do you want to mention in the body of a text post a URL to a domain that is banned? No problem, just run the ending part of the URL partially through an obfuscator. We use this one: http://www.webhostingforest.com/seo-tools/tools/uo.html. For example, in order to post our link on Reddit, you would have to use something like this [text here](https://u%70%76%6f%74%65%73%2e%63%6c%75%62)
• On Hacker News, while the post is new, it might not matter how much you upvote it after a certain point. After fewer than 10 early upvotes with great accounts, you'll usually make it to the front page. It usually stays there, but sometimes one of these two happens: HN moderators might demote the post or you might receive too many reports. Since the traffic on the website is very high, this can happen so fast that you wouldn't even realize you've made it to the front page for a bit. A good strategy is to buy only a few upvotes first in order to make your post visible; then, after it remains approved for 30 minutes or more, buy more upvotes in order to rank it better, or to help maintain its good position. A lot more details in our information article specific to Hacker News.
• Make sure you always read the rules before posting (on Reddit, you would find them on the sidebar). Modify your title and content accordingly! On some subreddits, if the option is available, flair you post after submission (this means you tag it for a subcategory). Here's how: https://www.reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery/comments/1uq68v/how_to_flair_your_post/
• Use this tool to create memes and make your target audience smile! :)

And since it's important to have a perfect landing page as well:

• Use this tool, or use the free tier of "site audit" from SemRush (honestly, not worth paying for more!) to analyze the SEO prowess of your pages. Both are free and good enough.
• Use this tool to discover new keywords for your SEO ops. The list that the free version gives you is enough.
• Use this tool to discover keywords that you wouldn't have thought about, but will make search engines understand the content better.
• Check the performance of your website: https://gtmetrix.com, https://tools.pingdom.com, and especially https://web.dev/measure.
• Check your website's availability, and the consistency in page size: https://www.uptrends.com/tools/uptime

Bookmark this article, and come to it from time to time. More internet marketing tips will be added in it, and more articles will be added to our blog, which has two categories: basics and advanced!

Buy Reddit upvotes and other marketing services from our main page! Here's an article that discusses buying Reddit upvotes. On our website, you can also buy Reddit accounts.

• How much traffic can Hacker News bring? The question should be: "How much traffic can Hacker News bring if I make it to the front page?". Answer: it depends greatly on how clickbaity your title is. It can bring from 20k to 65k in the first 24 hours.
• Same question, but for GrowthHackers: you'll get between 1,000 and 2,500 views in the first 24 hours. Most of these will be from business owners though, and in general... people with a lot of money, technical knowledge and influence. A big difference to Hacker News is that you'll keep getting a decent number of clicks, even after the first 24 hours.

A successful business starts with a successful product launch. In collaboration with another marketing agency, we can take care of everything that will be required to start the engine of influx: the right people will find out about your website or creative content through various pathways built by us, and ultimately they will convert to paying customers or fans.

This article is a presentation of our Successful Product Launch service. Don't think of it as usable only for promoting a website. This service may also be employed (and has been in the past) for crowd-funding campaigns on public platforms, music albums, online documentaries, promoting decentralized projects with working MVPs, SaaS products, fundraising, and so on. We've even promoted other marketing agencies, giving them proper exposure in the niche or the country that they were targeting.

This is not a classic PR gig like most marketing companies offer (even though when it fits, the marketing agency that we collaborate with might ask for a press kit and pitch certain news angles to journalists). When it comes to PR, we are of the opinion that simply signing up for an account with prnewswire and having the founder write a press release from time to time is enough. Alternatively, he can launch free press releases using prlog.org. No need to use a lot of time and dignity by going after journalists yourself.

We start this service by thoroughly analyzing your offering and its marketability, and then recommending certain changes that will help us promote it, or might increase the conversion rate of first-time visitors. We usually appoint one person to stay in contact with the client through Telegram or Skype, to help coordinate what will be done. In the past, we used to create a Slack group where we integrated Mention, your Analytics solution, and other addons that helped us assess the exposure. Multiple representatives from us and the second marketing agency were discussing with the client various approaches. Afterward, they had to coordinate with each other. This had become unsustainable because managing and discussing in so many groups occupied too much of our time. We'd rather invest the time into marketing, and find ways to focus the discussion and the assessments of efficiency and strategy. We got to where we are now, where we do all the planning through one person. These first steps take 7 to 10 days, therefore we ask clients to try buying this service 2 weeks before their product goes live (or two weeks before they want the marketing to start if the product is already live). The earlier, the better.

