I’ve had a bad experience with Reddit, but I’m eager to give the other a that you have shared a try. It’s really hard to find an audience, I really appreciate you sharing this article. Thank you
Hi Tisanke,
Reddit can be tough. It is a community like FB and subreddit admins have lots of control over the content there. I would suggest creating an account if you do not have one, then posting to your own subreddit, which is just your user name. If you gain followers or anyone looks at your profile, they can then see your posts. As an added benefit, these posts will become nofollow backlinks which are good social signals for your blog.
Wow! A lot of these sites are news to my ears. I’ll surely bookmark this post for reference.
I found out about a lot of options I had never heard of – thank you!
I love this list, thanks for pulling it together for us fellow bloggers!
Great suggestions, thanks! I do need to try quite a few of those!
