Step 1 seems to be, choose the subreddit you want to target. Then, login, go to reddit.com/submit ... copy & paste your vid URL in there, give it a crafty title (or just your YT title), type in the subreddit name. Bam-o. Done. Check the "submitted" section to see your vote count (it starts at "1" because you give it a plus, then it will either go up or down over time).

Awesome! I think if you're doing something the Reddit-ers enjoy, and put it in the right category, it can be great. I guess the parody music scene is dead over there for me, ha ha...

Yeah, but I did get a lot of bad comments on Reddit, but luckily those didn't head over to YouTube, just got a whole load of views!

Posting Mad!
I tried Reddit too but unfortunately I got some down votes and two dislikes on my video almost instantly, but yes, you should at least try.

You Hardcore Redditor here. Us redditors DESPISE self promotion; it's typically considered spam then gets downvoted.
Upvotes and Downvotes are a system reddit uses to create or destroy visibility of submitted content. Reddit is divided into hundreds of subreddits, which are various subscription a user is subscribed to that fills their feed.
Submitting to the correct subreddit is key when promoting your video on reddit though. In "Default" subs which are the one you'll see if your not logged into an account are the ones that EVERYBODY on reddit begins with. However there are many many more subs. I recommend joining reddit and hunting for subs that will accept shameless advertising. The key to reddit is an interesting title, and good content.
It's a matter of trial and error, ut once you learn reddit's interface and "reddit culture" it's relatively easy to do it. I fact I should be doing the same thing... I'm just lazy when it comes to advertising.
I'd recommend trying to advertise on non-defaults though.

Thanks for the advice! I'm new to Reddit, and I always like to hear from people who know what they're talking about. As you alluded to, when I post into the default "funny" category, it's seen as self-promoting and I get downvotes. When I post in the more appropriate "parody" category, tumbleweed rolls by, there's no one in there, ha ha... I'll have to do more research to see if there are some slightly more active subreddits that may appreciate comedic music...