We will acquire a complete understanding of your product/service, your potential clients, your competitors, and your needs. We'll be able to craft plans for the first few days of marketing, which you will approve or veto, or guide us on how to improve them. For the first few days of the product launch, we usually have a well-defined plan that we go through. Afterward, it's about adapting to the feedback and the data received, day by day. It mostly goes like this: while taking into account the effect of previous techniques and marketing copies, we propose ops to you; you approve, reject, or request changes to them. We implement them. This lasts for two weeks.

If you add the time-spans from the previous paragraphs, you'll find that it takes ~4 weeks to put your business on the tracks of success. Since we prefer for the process to not take longer than that, we reserve the right to filter our clients (and refund those who paid but would be too hard to promote). For this reason, if you have doubts about the marketability of your offering, drop an email to the address below, asking if what you have is a good fit for the Product Launch service:

In today's competitive world, a business needs to think differently in order to be successful. It needs to walk on the lesser-known paths. We are here to guide you. Some of our core objectives have always been:

• to think outside the box (except we actually do it, not just use these words because they are edgy)
• to be honest about what's required to achieve in order to promote something; we get our hands dirty, and that's why we rely on an NDA with every client
• to keep attempting to start viral threads (and often succeeding), so that bloggers and journalists end up coming to you, and influencers on social media share what you're hoping for without prior communication or payment - simply because you're doing something awesome!
• to keep adapting (improve our techniques in the next day, based on feedback received today)

Both us and the collaborating marketing agency will be tailoring our strategies based on your offering. We're not robots, going through the same set of steps over and over again, with different clients.

Because of the offering of Upvotes Club, you usually end up with highly visible threads on multiple social media networks, with positive comment sections. The posts & comments are made and monitored until the initial surge in traffic diminishes. The threads will show up high in search engine rankings for various keywords, and some of them will start chain reactions in online news sources and social media feeds. Some of the networks that we target with monitored ops:

• reddit.com (and no, we’re not posting in /r/promote, /r/imadethis, and other irrelevant subreddits, like others would do in order to simulate usefulness; we select subreddits where the target market resides)
• quora.com (questions and upvoted answers leading to your website; you'll be amazed by how many of these end up as the #1 result for various Google queries)

Networks that we target depending on the type of community that the product needs (some can be very effective):

• news.ycombinator.com
• growthhackers.com
• hubski.com
• the-artifice.com
• 4chan.org
• zeronet.io
• lobste.rs
• slashdot.org
• aminoapps.com
• kuende.com
• peepeth.com
• snapzu.com
• sociall.io
• cent.co
• bitcointalk.org
• gab.com
• joinmastodon.org
• minds.com
• friendi.ca
• mewe.com
• plurk.com
• ello.co
• scuttlebutt.nz
• designernews.co
• indiehackers.com

If necessary, you will receive temporary access to some of the accounts that we use to post for you, in order to reply to feedback, questions, and so on.

The other marketing agency will, similarly, customize its offering depending on your actual product or service. They can submit content (usually in the form of an article) mentioning your product on:

• fark.com
• various pods or instances on diasporafoundation.org, gnu.io and pleroma.social
• livejournal.com
• publish0x.com
• steemit.com and hive.blog (using these less lately because they've declined)
• metafilter.com
• micro.blog
• tumblr.com
• their own blog network (which also uses some free online publishing platforms like Medium, WordPress and Blogger)

If not done already by you, they will submit your startup to all the important directories (at least 40) and give you the credentials afterwards. These are platforms like betalist.com, alternativeto.net, capterra.com, g2crowd.com, etc.

