      I'm curious about how you attract readers from Reddit, which is extremely aggressive in banning people who promote their own links.

            Mturk is just a crowdsourcing platform which Hubpages hires to check new hubs. So it's just people being paid to check your hubs for quality.

   You should try creating some content for YouTube as well.
   
   If you create quality content, often it can find its way to be shared on facebook, reddit and beyond..

      So far I haven't found YouTube to be worthwhile for attracting readers or generating enough revenue to make video production worthwhile. But maybe  others do better.

   Mainly the Google search engine, meaning organic traffic; a bit from some social media like Facebook and Pinterest; some from other search engines like Bing. Google is the best and easiest way to get traffic as far as I'm concerned. More reliable into the future.

       The more traffic sources the better (don't keep all your eggs in one basket).
