Can you promote in r/estimators?
Welcome to the subreddit dedicated to construction estimating! A place to share methods, tools, tips, and experiences in regards to construction estimating. Add flair for your trade. You can edit if needed.
The short answer
Answer helpfully first, disclose your affiliation if relevant, keep promotion to comments and the weekly software thread, and avoid overt recruiting or market-research style posts.
What works here
- Answering questions and contributing to discussion
- Mentioning your business in comments when adding value and disclosing affiliation
- Posting in the weekly software thread for beta/feedback/research
What gets posts removed
- Making posts whose primary purpose is advertising, recruiting, or lead-gen
- Asking market-research style questions or soliciting feedback outside the weekly thread
- Low-effort promotion or posts without meaningful contribution