Notice that they have access to a different arsenal than ours, making them a perfect complement. Some other strategies that they employ, often in collaboration with us:

• guest posting and subscription lists (these particular arrangements can end up costing you more though; not included in the normal price)
• possibility to get a link trending on stumbleupon.com
• upvotes on slickdeals.net
• reviews on App Store, Google Play, TrustPilot, Amazon
• reviews on Google Maps, Bing Maps, Apple Maps
• marketing in Facebook and LinkedIn groups
• tweets from accounts with many real followers (as checked with twitteraudit.com) and actual engagement

If you’re purchasing this service for a game on any platform, or for a cryptocurrency / smart contracts platform, know that there are so many communities that we could post on that we’ll have to choose only the most important ones. If you truly want posts everywhere, please buy this service two times for the same project, as our volume of work will be tremendous.

If you’re a perfectionist and you want to do absolutely everything that can be done, consider buying these additional and complementary services from our offer:

• The Ultimate SEO Gig (not really required, since you get a lot of SEO love anyway from the posts that we make)
• ProductHunt Upvotes (highly recommended)

Also create a Quora account that you'll be using to advertise your product or service through answers, then use Maximize PeopleRank to improve its importance and visibility in the topics that present interest to your company.

A successful product launch can be all the marketing that you ever need.

Fiverr scams are extremely prevalent, especially when it comes to marketing and advertising gigs. We are qualified to discuss them because most of us (from upvotes.club) have been into entrepreneurship (and especially marketing that actually works) for a combined total of over 200 years. We've been through the process of building a company or a side project time and time again. We know how it feels to be desperate to get exposure for your own product, service, cause, or creative content. And we realize the great dissonance that entrepreneurs feel when they open the Fiverr platform and see hard-to-believe-but-attractive offers from the people of Malawi, Burundi, Congo, and so on:

• I will bring aamazing trafic from my 2wo million subscriber evry day, envy for competition, only 5$ (also blowjob)
• I will improve SEO ranking, bring you to #!!!1 on Goggles, make envy for enemy, cash cash cash (it takes long, i dont have internet)
• For $5 I will create a full website for u, register business, design product, manufacture, makreting, start selling, you keep 200%, just give me $5 now really (P.S. don't xpect instant resultz!!.))

There are thousands of these. And the marvelous thing is that these people will actually have a multitude of 5-star reviews as if people buy their services and are satisfied.

Then there will be the intelligent scammers, from China/India, and sometimes even the US or EU. The titles of these people's gigs might make sense, rarely even the descriptions of the gigs. But the objective of marketing is to bring you actual sales and we've NEVER made any sale with the help of Fiverr. Never! For Fiverr, that saying is true: "marketing" is "lying" when you spell it backwards. That's because even the gigs that seem best are simply owned by better bot makers. Bots that will foul you. Bots that have a lower bounce rate.

The value of these gigs is not $5. They actually carry negative value because you're wasting time with them. You're not just donating money to scammers and their intermediary, you're also handing them hours of your life. If they are SEO gigs, they carry a negative value also because as soon as their blog network will get unlisted, your website will get a rank penalty as well!

Fiverr is knowingly allowing scams on its website. They might even try to sue us for this reveal. It's OK, we don't care. If they do it we'll just cause them even more problems by making this issue more publicized. We don't give a shit about scammers; we're willing to fight them. Here's how Fiverr knowingly allows scams and profits from them:

• First off, it's in their best interest to keep the charade going. They take 5% extra on top of the payment from the buyers and 20% from the sellers. This is a lot. So the seller has to offer you a service worth $4 minus withdrawal fees while making sure he pretends to give you more than the competition for the same money - otherwise he's not getting orders. Note that the competition is also pretending to offer a real service, so they're pretending to be better than guys that are already pretending to be good.
• Seller locations mean nothing. You can choose to have any location displayed, while your billing data is completely different. Almost none of the sellers offering marketing gigs are actually from US.
• Negative reviews don't actually exist. No... seriously. Hear us out! First off, the buyer leaves a review first! The seller reads the review and decides on his course of action. He has the upper hand because he's the one leaving a review last (which is seen as a reply to the buyer, where he can lie his ass off because the buyer can't reply as well). But if the review is negative he can issue a refund, and... guess what? The bad review disappears! So all those SEO gigs with 500 positive reviews and no negative review are easy to explain all of a sudden. Real SEO and traffic, as well as buying Reddit upvotes from humans, costs a lot more, and yes, we offer all of these on our main page.

