Reddit is content, discussion, and social news website. In Reddit registered users submit the post in form of text, image, videos, and links. All this content shared by registered members is seen by around 1.5 million users per day. Reddit is one of the biggest platforms for sharing your content, the only thing you need to do is sign up and start posting your links and some interesting posts. Also just like Instagram you can ask big pages with lots of followers to share your content at some price. Once your link/post got on the first page you will surely get thousands of hits in a day.

Similarly, what you need to do is write the article on trending product, service, or your genre specific. This is the quickest way to generate a good amount of traffic and if you are in affiliate marketing then you can make a good amount of money too.
