This means that there is one more piece of advice: "If your post didn't hit the front page in the first attempt, try again later".

Yeah, I will post something 2-3 times, often with days or weeks between them.

I've also re-posted some things that others have posted (and others have re-posted stuff I've posted).

I think the key thing is to not spam. I share other people's posts mostly. 90-95% of my posts are what I find that I think the community might be interested in, as opposed to posts of my content.

It's a tough position to be in. I feel that I finally have some expertise worth sharing but at the same time I want to avoid backlash from the community for promoting my own content and projects. At the same time, I really do enjoy reading what others share and think without having to voice my own take. So when I miss the window, I miss the window.

		Please share your stuff! Just don't spam. If you don't promote cool stuff you write, who will?
