MARGINALLY UNETHICAL LIFE HACKS

How to Make Sure Everyone Reads Your Post

Jeevan Sivasubramaniam Posted by Jeevan Sivasubramaniam, Managing Director, Editorial, Berrett-Koehler Publishers Inc.



Making sure people read your post on Reddit, social media, or a bulletin board can be taxing given that posts go up at a rate of twenty every minute. An easy way to get your post read? Add the letters "NSFW" at the end of the posting title. NSFW (which stands for NOT SAFE FOR WORK) suggests that the contents are salacious or otherwise questionable in a way that would make it inappropriate for workplace viewing. And every time, people are intrigued and will click on it--whether they are at work or not.
