Subreddit rules check
r/forhire
Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Accounts must be >1 month old and meet an undisclosed karma minimum for [For Hire]; one post per 7 days; no affiliate/referral links.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion
Title must start with [Hiring] or [For Hire], include what/where/rate in the headline. Use first person for freelancers; be specific and factual in the body (scope, requirements, portfolio link, hourly or budget). Short, clear, professional tone (single post per 7 days). Include rates (≥$15/hr) and no image-only posts or affiliate links. Mods remove vague/low-pay/off-topic promos.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/forhire's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
