Just told all my co workers about it and they like it and see its appeal. Nice site design too. I may give it a try.
With Reddit you really need to know how to game them, and it isn't hard. Talk to the moderators of whatever subreddit first so your post doesn't get insta flagged. Offer some kind of incentive, if it's a paid product, offer a coupon.
You need a story with your release. Nobody cares if you're just another guy who likes to code, we all are.
I can't remember what the site was, but someone posted somewhere reddit traffic statistics and found 4PM to be the best time to post. I ran a repost bot that always posted at 4PM and that gave me (usually) the highest number of upvotes in the least amount of time.
I think that post was on a Reddit blog.
- juretriglav 13y agoThanks for asking your coworkers, rfnslyr! My current story is that this is scratching a personal itch of missing out on events purely because I'm not aware they exist. As a developer in Ljubljana (not really San Francisco, although the startup culture is really starting to bloom here) and one without Facebook, it would help me with networking. I'll think about strategies for Reddit, so far I've posted r/twitter and r/webdev and got a modest response, to put it mildly. People I've talked to one on one all like the idea, so I think maybe it's a matter of presenting it better on the landing page. About the reddit traffic statistics, I couldn't find the blog post you are referring to, but having one of these for reddit http://www.retronator.com/clock http://www.retronator.com/clock would probably be helpful.
- rfnslyr 13y agoNo problem. That's a nice site, thanks.
