The Basics of Promoting Your Quagensia-Enhanced Content
There are two main ways to promote your Quagensia®-enhanced content:
- We may promote it for free if it is high-quality and in keeping with our brand.
- There are many ways to promote your content on your own.
Make content traders want.
Your video content should present specific calls-to-action once you've delivered real value to the viewer.
Ask users to like, subscribe, share, and comment on your videos after you’ve delivered maximum value to them.
If you have an email newsletter, then at the end of your Quagensia-enhanced video, after you’ve given the viewer a lot of value and made them really want to download the Quagensia Strategy that you talked about, tell the viewer that all they have to do to get your Quagensia Strategy file is to sign up for your email newsletter. Offering a Quagensia Strategy file download in exchange for a trader’s subscription to your email newsletter is the perfect way to get traders to subscribe to your email newsletter and look forward to receiving it. Traders are tired of giving out their email address for a PDF of some trading rules or other trading content that they probably already know anyway, and they definitely are much less likely to give you their email address if you are offering them nothing at all for an email newsletter signup. How much is a new email newsletter subscriber worth to you? How many more new email newsletter subscribers do you think that you could get per month by publishing Quagensia-enhanced content with an offer for a Quagensia Strategy file download in exchange for a trader’s subscription to your email newsletter than you could by publishing content with no free file download offer?
You can submit your content to us for consideration for free inclusion on our website.
We invite you to submit your high-quality Quagensia-enhanced content to us for consideration for free inclusion on our website using the How to Submit Your Quagensia-Enhanced Content page.
Quagensia-enhanced content that we will accept includes videos, articles, strategies, and anything else Quagensia-related, and will be considered so long as it adheres to the rules on the What are the Rules for Creating Quagensia-Enhanced Content? web page.
You can post your content to your social media channels.
You should have your own social media channel on each of the major social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads, LinkedIn, TikTok, and any other major social media channel specific to your country or spoken language, and always post your content to all of them.
As described in What Types of Quagensia-Enhanced Content Should I Create?, video content is usually best, even for social media platforms that aren’t focused entirely on video.
Many major social media platforms allow users to post videos to their social media accounts as long as the videos are not longer than a specified maximum duration. To get the most views of your video content whether or not we choose to promote it, you can post every video you make to social media platforms that support videos of your video’s duration, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
Also, you can create short “trailers” or summary videos for your full-length videos and post them both to social networks like TikTok that focus on ultra-short video content as well as to social networks that accept ultra-short videos including X, YouTube’s “Shorts”, and Instagram’s “Reels”. Benefits of creating ultra-short summary videos for your full length videos include:
- A lot more social networks support ultra-short videos than full-length videos. Make it once, post it everywhere.
- Users are more likely to click on a 60-second video than a 30-minute video, and then you have up to 60 seconds to get them motivated enough to commit to a 30-minute video. Even on a social network like YouTube that supports both types of video formats, an excellent 60-second video will often win a user over who generally doesn’t click on long videos posted by trading YouTube channels with which they are not familiar.
Videos are a lot easier to post than they are to make, so post them everywhere you can post them for free to maximize your investment put into making them.

You can post your content to any appropriate subreddit, forum, or Facebook Group that allows self-promotion (although most don't).
- If you have something particularly noteworthy, have a lot of “Karma” on reddit and have been regularly participating in a subreddit that allows for occasional self-promotion, you could submit it there if you are confident that doing so won’t get you banned or otherwise punished by the moderators.
- Some subreddits and Facebook Groups allow self-promotion so long as certain other rules are followed. You can search and browse for trading-centric Facebook Groups at the Facebook Groups web page at Facebook.com. We hesitate to link to reddit’s subreddit search because reddit’s culture is generally very much against self-promotion. If you don’t already participate in a subreddit, you probably shouldn’t post your own content there.
You can post your content to your own website.
Posting your content to your website has the following additional benefits versus posting only on your social media channels:
- Over time, you can build a rather impressive website with your own proprietary content and build a sizable user-base that goes directly to your website each day.
- A visit to your website is probably significantly more valuable to you than a view of your content on one of your social media channels.
- Having your own website and consistently adding your own proprietary content to it will give you free traffic directly to your website from search engines such as Google and Bing.
Be sure to present a call-to-action within or next to every piece of valuable proprietary content on your website, such as asking your visitors to sign up to receive your email newsletter in exchange for a Quagensia Strategy file.
