3.) Post in the correct subreddit!

A subreddit (sometimes referred to simply as a 'reddit) is the way that Reddit the site organizes it's posts content, specifically the users are expected to post the content into the appropriate category.

So you should definitely check to see if your post's general theme falls into one of the subreddits offered by Reddit (99.9% of the time it will).

Choosing the right subreddit can be somewhat tricky, and here's why:

You want to pick a subreddit that has enough viewers, but that isn't so crowded that your post will be lost in the shuffle.

Posting anything but an Imgur link in the r/pics subreddit, for example, will usually lead to your post being buried amidst a huge amount of submissions.

But if your post features, let's say, a ton of new pictures on the latest gadget, posting it in the r/Technology subreddit would bring in users who are not only interested in that specific category, but who also will pay mind to most new posts there because it isn't as crowded as r/pics or r/humor.

To check how many people have added the reddit to their frontpage, just open another tab, and after the regular Reddit address, type in /r/reddit-name. For example, to see the reddit about technology, you type [reddit.com/r/technology]Technology. To the right, you will see the number of people who have the reddit on their frontpage. Make you sure you choose a reddit that's relevant to your link, and has a lot of subscribers.
