Can you promote in r/bassfishing?
The largest community on the internet for bass anglers from all around the globe to meet and exchange tricks, tips, techniques, and tackle!
The short answer
Be an active contributor first, disclose your affiliation, keep promotional content minimal and genuinely helpful, and avoid posting standalone links to your site/YouTube unless you've earned trust or follow flair/thread rules.
What works here
- Post product reviews or equipment questions in relevant flair (Tackle/Equipment).
- Share tips, catches, how-tos and ask for recommendations.
- Occasional self-promotional posts within the 9:1 contribution ratio and when clearly useful to the community.
What gets posts removed
- Posting links to private websites or YouTube without prior meaningful contributions.
- Posting primarily self-promotional content or ads (may be removed/banned).
- Spam, memes, or thumb pics.
