Schedule Reddit Posts (and Upvotes) Like a Pro

Posting when your audience is actually online and giving your submission an early nudge can mean the difference between vanishing in “New” and sticking to the front page of a subreddit.

This guide shows you how to schedule Reddit posts, trigger instant upvotes, and track results, all from one dashboard.

Why Post Timing Drives Reach

Reddit’s default sort is Hot.

That ranking formula weighs upvotes and age, so the first few minutes after submission are critical.

By queuing posts to drop at proven high-traffic windows, you:

• Land in the first screen of New when the most eyes are scrolling.
• Gather initial engagement quickly, which boosts your Hot score.
• Avoid manual posting, no more waking up at odd hours just to hit Submit.

When you combine precise timing with an automatic upvote burst, you signal early popularity. That signal increases the chance of more organic votes and comments, accelerating your climb.

Connect Your Account to Reddit Post Scheduler

Linking your Reddit handle takes less than two minutes:

1. Sign up for Social Rise
   • Hit the Sign Up button above.
   • Sign Up with your Reddit Account.
2. Authorize Reddit access
   • You’ll be redirected to Reddit’s permission screen.
   • Click Allow so Social Rise can post, edit, and read your submissions.
   • Permissions are limited to posting and analytics, nothing else changes on your account.

3. Grab your API key (for Auto-Upvote setup)
   • In Social Rise, open Profile > API Key.
   • Copy the token shown. Example: d01014891fb6afeee823b02x12d.
4. Paste it to REDUv Dashboard
   • Go to Schedule Posts > Social Rise.
   • Paste the key, press “Save,” and you’ll see a confirmation banner.
5. Test the connection
   • Your Social Rise dashboard will now display inside the REDuv panel.
   • If you see your Reddit username and a blank calendar, you’re set.

That’s it, you can control scheduling and upvotes from one place without tab-hopping.

Set Up Your First Scheduled Post

1. Open the Post Scheduler inside the Social Rise Dashboard. The editor looks like a simple Reddit submission window, so everything feels familiar.
2. Pick your post type. You can schedule a text post, an image, or a link. For links, paste the full URL. For images, click “Upload” or select a file from the Content Manager library.
3. Write a clear title. Front-load the main keyword or hook. Example: “Just got my first Macbook M4 as a special birthday gift!”
4. Add your body text or upload media. If the subreddit allows links only in comments, keep the body short and put the link in the first comment (there’s a dedicated box for that).
5. Choose the subreddit. Start typing r/test or any target subreddit and pick from the dropdown. To post in several subs, add each one on a new line and set separate times.
6. Select date and exact time. The calendar defaults to your browser timezone, so double-check before saving. Aim for that sub’s proven high-traffic window.
7. Optional flair and comment. If the sub requires a flair, select it. If you want a preset comment to appear right after posting, toggle “Add Comment” and write it now.
8. Click “Schedule.” Your post moves to the Calendar view with a timestamp. It will fire even if your computer is off, and you’ll get a confirmation email as soon as it goes live.

Automate Early Upvotes

1. Open your Scheduled posts list
   • In the rUpvote panel, go to Schedule Posts > List.
   • Each pending post shows a small Order button.
2. Click Order next to the post
   • A pop-up appears with different services for your posts: Upvotes, Downvotes, TOP Ranking.
   • Select Upvotes.

3. Set the upvote package
   • Enter the number of upvotes you want.
   • Pick Instant to start the moment the post is live, or choose a drip speed for a slower build.
   • The tool shows cost before you confirm, so you can match your budget.
4. Pay with balance or top up
   • If your wallet has enough credit, press Confirm Order.
   • If not, click Add Funds, deposit, then retry.
5. Monitor delivery
   • Once the post publishes, the system sends votes in the pattern you set.
   • Status updates appear under the same Scheduled list, so you can see progress without leaving the panel.

Track Results and Refine Your Strategy

Your first scheduled posts are live, but the real gain comes from learning what works and repeating it.

1. Open the Analytics tab
   • See average upvotes per post, upvote ratio, comment count, and click-through rate (for link posts).
   • Filter by subreddit or date range to spot patterns.
2. Check Subreddit Analysis reports
   • Look at growth graphs, peak activity hours, and common keywords.
   • Compare your post times with the sub’s busiest windows. If engagement is low, shift future slots to high-traffic hours.
3. Identify winning formats
   • Sort your posts by highest upvote ratio. Are images outperforming text? Do how-to titles get more clicks?
   • Duplicate the best format and tweak the topic to keep content fresh without reinventing the wheel.
4. Tweak upvote strategy
   • If a post climbs fast with 10 early votes, you may not need 50.
   • Save credit by scaling packages to match each sub’s size and competitiveness.
5. Log insights
   • Keep a simple spreadsheet of date, subreddit, post type, early votes, and total score after 24 hours.
   • After a month, you’ll have clear data to refine titles, timing, and vote counts.

Consistency plus small adjustments is what turns scheduling into steady growth rather than random hits.

Bulk Upload and Content Manager

Bulk Upload

When you have dozens of posts to queue, filling the form one by one is slow. Use the bulk uploader instead.

• Download the CSV template. Columns include caption, content, link, subreddit, date, time, flair, and first comment.
• Add your posts in a spreadsheet editor. Keep dates in YYYY-MM-DD and times in 24-hour format.
• Save as CSV and upload it. Social Rise checks every row and flags errors before import.
• Click Schedule All. Your calendar populates in seconds, ready for automatic posting.

Content Manager

If you reuse screenshots, memes, or product shots, the Content Manager keeps everything in one place.

• Drag files or whole folders into the library.
• Tag each asset with keywords like meme or logo so you can search later.
• When building a post, hit Insert from Library instead of re-uploading.
• Images stay at full resolution until Reddit compresses them on publish, so quality is preserved.

Bulk upload plus a tidy media library cuts hours from a weekly posting routine, especially when you run campaigns across multiple brands.

Build Autoresponders for Engagement in Scheduled Posts

Autoresponders let you reply to every new comment or direct message while you sleep. Use them to:

• Welcome first-time commenters with a quick thank-you.
• Share a resource link (blog post, GitHub repo, coupon) without manual copy-paste.
• Prompt a question that keeps the thread alive.

Set it up in three clicks

1. Open Autoresponder in the sidebar and hit New Message.
2. Write the reply. Keep it short and non-spammy to avoid moderator flags.

Best practices

• Add a personal touch. Use {recipient} to mention the commenter’s handle.
• Set a delay of 2-3 minutes so the response feels human.
• Test in r/test before deploying on business-critical subs.

Done right, autoresponders turn single comments into longer threads and push your post higher in Hot sorting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even with automation, a few missteps can tank your reach or get you banned. Keep an eye on these:

• Ignoring subreddit rules: Each sub has its own link policy, flair requirements, and cooldowns. Skim the sidebar before scheduling or risk an auto-delete.
• Posting at the wrong hour: Traffic peaks vary. Use Subreddit Analysis, not guesswork, to pick time slots.
• Ordering too many upvotes: A huge spike in a small sub looks fake. Match vote count to community size.
• Skipping required flair: If a flair is compulsory and you leave it blank, mods may remove the post instantly.
• Recycling the same title: Reddit detects duplicates. Rewrite headlines and rotate angles to stay fresh.
• Autoresponder spam: One friendly reply boosts engagement. Dozens can trigger the spam filter. Set logic limits.

Stick to the basics, follow rules, keep vote boosts realistic, and your posts will stand a far better chance of sticking.
