There is a saying on the street (street quotes):
If you don't get banned, you're not hustling hard enough π
You know how the hustle goes. You share your article on Hacker News π° but it just withers and dies π then you post it to Reddit, and someone tells you to chill the f* out π₯Ί you try promoting on a Facebook group and you get banned π΅βπ«
Here are some TIPS π€
- Specialize π©βπ Donβt try to establish a presence on every forum around. Pick a few communities that youβll enjoy hanging around on. When someone looks at your profile history make sure they see a person, not a marketing bot π€ Think βword of mouthβ, as opposed to SEO.
- Be helpful β You canβt just post a link to your article and expect people to follow it. Instead help solve the painful problems, subtly suggesting there is more where that came from. Think βeffectiveβ over βfrequencyβ.
- Forget about what you want π§ This is How to Win Friends and Influence People applied to the internet world. Focus on helping others, and theyβll happily come to you for more. Answer questions or point people to the right place for help. Build good karma.
- Make it easy to find you π If youβve helped enough people they will check out your profile π§βπ»Make sure to leave a link to your site there π In the case of Facebook or Reddit leave some clues in your posting history.
- Reuse your content π Reply using the posts you wrote, but change them enough to appear as if youβre answering the person directly πββοΈ
- Scout for problems in advance π΅πΌββοΈ Sometimes a question gets asked over and over again. Go through the archives and look for a question like that. Then write an article about it. If in the future the same question comes up youβll have an answer ready π
Hope this help π§§
