This is something that you may be wondering about...First you may wonder why am I talking psychology and secondly what in the world does this have to do with posting content on Reddit...
The answer to both is right here for you, and I certainly think it is important enough to make you aware of how psychology can affect the positive or negative social actions others may take on your posts...
PSYCHOLOGY OF REDDIT MEMBERS
As within others areas of life, when you interact with other people on Reddit, you will notice a certain amount of acrimony if members sniff a spammy post or do not agree with another member's position...
The same holds for the shares, the up or down votes, or as stated, the comments...There is no extra points given for shares or up votes or down votes..There has to be a compelling reason for them to take any action at all...
Even having a super post with lots of good and useful information will not get you an upvoteor a share in many cases. There has to be something that tugs at the reader...
Things that can help are good strong titles, a catchy thumbnail if used, and a prose that will tug at their emotions over just presenting information....
People share content for three reasons I think as follows:
- They think it will be good for someone else they know.
- They think it will promote a discussion with people they know.
- The content says something that they agree with or feel strongly about.
So as you plan your content, do so with this in mind. I already have mentioned many other cautions about Reddit to now, and if you are serious about getting a good 'karma' score and also building your authority and credibility, keep these things in mind.
This is also why I say do not go into this lightly. The members will tear you up if they feel you are just there to sell something. In a way this is good, because you know you have serious players on the platform...
Lastly, we will cover some advanced features that you may want to tap into and then wrap up the training....Ready for the last page? ===>
