Can you promote in r/instagrammarketing?
All things White Hat and Black Hat Instagram.
The short answer
Participate as a helpful community member, answer questions first, disclose affiliation if relevant, and avoid promotional links or pitches unless a pinned thread or mod guidance allows it.
What works here
- Answer questions and provide actionable Instagram advice
- Share insights, case studies or experiences without a sales pitch
- Post shoutouts/engagement group posts in the pinned thread only
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct product/service pitches or calls to PM for services
- Posting links to commercial sites or landing pages without permission
- Posting shoutouts or engagement solicitations outside the pinned thread
Where this comes from
No self-promotion rule
Bans blatant self-promotion, websites, or 'pm me for a service' which indicates commercial outreach is not allowed
No spam
General prohibition on spam supports avoiding promotional/lead-gen posts
Shoutouts limited to pinned thread
Engagement group & shoutouts must be posted in the pinned thread, so promotional activity is only allowed in specific locations
Community welcomes Instagram discussion
Sidebar says all questions regarding Instagram are welcome, so helpful non-promotional contributions are acceptable
