Can you promote in r/saas?

Discussions and useful links for SaaS owners, online business owners, and more.

The short answer

Contribute useful, on-topic comments first, clearly disclose your affiliation, avoid direct selling or lead-gen, limit product mentions/links (max 1 mention or 3 links per 60 days), and get mod approval for surveys/AMAs.

What works here

  • Relevant, value-first comments or posts about SaaS topics
  • Occasional product mention with clear disclosure
  • Blog posts with main ideas included in the post body
  • Mod-approved surveys/AMAs

What gets posts removed

  • Cold solicitation, selling, fundraising, or lead-generation posts
  • Multiple promotional-only posts or accounts focused on promotion
  • Naked links, obfuscated/tracking URLs, or link spamming
  • Offering free audits/feedback as promotion
