this reddit post got me 6k views!

Hola 👋 

Last week I shared, how you shouldn’t sleep on reddit.

Check the screenshot below for why you shouldn’t be sleeping on reddit.

I took the screenshot at 4:08PM EST on Thursday and I think I’ll get about 8K views and maybe 21 comments by end of day.

When done right, reddit can be a great place to grow the newsletter. Like I said last week I got about 90% of my readers from just reddit.

Now I also mentioned last week that for almost a month mods from the subreddit were blocking my post…what changed?

I didn’t include any links…like zero.

Instead at the end of the post I let them know I would share the newsletter if they asked. I guess I might have found my workaround to post on the subreddit, now I’ll need to find a way to include the link so I continue to gain subs. 😅 

I still posted the newsletter link as a comment though 2 hours later 🥸 

Anyways I wanted to share the post that got me these views and engagement.

What's happening in Ottawa this weekend - April 24-26th

Hello, I have a weekly routine of going through all the events that are happening in the coming weekend. And then sending out the 5 coolest ones to my close friend's email. 

Thought I could share it here as well.

5 coolest events this weekend:

- event 1
- event 2
- event 3
- event 4
- event 5

**Then I just dive deeper into each event. 

Now disclaimer, I didn’t create this post I just copied the post from other X user called Gunner. Gotta give credit where its due.

Before I end today’s newsletter, have you tried to post on reddit to grow your newsletter?

See you next Sunday!
Daniel
