reddit is the best platform to get big
views on your content and big shares on
your content reddit is the
self-proclaimed front page of the
internet all media professionals follow
reddit everybody who writes news
articles follow reddit and it is a way
to blow a video up I've done it before
overwatch is a fighting game someone on
my team Jonathan Moxon has produced this
video
it has 1.2 million views right now and I
promoted it through my reddit account
and it got covered on Kotaku on polygon
and every major gaming publication and
it got over a million views this post
blew up but it wasn't just because I
promoted on reddit and I just spammed
content there's a good way to do it that
really works let's get into it reddit is
a tight-knit community of people that
actually care about certain subject
areas so if you intend to go into reddit
just to spam your content or just to
promote yourself then you're gonna lose
on reddit that's not the way it works
let me show you my profile
I've got 16,000 karma right now and I
pay for gold on reddit to support the
platform because I really love reddit it
is one of my favorite social media
platforms and as you can see I've got a
ton of karma from a lot of different
communities here and this wasn't because
I promoted myself or I was trying to get
something out of that community it's
because I constantly had a strategy to
give value value value to a specific
subreddit and then occasionally promote
my content if I felt that it gave value
to that particular community and that's
precisely when I did with this overwatch
as a fighting game video this wasn't the
first post I made on this subreddit I
ended up getting reddit gold like three
times
gilded on this post because I promoted
this amazing video there it is right
there
but I had posted tons and tons and tons
here before I promoted this video and so
people recognized my content when I
posted it on this subreddit the content
that we produce with tgn they recognize
my name and they knew that I was here
because I actually cared about overwatch
in this particular case that is the
critical point to remember
when you're looking to promote your
content on reddit I like to use the
twenty to one rule post twenty times to
every one time that you promote yourself
on a particular subreddit be sure to
contact the moderators and to listen to
what the rules are of that subreddit but
look what I'm doing right now on the new
youtubers subreddit I'm just posting
answers answers answers to help
youtubers for free
I haven't promoted my content once I
haven't posted a link to my YouTube
video once I haven't posted a link to my
channel once it's just me helping
youtubers all freaking day I'm adding
value to youtubers here that's what I'm
doing right now and if at some point I
maybe could get benefit from a YouTube
channel or get clout or something like
that through the subreddit then sure
maybe it'll come around to me but the
reason why it's called karma on reddit
is because it's just that you pay it
forward into the reddit community and
then you receive the benefits in return
and as a result I've had people contact
me through direct messages or through
chat and they say hey look I see all of
this great value that you're adding to
the new youtuber subreddit I saw that
incredible video you posted on the
overwatch subreddit I want to talk to
you about perhaps doing a project or I
want to talk to you about promoting your
content through my website and then big
things can happen like this you get
covered on polygon you get covered on
Kotaku or maybe you end up getting a new
client or maybe you end up getting a new
person to collaborate with right those
are benefits that you'll receive in
return of giving value first on reddit
not trying to take value out of reddit
reddit will punish you for that and you
can get big views if you pay it forward
in the literal sense of karma how much
karma do you have on reddit how much
karma do you have on the Internet
overall it should be all about paying it
forward and you will receive the
benefits in the long term you need to be
long-term focused on YouTube on Twitch
and through your podcast and through
your online business this is a long game
we're in the gold rush of the internet
