First Explosive Reddit Post

by John Bae

Had a unexpected surprise on a Reddit post. While I did prepare quiet a bit to write up a concise yet captivating description, I feel as if setting a video as the main attraction helped gain traction. Really thankful to the /r/productivity community!

    You smashed it. You were top of the subreddit for a long time.

    How much traffic did it drive?

      Around 700 visitors in two days from Reddit. Far from what we got from Producthunt last year (around 10k in two days) but still a nice bump up from our usual traffic! The conversion rate was much higher from Reddit however (19% vs 10%).

      I recommend setting a video / gif as your main post content. Further descriptions can be set in the comment section. I find that this is far more effective than writing out descriptions in text in the post content.
