About this listen

Reddit is the trust engine of the internet. It’s where buyers validate big decisions - and where AI and search borrow real perspective. In this episode, Colin James Belyea (Co-Founder, Karmic) shares a field-tested playbook for winning on Reddit without astroturfing or getting banned.


What you’ll learn

  • The why now: Reddit’s role in zero-click journeys and high-consideration purchases
  • How to build credibility (karma + participation) before a single brand post
  • The comment-elicitation thread structure that multiplies saves, replies, and CTR
  • Promoted thread settings that invite discussion instead of backlash
  • Safety: disclosure, language, and moderation that keep you brand-safe
  • Measuring impact when clicks under-report: brand search, holdouts, blended CAC
  • A 30-day quickstart from lurker → contributor → repeatable results