Actually, if you search on Google for "Fiverr scams", there are 176,000 results. Let's read some of what other people have to say:

This scam was for increased traffic to my website for a month, but the seller was supplying junk traffic. I called the gig off early and Fiverr gave the scam artist the out and removed my negative rating and removed my warning to future shoppers.

- Matt on the Marketing Ideas 101's blog

Don't trust the SEO advice outlined in the description of any gig. They are just trying to sell the gig. And you have to consider the source as well. If a gig provider is really able to "Guarantee First Page Rankings for Any Search Term" why would they be wasting their time selling the service for $5?

- oakley56fila on Reddit

FYI, I've seen many SEO gigs on Fiverr turn out to be scams. They use blackhat practices, and then extort large amounts of money out of you to undo it. If you don't pay, they get you blacklisted on Google by reporting the very blackhat practices they implemented.

- rand486 on Reddit

It's a joke.
Even when you pay extra for the added services. You'll be getting low quality fake social media profiles posting stuff out to other face social media profiles.

- rand486 on Reddit

You have zero time and no money and want results? What fantasy world are you living in?
The automated shit you find on Fiverr is more likely to get your website de-indexed than to help it.

- NakedAndBehindYou on Reddit

I can guarantee you that all the gigs that claims on first page of Google are clear scams. I have tried several gigs and no results at all!

If you are getting some results this is due to your previous seo or quality of your articles…etc. Don’t think these sellers can bring you any good result! All of these scam artists use bots to generate bulk links. Don’t be fool to believe that they will build hundreds of manual links for 5$ or even for 50$. All are bot generated links!

Since they claim the results come at least after 1-2 months, According to Fiverr rules you are not able to claim a refund either! or at least Fiverr will not allow you to post a negative review after 30 days!

If you search the gigs for the term ‘seo’ you can find these gigs among top results!

- jimmykrimson on their own damn forum

When it comes to Fiverr, you’re looking at a world of hurt if you’re expecting quality work. Let me revise that statement a bit – there is a huge hill that you have to climb to find someone who’s anywhere remotely what you’re looking for.
[...] If you’re selling your time how much do you really expect to make? The people who make money on Fiverr have built systems and software to accomplish requested tasks almost effortlessly.

- Jay Soriano on his blog

As an experiment, designer Sacha Greif took Fiverr up on their offer and ran a project through the service, only to find that many of the portfolios presented were full of other designers’ work, and the delivered logos were knocked off from somewhere else.

- Steve Douglas on The Logo Factory's blog

Bad Gigs:

• Real social media followers
• Any sort of backlinks for SEO purposes
• Submission gigs (press releases, infographics, document sharing sites)
• Blog or social media shares with a huge audience
• Business plans, financial advice
• Anything that you know can't be done for $5

- Ryan Stewart on Sitepoint's blog

I was hired to write a 75,000 word novel, a $560 job.  The client was so happy with my work, she gave me a 5-star review and asked me to do more large projects. Suddenly, account BANNED by Fiverr

- atuckerit on YouTube (actually here, just read the comments if you're not convinced yet and you need more information on Fiverr scams)

How can one even take Fiverr seriously after this: searching for "magic" on Fiverr, finds some of these pearls:

• I will banish and remove black magic for $5 (191 reviews, average rating 5)
• I will cast a LOVE spell with Blue Magic for $5 (58 reviews, average rating 5)
• I will balance your health using Body Talk, energy work for $5 (1055 reviews! average rating, of course 5 - everybody is perfect on this website)
• I will heal your mindbody for rapid selfhealing for $5 (35 x 5 stars)
• I will cast a powerful MONEY attracting magic spell for $5 (231 x 5 stars)

So... there you have it. From retards. Through retards. For retards.

Except for this one, this one is real:

• I will cast an extremely POWERFUL Kabbalah Spell which will make your wish come true for $5 (3328 reviews x 4.9)

You probably want to know now where to find marketing that actually works. Start here. Also, consider subscribing to our no-spam, no-3rd party emails newsletter below!

If your expectation was not reading an article, but rather something more concrete, know that you can buy Reddit upvotes on our main page.

