Long Island Advertising: The Do's And Don'ts Of Reddit Video

By Arthur Williams


It was recently announced, in their 2010 Year in Review report, that Reddit videos receive 1.4 billion views per month. To say that this is a tremendous statistic would be an understatement, as it indicates a shift toward this type of content on the aforementioned social channel. If you're a business owner, you may be looking to invest in this type of content as well. To go about this, in the right way, here are some Long Island advertising do's and don'ts to consider.

When it comes to video content on Reddit, keeping things short and sweet is recommended. If you've been on any social media platform recently, you might have noticed a shift toward videos that are short in length. This type of content, which usually doesn't go more than a couple of minutes at length, is easy to consume and provides value. As companies such as fishbat will attest, the shorter your videos are, the better they'll perform on Reddit.

Once you have the appropriate length for Reddit videos down, ensure that the subject matter is on topic. If a video fails to stick to a particular topic, regardless of the industry being discussed, anyone viewing it may lose interest. After all, they're not receiving the value that they expect. As long as you keep your content on the right track, it will perform, potentially attracting more leads from Reddit in the process.

Now let's discuss a few things that shouldn't be done with Reddit video content, starting with outward promotion. On social platforms like Reddit, users can determine when they're being advertised to, without any further value being presented. Blatant marketing won't fly, which means that business owners will have to be more creative with how they create content. It may take additional effort, on your end, but it will pay off.

A lack of genuineness can hurt your Reddit video content, too. There seems to be a shift in the mentality that adults have when it comes to companies they do business with. More often than not, they will gravitate toward establishments that help others or are involved in their communities. This goes back to the aforementioned idea of genuineness, which should be featured in the content that you post on social media, Reddit included.
