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 · Subreddit appears to be archived (posting/commenting may be disabled); rules don’t state promo policy — ask moderators before posting promotional content.
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: discussion, guide, question
Headline: concise problem or result (e.g., “How we increased demos 3x — tactics & metrics”). Prefer first‑person case studies or clear how-to guides. Typical length 150–400 words with bullets/metrics. Tone: practical, professional, data‑driven. Upvotes for actionable tactics, experiments, templates, and real metrics; blatant pitches, one‑line promos, or product ads 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/startupsales'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.
