💡 Esi wòle find creators le Reddit — step-by-step tactics
1) Target subreddits: start le r/southafrica, r/soccer, r/foodZA, r/EntrepreneurshipZA — niche subs often hide active creators.
2) Use Reddit search + Google site:reddit.com « South Africa » « creator » kple advanced operators to surface profiles discussing content creation.
3) Watch comment threads: creators often share links (Twitter, Instagram). Threads with long, supportive discussions signal authentic communities.
4) Vet with cross-platform signals: check profiles on Instagram / Twitter for audience overlap. Esterhuizen mentions many SA creators sell via WhatsApp/Telegram/OnlyFans — so expect private funnels.
5) Outreach: craft short, community-aware DM or mod-approved post. Offer value: payment, exclusive collab, or hosting AMA. Respect subreddit rules — always ask moderators first.
6) Measure: track referral links, UTM, comment sentiment, and depth (not just like counts). Reddit success often shows as lengthy thread engagement and upvote velocity.
💡 Templates kple examples (quick copy-paste)
- Mod message: « Hi r/SubredditName mods — brand from Togo here planning a community AMA with a South Africa creator about [topic]. We’re ready to follow rules. Can we discuss a pinned AMA and promotion terms? »
- Creator DM: « Hi [name] — love your r/thread on [topic]. Brand from Togo wants to run a community-first collab (AMA + pinned post). Paid, short, and respectful of your voice. Open to chat? »
💡 Risk checks kple policy heads-up
- Don’t spam DMs; Reddit users flag obvious outreach.
- Disclose partnerships in thread and by the creator (Reddit values transparency).
- Avoid sensitive political topics (per editorial reminder).
- For adult-oriented creators (Esterhuizen notes big SA market), ensure brand safety and proper age verification before collaboration.