Why are we knowledgeable about traditional vs modern marketing? For necessity. We own our own online businesses, unrelated to marketing, and we have specialized over time for effective marketing—doing whatever works. If you have or will have something to promote at some point, I believe that you will like us. Buying Reddit upvotes is just the beginning; we actually do A LOT more. We'll bring you to the top on Product Hunt, we'll make answers mentioning your website visible on Quora, we'll bring your specialized article thousands of views from Hacker News, Growth Hackers or Indie Hackers, and so on; we'll manage your entire marketing campaign on a monthly basis if you recruit us! We are about both QUALITY and quantity when it comes to bringing the target market to a landing page. But unlike Fiverr's pretend marketers from Pakistan who will bring you only a high quantity of bot traffic, we actually bring real humans interested in the topics, products, services, or media that you're presenting.

Why you should buy Reddit upvotes as part of your marketing campaign

Reddit isn’t just for funny cat memes anymore. It is a serious global website, being the 10th most popular website in the United States. Being featured prominently on Reddit, especially on a larger subreddit, can get you, your brand, website, or product a LOT of attention. However, it is not easy to get that attention. If you have used Reddit, you’re familiar with the voting system. One upvote equals one “like” essentially, and a downvote is a “dislike.” The more upvotes you have, the more people can potentially see your post.

Getting Reddit upvotes can get you the exposure that you need for your marketing campaign. It is crucial that you buy Reddit upvotes as soon as your post goes live so that it gets an instant boost and traction in the feed. This will get a post to the “rising” and “hot” categories of the subreddit, both of which will get you a lot of views and engagements. A well-optimized Reddit post with well-timed upvotes can potentially make your content go viral. This is especially true if you have not neglected the quality of your content and have done the proper research. Viral marketing campaigns are hard to pull off, so buying Reddit upvotes and give you a strong advantage.

Anyway, now to move on to the bulk of the article itself. This was written in 2016, and is mostly on the psychology of why strategies like the one named in the title work better than traditional marketing. Buying upvotes, regardless of the platform, has always been a contentious issue where the public is extremely split:

• Some Reddit readers haven’t thought about it, and don’t even know that this is a possibility. If your market your products/services/music/cause/etc. on the Reddit platform, these people will eat it up! When oblivious creatures see a 3rd party recommending something, they usually believe it if it's upvoted enough. Top comments are the truth, right? There's less cognitive effort required to just accept what the majority seems to be recommending! You don't have to take our word for it, just search on Google Scholar for "fake review effectiveness" and you'll find that there are definite studies on that. It's the only thing that guides the majority of shoppers nowadays.
• Others believe that Reddit’s anti-spam system is unbreakable. They believe that trying to get past it can actually hurt more than it helps (think banned domains, shadowed accounts, what actually happens when you upvote with bots). They'll be right in that it's definitely better than Facebook's spam feed. This group might purchase even more of your products or services because they trust the system. "400 upvotes, top of the subreddit? Let me click on it!"
• Others know about it and have used this strategy to create strong, trusted and popular companies that generate profit with very low customer acquisition costs. /r/nootropics and thousands of other subreddits have decided on the best providers already, they're common knowledge among their subscribers and they even add them to their wikis. Why pay money for Reddit ads, when ads barely work anymore? You can promote on this platform and others much cheaper, and be more effective! The effect will also be long term, it won't just stop when you don't pay for ads anymore!
• There's also a 4th group, the ones that know about it but don't have any reason to use it. In order to not get called out by these people, we make sure to upvote manually and use real accounts with perfect English when commenting. More about our process here: Why work with us? Worth reading to see just how far we go to protect our customers!

The penultimate category is represented by our clients. The first two categories are people that see a comment recommending something and take it as legit, with little skepticism. Or they see an upvoted post reviewing a new online tool and there's a high probability that they'll sign up and try it. Or they make great purchasers for your products or services. Or an easy to acquire following for your cause. Or fans, if you are an artist. Or supporters, if you've started a crowdfunding campaign. Examples could go on.

The best marketing is word of mouth, and Reddit, Hacker News, or Quora are word of mouth on steroids. Reddit upvotes and downvotes (here's a revealing article about adding Reddit downvotes to your marketing strategy) can bring a lot of positive cash flow and recognition to any artist, politician, startup, or already-established business. It does so fast, in less than 24 hours. Combined with strategic comments and posts, they can ruin a competitor. The threads that we create will also have long-term effects, showing up for various keyword searches in Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo searches. Why? Because the networks that we work with have domains with huge domain authority, they're not Google competitors, and they'll continue to be around in a few years - therefore the content that brings you clients will still be up. Again, examples could go on.

