How to warm up a reddit account

A 15-Day Strategic Plan to Build Authentic Engagement

Warming up a Reddit account is crucial for anyone serious about marketing there. If you try to post too soon, the account will likely be banned. That’s because Reddit’s strict rules are designed to stop spam. Instead of rushing, it’s worth taking the time to build a credible account that you can use for years to come. We’ve developed and tested a simple, 15-day plan that requires minimal daily effort, ensuring your account is ready to go when you are.

In this guide we’ll warm up a Reddit account from scratch. After completion of this guide you’ll be able to use this account for any kind of NSFW promotion, including OnlyFans, Fansly accounts etc.

📋 Prerequisites – Prepare Before You Start

Before beginning your 15-day Reddit warm-up journey, gather these essential resources:

📸 Content Library

  • SFW Niche Images: 3 images of your personal interest (rain, nature, pets, cars, etc.)
  • SFW Personal Images: 3 images of yourself (selfies, outfits, lifestyle shots)
  • NSFW Content: 3 tasteful NSFW images ready for Days 13-15

⏰ Time Management

  • Daily Schedule: 15-20 minutes daily for browsing, comments, and replies

Note: The subreddits we mention in this guide are just examples. The best results will come from finding and engaging with subreddits you’re genuinely interested in.

For now, it’s smarter to use a Linktree instead of a direct OnlyFans link. This adds an extra layer of protection. You should also make the link a pinned post, as it’s a safer option than putting it in the sidebar.

💡 Pro Tips for Success
  • Consistency is Key: Maintain regular activity throughout the warm-up period
  • Quality Over Quantity: Better to have fewer, high-quality interactions than many low-effort ones
  • Read the Rules: Always check subreddit rules before posting or commenting
  • Be Authentic: Don’t try to game the system – genuine engagement works best
  • Engage with Others: Respond to comments on your posts and engage with other users’ content
  • Track Your Karma: Monitor your karma growth throughout the process – it should steadily increase, even if it’s just small gains each day
Remember: The goal is to build a legitimate, valuable presence on Reddit that benefits both you and the communities you participate in. Take your time, be genuine, and focus on adding value to discussions.
