How to Repurpose your Content on Reddit

I’ve written about Reddit before and it’s so good that I am writing about it again.

It is one of the most underrated platforms and is an amazing means to repurpose your content. Reddit is an opensource website that allows users to post content, create communities, and share comments. It’s an excellent resource for researching as well as engaging your audience.

What’s unique about this platform is that it allows users to explore, categorize, and share useful content. This sharing is helpful in increasing your online visibility as well as promoting your content.

The basics of Reddit include;

1. posting links
2. reading content
3. rating content
4. joining discussions
5. finding subreddits.

A subreddit is basically a subcategory of a category that you selected.

Ready to Create an Account on Reddit + Get Jammin’?

In order to create a Reddit account, you will need to register by creating a username and password.

Once you’ve registered, you can start sharing and recommending content.

Underneath the site’s search bar, click “Create Post” to share new content.

Submitting to Reddit is quick and easy. Copy and paste your link where it says URL and be sure to include a title. If you can’t think of a title, click “Suggest Title” and the site will generate one for you.

Once you’re satisfied, click “Post”.

To recommend content, click “Upvote” or “Downvote” next to any link you see. Popular content will rise to the top as downvoted content becomes less noticeable.

To get connected, join communities that you are interested in. Reddit works best when you have joined at least 5 communities. There is literally something for everyone.

Once you have joined a community, posts will start popping up on your feed as well as top or promoted posts. If you’d like to see more or less of something, just adjust your category selections or join or leave communities according to your interests. In terms of posting, no need to reinvent the wheel.

You’ve already got content that you’ve shared on other platforms repurpose it on Reddit!

As mentioned before, this will increase your online visibility and attract readers to your other platforms. Possibly the most important benefit of Reddit is the engagement that you get from users who are “Upvoting”, “Downvoting”, or commenting on your content.

In a short period of time, you can get a lot of information and feedback from your audience. A popular feature to use is the “Poll” option where you can get real-time answers to your questions.

While repurposing your content on Reddit is a no-brainer, it is also a great space to get ideas for new content. Sometimes coming up with new content is time-consuming. Other times we are met with the infamous writer’s block and we aren’t sure where to start or go next.

A quick peruse of the site and categories of interest can help to spark new ideas or remind you of ones that you have been meaning to get to. Find out what your communities are talking about or what problems they’re experiencing.

Engage in the discussions or incorporate them into your own content.

Since Reddit allows you to ask questions directly to your communities, you will get quick and targeted responses. Reddit users can remain anonymous and so, you will likely receive fairly honest answers as well.

The “Karma” point system keeps users in check and encourages them to give meaningful answers.

Whether repurposing your content or gathering ideas for new content, Reddit is great place to start.

It is a dark horse in the world of social media platforms but contains invaluable information. The community engagement is what sets it apart. It is current and can get you valuable feedback in a short amount of time.

Reddit prides itself on being the “front page of the internet” and being the sixth most popular site in the US as well as the 18^th most popular worldwide, it isn’t wrong in saying so. The sooner you start “redditing” and repurposing your content, the sooner this popular site will start working for you.
