The Power of Sharing on Reddit


Are you sharing articles on this social site?

Above is one of my posts on Reddit. As you can see, it has over 35k views and 369 more upvotes than downvotes. It also has 53 shares.

This is in a subreddit community called Oregon. It has 168k members.

Not all of my posts to this subreddit do this well, but this shows the potential Reddit offers.

This link share is from a NewsBreak article and I have noticed traffic coming to the articles when I post here. I write mostly about local news in Oregon.

My experience at Reddit hasn’t always been so beneficial. For most of the nine years I’ve been there I gained no traction and my posts to subreddits were almost always removed for some reason.

I began to think Reddit was a puzzle I couldn’t figure out. Nevertheless, I kept trying and finally found some subreddits that work.

The key is to find a subreddit, read all the directions for posting, and then once find one that doesn’t remove your link, you now have a good place to share content on that specific topic.

I also share on a Medium subreddit:



It only has 1.1k members, yet I still got 50 views and 3 upvotes for this post.

Just thought I would share how powerful Reddit can be. No wonder, as it is ranked 14 in the world according to Alexa’s website rankings. Don’t give up if a subreddit removes your link, either try to figure out why or find another place to post.

The Online World is Satan's Kingdom

The future is offline for those who love the truth and freedom. What is the online world to you? What is it in general? Isn’t it reasonable to conclude that it is going to be a closed system one day, only accessible to those who go along with the agenda of those who are in power? Those who rule the world control the people through money. The central banks control the monetary systems, thus, the economies, politics, commerce, and everything else that runs off money. If I wanted to control the entire world, I would create online technology, including smart technology. This is how I would control the masses to go along with my agenda. The Bible explains that this world system is in Satan’s control. That’s why he offered it to Jesus in the wilderness, as a failed temptation. We can conclude that the online world then was created for the sole purpose of controlling everyone who participates in the world system. In just two decades the world has become almost completely dependent upon the on...

Holy Bible's Description of Modern America

The generalized character of people in the end times. 2 Timothy 3: 1-7 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. With scriptures like this one, how accurate is the Holy Bible? The absolute wisdom and poignant truths given are supernaturally derived, one must conclude. The cycles of humanity have always reached highs and lows in the process of our journey to the present, y...

Writing Success Comes from Volume and Quality in Balance

Our success is up to us. Success, as a general term to describe the results that constitute a success in a writer’s mind, as it meets or exceeded our expectations. And volume is how many articles/content pieces it takes for each writer to succeed with various levels of quality involved. Each writer will have their personal goals and ways to measure the results achieved through writing an article. Each writer has differing perspectives on what constitutes quality with a finished product. With these important variables in mind, let’s explore how many articles it might take with a theoretical estimation based upon experience and what I’ve seen in my decades-long online writing journey. Most writers can’t expect to attract a lot of views when writing only one article a month, or 12 a year. They may be able to stay in the game at the base line level and maintain some trickle of income, yet it isn’t the volume needed to reach that level of success to maintain. Still, we must first appreciate...

HubPages vs. Vocal

Gaining Context I opened my account at Vocal around two years ago when I published my first article. It was a syndicated article from my golf blog, which surprisingly has done better than all other articles since. Around three months ago, I decided to give Vocal a real chance with a renewed effort and by becoming a Vocal Plus member. They enticed me with half off a year’s membership ($50 for a year, usually it is $99 annually or $10/month). Since this renewed effort, I have published nine articles; six were written originally at Vocal (four were for Vocal Challenges), and the other 3 were syndicated from elsewhere. The plan for Vocal was to publish my creative writing there originally, which meant I had to switch from HubPages where these were published originally before. The distracting ads and lackluster RPM helped make this decision, although I’ve been writing on HP for over a decade. After three months of “working” Vocal, I’ve realized it isn’t worth paying the $10/month. I’ll expl...
