📶Growth Reddit good for freelancing?

I wonder is Reddit good for freelancing?
Is it a good traffic source for consistent clients or it's just something to have on the side?

I wouldn’t count on Reddit as a consistent source of clients.

I got a few potential clients from Reddit, but most of them were tire kickers.

The bigger thing I realized later is that if someone hires you through Reddit, there’s a good chance they’ll also go back to Reddit to question every suggestion you make.

Then they’ll get a buttload of answers from other service providers, and some of them obviously have an interest in making the current provider look bad so they can maybe get the gig instead.

Good for traffic but not to get good/long term clients.

Reddit in general is very anti capitalism so probably not a good idea for clients if you want to maintain your sanity.

I mean r/antiwork exists. Smh.

It is filled with very stingy people only looking for deals. Steer clear unless you want to get low balled as they say.

But anti... anything also exists. Does that mean if we get "antifood" shall we stop eating food? I don't think so.


Reddit is very easy to get people's eyes on you. But I don't know rest of the story. It's easier than Facebook, definitely. But hurdles are similar.

Seems like it’s easy to become a comic artist on there. Do you see the shit some people post? Some are making a living off of that.

True but in my experience Redditors are like 100x worse.
