Can you promote in r/guitarlessons?

A subreddit dedicated to learning guitar. Post lessons, ask questions, and get feedback on your playing on Feedback Fridays. The community is open to all people of all styles!

The short answer

Answer the user’s question helpfully first; only mention your product/site/app if it directly solves the request, disclose your affiliation, keep it informational (no sales language or pricing), and stay within posting-frequency limits.

What works here

  • Answer questions and post lessons that genuinely teach
  • Share your app/website or free resource only when directly relevant to a question
  • Post free lesson content sparingly (max ~1 own link per week; under 10% promotional activity)

What gets posts removed

  • Posting promotional ads, solicitations, or asking for money
  • Posting your app/website or product as a standalone promotion
  • Linking to commercial/paid offers or 'free trial lessons'
  • Posting more than one of your own videos/blog posts per week

Where this comes from

No advertising

The rules state posts whose main purpose is to get money will be removed and limit promotional activity to under 10% of participation.

One post/week guideline for teachers

Teachers should not submit more than one of their own videos or blog posts per week; post your stuff sparingly.

Apps/websites only when directly relevant

Sharing apps/websites you built is allowed only when directly relevant as a response to a question or need.

Free resources focus

Subreddit emphasizes free resources for learning guitar; explicitly forbids 'Free Trial Lessons' and commercial links.

Content must be lessons/questions

All posts must be a lesson, a subreddit-relevant question about playing guitar, or a Feedback Friday request.
