# The Nilkick Reddit warm-up

> Launch day works better with an account that belongs there. Build that history with an adaptive **28-day Today plan**. Nilkick assesses the account's public standing up front, starts the plan where the account actually is, finds fresh conversations where your knowledge helps, drafts pure-value replies, and changes pace when recent outcomes say it should. Zero product mentions, zero links, and **you take every Reddit action**.

$15 one-time · 28-day plan · no account access.

Zero product mentions · fresh threads · you take every action.

## 01 · The 28 days — a gradual ramp that adapts as it goes

Today refreshes in your local timezone. Missed browse and comment work expires instead of piling up. Standing is assessed before day 1 and sets the entry pace, then standing and reported removals shape every next plan, so a colder account stays cautious and a stronger account can carry more.

- **Days 1–2 · Set up and learn.** The opening days match the account standing. A brand new account verifies the email, adds an avatar and a simple bio, then joins the target communities. An account with real history confirms those basics are in place and settles into its communities sooner.
- **Days 3–14 · One careful reply.** Fresh, open threads only. At most one comment on a day, drafted from your real expertise with no product or link. An account in good standing can reach this stage a day or two earlier.
- **Days 15–21 · Adaptive pacing.** Standing and recent outcomes decide whether a limited second comment appears. It never unlocks until six hours after the first is posted.
- **Days 22–28 · Finish with history.** Keep the pace human. A genuine question post can appear at the end only when established standing can carry it.

Standing is checked by phase and after removals.

## 02 · The trust firewall — drafted by us, posted by you, always

Nilkick **never touches your account.** We draft and guide. You read, decide, and take the action. The comment drafter never receives a product input, and each reply is checked again for links, brand recommendations, fabricated experience, pitch tone, and thread mismatch. Value-only by construction.

- **Pure value, structurally.** No product input means there is nothing for a comment to promote.
- **A strict second pass.** Any link, named recommendation, pitch tone, or invented biography fails the draft.
- **Fresh threads worth answering.** Reply targets are in a chosen community, open, grounded, under 72 hours old, and not already crowded.
- **Outcomes change the plan.** Report a removal and later comments stop immediately while the account cools down.

## 03 · The companion extension — optional, included, Today beside Reddit

The web app runs the whole warm-up. The extension mirrors the same **Today plan** in a Chrome side panel, including setup actions, read-only visits, drafted replies, later unlocks, and the one outcome check.

- **Right beside Reddit.** Open the exact settings page, subreddit, rules page, or thread without tab hunting.
- **The same Today plan.** Progress and cooldown state stay in sync with the web app.
- **Copy, paste, decide.** Copy a draft or bio, make it yours, take the action on Reddit, then mark it done.

**Connect it after you start a warm-up.** It is a convenience layer, not a requirement, and it never posts.

## 04 · Pricing — one price, 28 days, done

A warm-up is a finite job, so it costs like one. No usage meters, per-comment pricing, or recurring charge.

**$15 one-time · the full 28-day plan.** Everything from community mapping and setup through the final local Today plan. A later Launch is separate. One-time payment · you take every action · no account access needed.

The warm-up includes (the full 28-day plan):

- **Community mapping.** A live scan gated to the communities where your knowledge genuinely fits.
- **Adaptive Today plans.** Setup, reading, browsing, fresh comment drafts, and limited later slots at a pace the account can carry.
- **Standing and outcome checks.** An up-front standing assessment that sets the entry pace, public standing at each phase, plus a simple next-day check on whether the latest comment remains visible.
- **Removal safety overrides.** Cooldowns, subreddit exclusions, and immediate cancellation of later same-day comments.
- **Launch alignment.** Link a Launch and the warm-up aims at the same future communities.
- **The companion extension.** Optional and included, with the same current Today plan beside Reddit.

## 05 · Honest boundaries — what this is, and what it is not

The warm-up supports genuine participation. Your account stays yours, and Reddit's moderation decisions stay Reddit's.

The warm-up does:

- Guide useful setup, reading, and participation.
- Draft replies from expertise you provide.
- Target fresh, open threads in relevant communities.
- Adapt the next plan to standing and reported removals.

It never:

- Logs in, joins, votes, comments, or posts for you.
- Mentions your product or puts links in warm-up comments.
- Directs votes or automates engagement.
- Guarantees karma, reach, or immunity from moderation.

## 06 · FAQ

**Do I need the extension?** No. The web app runs the complete plan. The optional extension mirrors Today beside Reddit and never posts.

**Is this automation?** No. Nilkick finds and drafts. You read the context, decide whether the suggestion fits, and take every action yourself.

**Why no product mention?** Because this phase builds genuine history. Promotion comes later, when the account already belongs in the community.

**Do I need a Launch?** No. It works standalone. Linking a Launch simply gives the warm-up the same future target communities.

**My account already has some history. Does it start from zero?** No. Nilkick assesses the public standing of the account before the plan begins and sets the entry pace from it. An account with real history confirms its basics instead of redoing them, joins communities sooner, and reaches its first comment earlier. The plan is still 28 days for everyone.

**What if I miss a day?** Missed browse and comment work expires. It does not stack into a risky catch-up batch. One essential profile setup step may carry.

**What happens after day 28?** The plan completes and its history remains available. There is nothing to cancel.

**Is it really $15 total?** Yes. One flat **$15** for the full 28-day plan. No recurring charge.
