Paid Ads: Reddit Ads
Guides Reddit Ads setup, subreddit targeting, and creative best practices. Reddit excels at niche communities and discussion-driven audiences; use when your audience is active in specific subreddits and values authentic, value-first messaging.
**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Why Reddit
- **High engagement**: ~34 min/session; users seek solutions, not passive scroll
- **Lower competition**: vs Facebook/Instagram for niche audiences
- **100K+ subreddits**: Precise community targeting
- **Cost**: CPM $2–10; CPC $0.50–3.00; min $5/day
Ad Formats
