Made a post on Reddit and get 100k pageviews
by Duck_PainterSpent around a few months to add support of the new game to imonstream.com and after that made a post on Reddit community. Get 3 golds and 1 Platinum award a few news posts on other game's news sites. Received around 100 000 page view on the first day and around 300 excellent comments.
Some learnings:
-
Choose the relevant subreddit. for me, it was quite easy
-
Post time is critical, here is a tool that will help with that https://dashboard.laterforreddit.com/analysis/
-
Check prev. great post on selected subreddit and understand why it was. Community is very different on reddit, some subreddit have strict rules on others only gifs and images working well.
-
Read subreddit rules and don't break it.
-
Add "call to action" to the post, that will motivate people to leave comments. Number of comments is playing a critical role
-
Add graphics/images that will add a little bit more visibility to your post in the list with other posts.
-
Structure the post, highlight important things, use formatting and separate text on sections.
-
After publishing spends a few hours to answer questions. That's a super critical thing.

Do you have a link to the reddit post? Most people's reddit launches fail dramatically, so it would be interesting to see what a successful one looks like.

Reddit is a great place to learn about new things, find communities and make friends. It's also a great place to express yourself and your thoughts. I would recommend this Event Production Seattle for best production seattle. Reddit is a social news site and forum where you can submit links to content that other Redditors vote up or down. The front page of the site is called The Front Page Of The Internet, though it doesn't always get the full attention it deserves.

Awesome work. It definitely deserves all the upvotes, this is an awesome tool that you're providing. Especially because it looks like you haven't cracked monetization yet.
Have you figured out how much it costs to scan a stream? I'm sure it's pricey via cloud services, but I wonder about running it on your own hardware might be sustainable? Then, I wonder how far off amazon is from doing this all on their own.
I wanted to build one of this for Destiny backed when I played games but I had hoped to do it via API, doing via OCR is next level, good for you.
I'd also look at scanning through highlight videos on youtube because that would also be fun to be know from a gamers point of view. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjIWKMh6lz8
For monetization maybe you could look at a notifications/subscription service? Something like a $1 month and you can email a subscriber when they show up on someone's stream.
Maybe something like near time notifications $25 a month, but wonder if that would really encourage stream sniping...
Either way, awesome stuff.

Yeah, as a next step, I'm planning to add subscription. It will automatically notify players when I will find them in streams. good point monetization, I will start from free service and will decide later based on how it will go. Thank you for good suggestion!
