Can you promote here?
The rules prohibit promoting your own product here. You can still be genuinely useful in comments (which builds the account standing every other community checks), but any promotional post or link is likely to be removed and can earn a community ban.
From the rules · Minimum 10 karma to post; zero-tolerance instant/permanent bans for self-promotion, recruiting, or blogspam.
Links
Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: story, discussion, question
Headline: short, plain, attention-grabbing (numbers or emotion help). Write in first person, ~200–800 words, casual/candid tone—often salty or humorous. Lead with a specific anecdote or metric, describe context and lessons learned, end with a clear question or takeaway. Posts that are actionable, honest, or entertaining get upvoted; pitches, recruiter posts, or vague queries get removed.
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/sales'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.
