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 · Referral and affiliate links are restricted — any referral link must be clearly disclosed and low‑effort posts with them will be removed.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: story, question, showcase
Headline: short, direct first‑person or question (e.g., “I make $X/month from Y” or “How do I…?”). Post body: 300–800 words with concrete steps, metrics, screenshots or proof. Tone: practical, humble, helpful — focus on replicable details. Upvoted: specific case studies, realistic numbers, niche wins. Removed/downvoted: hypey sales pitches, rants, or low‑effort posts that include undisclosed referral/affiliate links.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/passive_income'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.
