8 Dos and Don'ts for Improving Your Hive Link Sharing on Reddit. Hi...

We have an entire squad of godzillas of link sharing 😀 who generate dozens of thousands of views weekly (check out the HivePosh contest). But there are also many HivePosh users who have plenty of room to grow as link sharers. For them, here are dos and don'ts based on my observations from daily reviewing Hive link shares.

#1

Show that you are not a bot or bot-like person (aka a spammer), or else your account may be suspended by Reddit, especially if it's new. To do so:

share your images without links,
comment,
re-post,
engage below your shares when you can.

I don't ask you, dear reader, to invest too much extra time in your Reddit account but just keep it neat otherwise you might lose it.

Choose your own easiest way of doing so: maybe you love some game so it'd be easy for you to engage in a subreddit dedicated to it. Or, if you take cute pix of flowers/pets on your phone, find a sub about flowers/pets to post there. Etc.

#2

Don't share Hive links in subreddits dedicated to Hive and its projects: HivePosh doesn't reward this activity because it mostly exposes Hive to people who already have Hive accounts.

There are only two exceptions to this rule: r/Splinterlands and r/Holozing.

#3

Don't share Hive links on your own account page reddit.com/user/[yourusername]

It brings almost no exposure to Hive links. You will not get rewards for such shares.

#4

Don't share links in r/blog, r/blogger, r/BloggersCommunity, r/Bloggers: these are mostly dead subs that offer minimum exposure to Hive.

Shares in these subs get very low HivePosh rewards. We consider them the sandbox, that's why they are not banned from HivePosh.

Share links only in subs with a topic.

You can search for a subreddit on Reddit:

Or choose a subreddit from our Hive-friendly subreddit list (the list is not complete, of course, it is constantly being updated).

#5

We have a group of people who share only in r/Splinterlands, and that's fine. If someone blogs about this game, it's totally fine to share only in r/Splinterlands.

But it's important to know that shares in r/Splinterlands are unlikely to generate many upvotes and bring much exposure to Hive. So, if, one day, you want to be more helpful and get better HivePosh rewards, consider sharing Hive links in other subs too.

#6

Don't brigade for milking HivePosh through upvoting each other's shares.

The most valuable thing you have is your reputation on Hive. The attitude of other Hivers towards you may significantly worsen, and it would be hard to repair. Not to mention, you can get banned from HivePosh.

#7

For sharing links, choose a post type 'Link' or 'Text'. If using 'Text', a Hive link share must be a short teaser with a link visible in preview. If you are unsure about "teaser" and "visible in preview", simply choose a post type 'Link':

#8

Sometimes users create subreddits about Hive and hope that HivePosh will support them.

If you want to create a subreddit, choose any topic other than Hive, get at least 200 subscribers, and then HivePosh might start voting for shares in this sub provided it's a real subreddit, not just a place for dropping links.

I hope someone will find this post useful. If you still have questions, suggestions, or additions, I'll be glad to see your thoughts in the comments section below! 🙂
