AMA (Ask Me Anything) question sessions have established as a solid format for generating traffic en mass and their meaning to Reddit is enormous [proof]. Next to Barack Obama, Snoop Dogg’s question and answer session alone — at that time he was on the road under the pseudonym Snoop Lion — brought Reddit about 1.6 million views in one day at the end of 2012. Other well-known individuals who have made Reddit AMAs include Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Madonna, Patrick Stewart, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, actor Peter Dinklage, Channing Tatum, the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners Lee, Buzz Aldrin, Harrison Ford, Jerry Seinfeld, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. A look at the statistics of the subreddit “I Am A” shows the importance of the format: This category alone has between five and ten million unique visitors per month and between 15 and 30 million page views.

As for celebrities, Reddit has established itself as a place of choice, but AMAs also appeal to experts in specific areas. Therefore, the format works perfectly for pages from certain niches. AMAs are a great way to increase a companies visibility by giving users the opportunity to get to know the company and its brand. In AMAs users can really ask anything — therefore CEO’s or founders need to be prepared for disjointed and provocative questions. If they ignore such questions, their AMA can quickly become a public relations disaster. This has been proven in the past by AMAs such as Woody Harrelson — also called the worst AMA of all time. Richard Edelman, President and CEO of Edelman PR, recommends: “AMAs should be honest, engaging and transparent and need sufficient preparation time.” [link]

Reddit is one of the most useful, popular and informative social news sites on the entire web. If you haven’t discovered the joy of following and interacting with Reddit AMAs yet, now’s your chance to get in on all the fun.