You don't have to use this strategy for direct conversions, which is what we do predominantly. You can take it slowly and first bring a lot of Reddit traffic to your blog. Or get a lot of subscribers for your mailing list, which you’ll convert later. The possibilities are really endless.

We greatly dislike a certain reason when it comes to why some people won’t buy Reddit upvotes: they’ve been scammed before. Actually, at the time when we’re writing this, the first few websites that appear on Google when searching for „buy Reddit upvotes” are actually scams. We know because we've tried them ourselves. First off, they’re slow. They won’t start upvoting as soon as you place the order. They’ll wait 24 hours so that moderator traffic goes off the post at stake, and they can upvote it with less risk. The accounts that they use are extremely low quality and most of the upvotes won’t count. They’ll justify it with „you’ve been downvoted as well, it’s out of our control!”. They are so uninterested in providing a quality service that they use software like „Reddit Automation Bot”, „Reddit Account Creator and Upvoater”, "B.H.T. Reddit Bot", "Rabbit", "Socinator", "Reddit-Marketing-Pro", "ASB Reddit Bot", "AIO Bot", "Reddit Voter" or „Reddit Dominator” in order to do their job. With all these low-quality services, your accounts will generally be banned in less than one week. If you're lucky, it can take up to ninety days. The services on Fiverr and SEOclerks related to this are even worse. Do you actually believe someone will give you 40 upvotes for five dollars? And do it manually? Just one person? No.

If it seems too good to be true, it’s a scam. There’s no putting it lightly when it comes to this subject: over eighty percent of the industry is a scam (and to be honest here, marketing, in general, is full of potholes that will break your leg). You won't get anything from 80% of the sellers. Of the remaining twenty percent, most, even though they don’t try to cheat you outright, provide low-quality services. It’s usually just one man having registered a bunch of accounts and upvoting with them through software. It’s inefficient and risky. A ticking bomb waiting to be banned with everything that he’s got. Afterward, he starts over, but for his past clients it's too late: their domains got banned, their accounts got shadowed or suspended, and they've been called out in threads. Low cost and poor quality lead to humiliation, stress, and time lost, while a manual service provided by thinking humans with their own personal accounts leads to enough sensible promotional content for even a large size company. If you respect the readers and don't treat them like idiots, if you use real accounts and sensible upvoting, if your copies don't sound like ads, then Reddit marketing and our other techniques can be all the marketing that you need.

We are a team of eleven persons who use Reddit ten hours per day. Most of us have been doing this for over five years. Many of the accounts that we use have received gold numerous times and have an amazing reputation in the subreddits that they're targeting. We have moderator access to over 2,100 subreddits. Six of the accounts from the Karma Whores top 100 rankings belong to us. We have a monopoly when it comes to offering a quality service, and not just on Reddit. We've helped a lot of startups to grow into companies. We've helped political groups. We've helped apps get the spotlight in the App Store. We've helped musicians get trending on SoundCloud. We’re friendly. We’ll keep doing this. We want to help companies succeed without huge marketing budgets. Our most trusted clients receive access to our backup websites, therefore our connections cannot break. Try us! We'll bring qualified traffic, interested people, where you want them.

The following explains why you should buy Reddit downvotes for competing posts in addition to the upvotes that you get for yours. The same strategy is applicable to other networks, including Voat or Snapzu. For Quora, please skip to the last section.

Why buy Reddit downvotes

Let’s say you want your post to stay for at least 24 hours on the first page of an average-sized subreddit  (200k-300k subscribers). Even if your content is good, you have to be lucky in the first hour, especially the first few minutes. If you get downvoted early (even just one or two downvotes), other people won’t even open your thread because it doesn't show up at /Rising or /Hot - basically, they don't see it. This might all seem like bad news, but we can actually use it to your advantage with a SUBSTANTIAL effect. Because of what I’m writing next, we've been able to get posts on the first page easily in huge subreddits like /r/music, /r/videos, and /r/gaming. It would have been a lot harder, maybe even impossible, without this strategy:

