Can you promote in r/creators?
This is a community for bloggers, newsletter writers, YouTubers, Instagrammers, TikTokkers, Twitter-ers, and more to discuss content production, audience growth, and monetization.
The short answer
Participate first, share concrete learnings/stats or actionable help, clearly disclose your affiliation, and avoid purely promotional language or direct solicitations.
What works here
- Linking to your content when accompanied by helpful context or lessons
- Sharing metrics, case studies, failures and what's working
- Showcasing original creations you made
What gets posts removed
- Posting purely promotional solicitations or 'ask-for-follows' posts
- Dropping links without added value, context, or disclosure
- Using the subreddit solely for lead-gen, recruitment, or ads
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSelf-promo must be earned
Allows linking to your content only if you provide equivalent value (share what's working/flopping, hidden stats, tips). Pure asks for likes/follows are spam.
Help others help you
Requests should be specific and include context and relevant numbers—signals the community expects substantive contributions when asking for feedback.
Public description and sidebar
Community is for creators to discuss production, audience growth, monetization and to showcase creations made by the submitter—supportive of creator sharing when original and on-topic.
No low-effort content
Mods may remove vague or low-effort posts, so promotional content must be thoughtful and substantive.
