Can you promote in r/hireanartist?

A highly curated feed of real, independent artists

The short answer

Reply publicly with a concise, tailored comment that references the post details, includes a portfolio link and specific pricing/turnaround for the request, and avoid one‑word replies, copy/paste pitches, or unrelated offers.

What works here

  • Tailored replies that address the client's post details
  • Including a portfolio link and specific price/turnaround
  • Applying under the correct 'Artist for Hire' flair and title conventions
  • Disclosing relevant affiliations briefly and transparently

What gets posts removed

  • Posting single-word 'Interested' or 'DM me' comments
  • Copy/paste or duplicated spam comments
  • Offering work for free, rev-share, or 'pay after funding' models
  • Unrelated upsells, links to Patreon/Etsy/mass-produced items, or banned content (AI, NFTs, etc.)
