Can you promote in r/entrepreneur?
Our community brings together individuals driven by a shared commitment to problem-solving, professional networking, and collaborative innovation, all with the goal of making a positive impact. We welcome a diverse range of pursuits, from side projects and small businesses to venture-backed startups and solo ventures. However, this is a space for genuine connection and exchange of ideas, not self-promotion. Please refrain from promoting personal blogs, consulting services, books, MLMs, opinions.
The short answer
Engage genuinely first, answer questions helpfully, avoid promotional language/links, and only share product/company details (with brief disclosure) inside the appropriate weekly thread or after getting mod approval.
What works here
- Answer questions and contribute to discussions
- Post promotions/offers in designated weekly threads (e.g., Thank You Thursday, Talent Tuesday, Feedback Friday)
- Request AMA via modmail and get approval
- Describe your business without naming or linking it when seeking feedback
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct promotions, sales pitches, solicitation, or recruitment outside approved threads
- Dropping URLs or asking users to DM you to drive traffic
- Launching surveys, lead-gen, or product adverts in regular posts
- Posting AI-generated content or low-effort posts
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo promotion, sales, or solicitation
Rule explicitly bans using community to sell, promote, recruit, solicit investment, or drive traffic; no URLs or asking for DMs.
Designated weekly threads for promotions
Free offers, promotions, jobs, feedback, and discounts are allowed only in specific weekly sticky posts (Thank You Thursday, Talent Tuesday, Feedback Friday).
Require community participation before posting
You must participate in comments on other posts before posting yourself — encourages genuine engagement over promotion.

AMAs require prior mod approval and a positive contribution history; prevents unscreened promotional AMAs.
Describe business without naming it
