Can you promote in r/cfo?

Business finance related news, advice and conversation.

The short answer

Do not post promotional content or solicit customers; contribute useful, non-promotional professional insights and demonstrate expertise through regular participation.

What works here

  • share non-promotional discussion about business finance
  • discuss AI use cases at a high level without promoting a product
  • answer questions using professional experience

What gets posts removed

  • posting about your product, service, or website
  • asking for leads, customers, or 'DM me' requests
  • asking for users to test or build your product (AI marketing)
  • linking to or promoting commercial offerings

Where this comes from

No promotion

No AI marketing

AI use cases allowed but not promotional

High-level discussions of how peers use AI are allowed only if they don't veer into product promotion.

Reputation requirement

Users should show a history of bringing insights and professional value before posting.
