Can you promote in r/socialmediamarketing?
r/SocialMediaMarketing is a place for SMM professionals to share industry-relevant information, discuss best practices, and provide constructive critique.
The short answer
Participate normally and provide helpful, substantive answers; if mentioning your product or service, disclose affiliation, avoid hard-sell language, and post service/job offers only in the designated weekly/monthly threads.
What works here
- Answering questions with substantive, non-promotional help
- Mentioning a product/tool when directly relevant and adding clear value
- Posting job/service ads in the designated weekly/monthly threads
What gets posts removed
- Astroturfing, coordinated or repetitive link-pushing
- Blatant advertising or low-effort promo posts
- Posting services or job offers outside the designated threads
Where this comes from
No Deceptive Promotion
The subreddit explicitly bans coordinated/inauthentic promotion, astroturfing, and repeatedly plugging the same link without other discussion.
Service/job ads confined to threads
Job opportunities and service advertisements must be posted exclusively in the weekly/monthly threads.
Blatant advertising removed
Sidebar states blatant advertising attempts will be removed and posts must add value to avoid deletion.
Link post expectation
Link posts must lead directly to the content described and not force signups before engagement.
