Can you promote in r/buhaydigital?

For Filipinos earning a living online. This includes digital careers, content creators, startups, online businesses, streamers and other topics related to the digital economy. Feel free to discuss work and the buhay digital lifestyle.

The short answer

Add genuine value first (how-to, lessons, demos), disclose any affiliation, avoid direct solicitation/links-only posts, and follow pinned/thread-specific rules or mod guidance.

What works here

  • Educational posts that mention your product as an example
  • AMA, behind-the-scenes, how-to, comparisons that add value
  • Selling physical items tied to digital work (e.g., laptops) when relevant
  • Affiliate links if clearly disclosed and accompanied by useful content

What gets posts removed

  • Straight-up advertising, pitch-only posts, or asking for customers
  • Repetitive promotional posts or mass solicitation
  • Using vague 'DM for details' or linking away without summary
  • MLMs, investment/crypto/gambling solicitations

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

Self-promotion must add value

Transparency required for affiliates

Rule 12 requires disclosure of financial benefit and that affiliate links must be labeled and accompanied by useful content.

Spam and solicitation banned

Rule 13 treats goal-driven recruitment of users/customers as spam; repeated promotional posts will be removed/banned.

Topic and content limits

Rule 4 restricts no MLMs, investments, gambling, and unrelated selling; selling allowed only for physical items directly related to earning online.

Make an effort before posting

Rule 1 asks posters to search first, provide context, and add effort so posts are useful to the community.