Here’s what you’ll have to do:

• After you've made your post, don’t wait too long before purchasing what you need from us. The sooner we start work, the better. Note that you should synchronize your posts with our working schedule. You can also schedule your posts, meaning that you order what you need from us before having done the actual post, and mention during checkout at what time you'll be posting, where, with what user and with what title.
• For a post of above-average quality in a huge subreddit, buy 8 upvotes for every 100k subscribers. For a small to average-sized subreddit, buy 1 upvote for every 10k subscribers. Of course, there are many factors that can shape your decision on the number of upvotes: What's the quality of the post? When are you posting? Are you doing it mostly or only for SEO? Are you trying to bring it in the top of the month for that subreddit, maybe even top of the year in order to get a constant stream of traffic? And so on. If you're lost, consider buying a strategy consultation with us first, or just buy one of our managed marketing packages and we'll handle everything!
• Consider getting a “top comment”. It shapes the opinion of others as soon as they enter the comment section. They take it as the most popular opinion and therefore most probably true (argumentum ad populum). Basically, add to cart a comment and however many upvotes you consider necessary for it. If it will be the first comment posted in the thread, anchoring should play its role as well. Of course, more comments will have an even greater impact, but their effect starts to plateau after the fourth. One should always be the minimum. But getting more than four root comments per thread - in our experience - doesn't seem to be more effective than getting just 4; after this point, it just becomes money spent, and nothing else. It's best to have a few comments, but upvoted, instead of many comments at the bottom of the comment section.
• And the main trick: buy Reddit downvotes for competing posts as well! The ratio between upvotes and downvotes should depend on the subreddit size and the hour when you’re posting, therefore you’ll have to look and decide for yourself. The more competition exists in the New tab, the more downvotes you need. For example, to access the New tab on “/r/gaming”, you’d go to “/r/gaming/new”). "Competition" means many new posts. For subreddits under 5,000 subscribers, you don't need to downvote competing posts. The standard ratio for a small to average-size subreddit should be 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 (two downvotes for every upvote). For a big subreddit with more than 300,000 subscribers, the ratio should be 3 to 1 (three downvotes for every upvote). For a huge subreddit with more than two million subscribers, the standard ratio should be 4 to 1. If you buy too many, your downvotes aren't wasted because we just downvote what's in front of your post in the /hot sorting.

Here’s what we’ll do in return:

• We’ll upvote your thread alright, but we’ll also downvote “the competition”. This is represented initially by other threads rising fast in popularity in the targeted subreddit. This way, we achieve four things:

1. Your thread will be the most visible in the /new tab.
2. Your thread will be on the pole position in the /rising tab.
3. When comparing it subconsciously with other threads, redditors will suffer from the successive contrast effect (another bias that works for us), which leads them to see the content as better than it actually is.
4. If you bought enough downvotes, we won't stop there. As soon as the thread reaches the top 30 position in the /hot tab, we'll redefine "competition" as being the threads that are in front of yours there, and we'll downvote them. This will make your thread rise extremely fast to the top because of how Reddit's algorithm works for that tab (interestingly, they actually track the u/d ratio in the last hour, and not since the inception of the threads).

The result:

• Your thread will get a lot more “natural” upvotes. It won’t rise in rank only because of our upvotes.
• It will also get more positive comments.
• You end up spending less money because downvotes for competing threads are a lot cheaper than upvotes.
• You won't get called out, because instead of having many upvotes and an average position, you'll have fewer upvotes but a higher position, therefore enjoying more traffic and engagement in a way that's not suspicious.

Why buy downvotes on Quora

We will upvote your answers while downvoting competing ones to help you surpass them without visible proof for the visitors (because upvotes are public and downvotes are not). The more answers you have in front of yours and the more upvoted they are, the more downvotes you should buy. Even more than upvotes! They’re also half the price!

Reports of 3 to 1 are the median when ordering for Quora (buy three downvotes for every upvote), but what you need can vary greatly depending on the status of each question (positioning, upvote counts, the reputation of the accounts that are surpassing yours, and so forth).

Ranking answers this way helps their chance of remaining at the top for longer, and it doesn't raise the same suspicion that comes with getting 50 upvotes in a few days (which will also be less effective in getting you the top position).
