Mannamal Report post Posted July 2, 2013 I'm a redditor, and I know some of you are too! (Your comment styles give it away). A lot of you probably don't reddit as well. I think we all should! It's a one-stop forum as opposed to a mutiple-topic one, but good for general discussions in view of the public eye as opposed to some leatherworking site that nobody out of the loop knows exists (not a bad thing). Anywho: http://www.reddit.com/r/Leatherworking/ It's pretty dead in there. Let's liven things up! (There's also http://www.reddit.com/r/Leather/, but that's even deader) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightingale Report post Posted July 4, 2013 I'm a redditor as well, though I gave up on the Leatherworking subreddit for the reasons you mentioned. /grumpycat A little brag here: one of my tooled belts hit #1 on the front page, which was a huge deal for me. Evidence and story here: http://salukifeathers.com/199/super-mario-belt-on-reddit/ After this event, my website and Etsy views skyrocketed, and I had so many orders for belts and dog collars that I had to turn some orders down as I physically was not able to keep up with demand. The post (made by my brother) was not intended as a marketing strategy, but the attention it garnered really helped kick off my online business. A big part of this was that many bloggers around the workd wrote about the belt for months after, and I still get daily hits from them to my website, 6 months later. For the most part, I think reddit is perceived to be more for the younger generation who "get" the memes on the main subreddits, though a subreddit on a particular topic doesn't have to be that way. The subreddit would be a great way to draw in new folks interested in the craft who wouldn't normally happen across it in their regular Internet presence. I'm there, and I'll participate if you do . The more of us there are, the more likely we are to upvote ourselves to the front page! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
