Can you promote in r/freelancing?
The short answer
Do not mention or promote your product/company; instead contribute impartial, helpful advice and answer questions without links or solicitation.
What works here
- participating in discussions without promoting services
- sharing neutral, non-commercial advice or resources (no links)
What gets posts removed
- posting product links, demos, launch announcements, or offers
- soliciting customers, leads, surveys, or recruiting using the subreddit
