Putting the link in the main post suppresses traffic. Putting it in the comments means no one will find it. So where should you put it? Put it in your own first comment. Don’t leave right after posting— Immediately reply to your own post. This comment appears directly beneath your post, so anyone who clicks in will see it instantly. What should you write? Choose one—don’t cram all three. ① Link Put the link you couldn’t include in the main post here. ② Additional context Add a missing detail or unfinished thought from the main post. ③ Teaser for next time One sentence hinting at what your next post will cover. Keep it short—just one or two lines. Don’t turn it into a second post. Don’t post three replies at once—it looks like spam, and casual viewers will just scroll past. I recommend using just “additional context + link.” Once it starts feeling like a “please share” plea, casual readers won’t even look. After you post, do you reply to your own post with a follow-up? Or do you just leave and go?
