Can you promote in r/blogging?

A community for bloggers to connect, share ideas, and inspire each other to help their blogging journey.

The short answer

Don't post product pitches or links publicly — contact the moderators first, follow any approval instructions, use designated threads, and prioritize helpful non-promotional contributions with clear disclosure if mentioning your product.

What works here

  • Participate in regular discussions and help answers (after meeting account requirements)
  • Request approval from mods to advertise or share external links
  • Use designated directories/forms for guest posts or collaborations
  • Post feedback in the monthly feedback thread

What gets posts removed

  • Public posts that advertise or solicit customers without mod approval
  • Including external links or affiliate/referral links in posts or comments
  • Posting promotional content, launches, or product demos as normal posts
  • Using posts to recruit customers or run surveys without clearance

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No Promotions / External Links

Rules explicitly ban self-promotion, 3rd-party promotion and external links unless mods approve — so public pitches/links will likely be removed.

Ads Require Mod Approval

Advertising services or tools is disallowed without moderator approval — you must contact mods first to run promotions.

No Affiliate Links

Affiliate/referral links are strictly banned, so any promotional posts using referral tracking are not allowed.

Feedback & Guest Post Channels

Feedback requests and guest posting have designated threads/forms/directories, indicating promotion must use approved channels.

Account Requirements

Accounts must be 3+ days old and have 3+ comment karma to post or comment, limiting cold outreach.
