Where is the reddit AMA?

A big thing to get these successful is to have a reddit IAMA that hopefully reaches /r/all.

Is there one scheduled for the last week of the Kickstarter duration or something?

Looks like it’s on track to just barely finish around 300k-400k right now and really needs something to kick it up. I’ve tried sharing it around, but it’s getting very little media and reddit attention.

I’d reccomend putting it on r/pcgaming rather than any of the other subs like gaming or games. Pcgaming you are more likely to reach a target audience and get voted highly. Also, you dont have to worry about the mods there, whereas the others are known to have very poor staff.

I just made another post in r/gaming that is going really well: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/3q5frd/years_in_the_making_i_got_a_space_boner_seeing/

Nice.

There was a similar one that didn’t take off. Title and timing accounts for a ton.

It just blew past 1000 as if 1000 wasn’t even standing there.

An AMA is still a bigger deal, though. They are promotional by nature.

less than 10 minutes later we’re past 2800 :smile:

Concur with all, you guys need to set up an AMA pronto… we’ll promote it of course…

:slight_smile:

I sent a request to the mods of /r/gaming asking how we could go about doing an AMA. Does anybody have any idea of how kick off an AMA?

These links give a brief overview:

http://turner4d.com/10-tips-for-hosting-a-reddit-ask-me-anything-ama/

But it looks like it’s mostly self-hosted, as in you create the initial post. But you should probably contact a moderator on gaming and either ask for permission or advice etc

EDIT: looks like you already contacted a mod… I would start drafting your post - the title is ESSENTIAL. make it quippy…

You could also try doing one AMA now if /r/IAMA can schedule one ASAP on /r/gaming if the mods say it’s okay, and doing another one later for the last push.

To all of us reddit ignoramuses, who should they send a message to? can you provide a link?

Check the “Sidebar” on each subreddit, which is to the left side. That tends to have the rules and guidelines for each subreddit.

Yep. There is a lot about the timing and the way you title something to make it work there.

The same album was posted yesterday but this one was at a much better time and with a much better title.

I’m really confused by this “Submit AMA” screen. Is this submission for right now or is it something that I can schedule for the future? I’m not going to have time to do an AMA until next weekend…

The mod of /r/gaming said I should submit the AMA to /r/iama
