353K Views in 11 Hours on Reddit

Mudiaga Ejenavi shares how he “got to the top of the r/internetIsBeautiful SubReddit with 353k post views and 6.6k Pageviews” 📈

He was posting about his Javascript job board, JsJobbs.

Key points:

• Mudiaga also posted in a couple of other subreddits and got little traction. So posting in multiple places worked well for him.
• He looked at what posts usually did well in each subreddit and titled his post similarly.
• The post was deleted by mods after about only 11 hours, probably for being too self-promotional. But by then the post was already a big success for Mudiaga.

Well, it wasn’t a big success for him financially – he figures only 2 paying customers came via Reddit – but he did get a lot of brutally honest feedback, which he’s leveraging to improve his job board.
