Can you promote in r/passive_income?

The largest passive income community on the web—share wins, vet ideas, and learn what really works.

The short answer

Participate genuinely first, provide substantive, on-topic value, disclose any affiliation, avoid affiliate/referral links unless clearly permitted, and follow the software/free-trial rule or ask mods before posting promotional content.

What works here

  • Sharing detailed passive-income methods or case studies
  • Discussing tools/software relevant to passive income (include free trial)
  • Posting with clear disclosure of any referral/affiliate relationship (when allowed)

What gets posts removed

  • Posting undisclosed referral or affiliate links
  • Low-effort posts primarily to drive clicks or leads
  • Vague posts or asking people to DM for info/offers
  • Posting paywalled/software without mentioning a free trial or getting mod approval

Where this comes from

Referral links require disclaimer

All referral links must be clearly labeled and low-effort referral posts will be removed

Affiliate links prohibited in sidebar

Sidebar explicitly lists 'Links to affiliate products' as content not to post

Software/paywalled content conditional

Promotions for software or paywalled content must be relevant to passive income and include a free trial or get pre-approval from mods

No vague posting / no DM solicitations

The subreddit forbids vague posts about opportunities and direct/implied DM requests for basic info

Moderation discretion

Moderators may remove content at their discretion, including spammy or low-value promotional content
