There's your problem. Reddit is great for traffic, but terrible for conversions. Much as I dislike Facebook for everything else, I got the most conversions from participating in discussions on Facebook, getting known by the groups, and sharing updates there.

I'm not saying you'll have the same experience. Each product will find its own niche for marketing. A product I spent years on got many of its conversion through radio. Everything is worth trying. Keep trying different channels and figure out for yourself where your audience is responsive.
