How to be successful? It's a combination of frequency (how often you post), partly about timing (time/day of week), and, in the case of this particular subreddit, establishing some credibility.

I work in marketing and the fundamentals of advertising also apply here! (We are all advertising when we make a post.)

Attention - write a compelling post that catches the attention of the reader.

Interest - frame your post that makes the reader want to keep reading

Desire - outline the benefits. Aka "what's in it for them"

Action - always end with a call to action. Akas them to answer a question, comment, send a picture, etc.

Additional tips: - Have a variety of posts. They can be similar, yet different. (If anyone needs help with this, hit me up) - To gain credibility, all ya gotta do is simply engage within this subreddit.
