In this video, I'm going to show you how
you could submit a link on Reddit.
There are two types of ways to submit on
reddit. One is a text post and one is a link post,
which could be an image or a
video. I'm going to show you this on the
desktop, but you could also use the
mobile app to do this. On the desktop,
the options are right here. Submit a new link or submit a new post. Now if you do a new post,
it's obviously a text post, but if you
do a new link, it let you do a video post.
So this is the video I want to post.
This is the one on YouTube I have
uploaded it to YouTube. Now at this
moment, Reddit is not allowing you to
directly upload videos to it, so you
could upload a video to YouTube and then use the linking YouTube to submit to Reddit.
So I'm just copying this link up here.
I'm going to go over here and I'm
going to paste it right here and then I
could come back here and i'm going to
take my title and I'm going to bring it here.
Now here's the part that most
people get confused about.
There are things on Reddit known as subreddits. They're basically categories
So if you don't know anything about reddit, it's basically made up of multiple categories known as subreddit.
So here, it's asking me to choose my subreddit.
Now most subreddits on reddit are text
based. They will not allow you to upload
video to them, so if i go ahead and do
this and then i just choose some
subreddit and I press submit, it's not
going to let me submit it,
because it might be a text only subreddit, so I have found some subreddit that allow video.
They're video based subreddits, so in this
case. I know cooking videos, this one right here,
is the subreddit that allows
videos, so this is what I'm going to choose
and I'm going to press submit and
now the submission has taken place and
my video should be on that subreddit, so
now here, this is the subreddit cooking videos,
if I go to the homepage of the
subreddit I'm just going to click the
top banner here, you see my video is
showing up right here someone could
watch it here, they could submit an
upvote for it, they could comment and
share it and again, you see all these
other ones that been posted here for food.
Now let's say your video is not
food-related.
You'll have to find a subreddit that
matches your category. Let me show you a really easy one for video.
So if you go to reddit.com / r / videos,
this is another subreddit where you could submit a video to, so when you come to the subreddit,
you see on the side, it says
submit video, you could select that and
you could submit your video here. Again
every subreddit has their own rule and
if you're brand-new to Reddit and you
don't have karma, karma basically is when
you spend some time uploaded videos,
engage with other users, your video is
not going to be allowed to be posted.
Reddit is a little bit complicated of a
place. It's really not for self-promotion.
It's more for communitie, so if you want
to self-promote, make sure you do enough engagements and make sure you read about the subreddits
and make sure they allow you to do the things you want to do on there,
like submitting your own videos.
Here's another subreddit I like that's
video based and I do make videos that
are motivational, so if you come here,
there's motivational videos and you
could submit your subreddit to it.
Again, make sure every time you read the
subreddit guidelines ,so your post
doesn't get banned immediately and make sure you build your karma.
This is not going to be like making an account and the next day uploading your videos to it
and getting ton of views. So if you want
to use Reddit to show your videos,
make sure that you get some engagement first and build up your karma.

how-to videos and I hope to see you on
