Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is the subreddit promotion ROI calculated?
The calculator estimates impressions based on online users (or ~1.5% of subscribers if not provided), then applies your CTR to get clicks, conversion rate to get sales, and multiplies by AOV for revenue. ROI is calculated as (Revenue - Cost) / Cost × 100. For more advertising metrics, check our CPC and CPM Calculator.
What is a good CTR for Reddit posts?
Reddit CTR varies widely based on content quality, subreddit relevance, and post type. Organic posts typically see 1-5% CTR, while well-crafted promotional content in targeted subreddits can achieve 3-8%. Native-looking content that provides value tends to perform best. Avoid overly promotional language that may be flagged by moderators.
How do I find subreddit subscriber and online user counts?
Visit the subreddit on Reddit and look at the sidebar (desktop) or the about section (mobile). You'll see "X members" for subscribers and "X online" for currently active users. Online users fluctuate throughout the day, so check during your target audience's peak hours for more accurate estimates.
What conversion rate should I expect from Reddit traffic?
Reddit conversion rates typically range from 1-5% depending on product-market fit, landing page quality, and offer relevance. Cold traffic from Reddit often converts lower than retargeted audiences. Track your actual rates using Content ROI Calculator to refine your estimates over time.
