Can you promote in r/sidehustleindia?

India’s largest community for side hustle ideas. Discover online jobs, freelancing, passive income, and business ideas to earn extra money in India.

The short answer

Post a value-first, detailed post focused on India; fully disclose your affiliation and any referral/price details, avoid posting contact info in comments, and get mod approval if it looks promotional.

What works here

  • Sharing helpful side-hustle tools or products if you explain value and relevance to India
  • Referral posts with app name, bonus amount, and payment proof
  • Transparent hiring posts with role, pay, payment method and requirements
  • Answering questions and participating normally before promoting

What gets posts removed

  • Drop-in promo posts or one-line links without explanation
  • Soliciting customers, lead-generation, or recruitment via DMs without required transparency
  • Posting personal contact info in public comments
  • Any activity that manipulates platform metrics or review-farming
