The short answer
Post a genuine, on-topic story first and transparently disclose your connection before mentioning your product or website; avoid overt advertising, links, or repeated sales pitches.
What works here
- Share written stories on-topic
- Mention your website/product when embedded in a story
- Follow reddiquette and avoid harassment
What gets posts removed
- Posting straight ads, solicitations, or obvious spam
- Posting walls of text that violate the rule
- Repeatedly promoting products or posting without a story context
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditExplicit conditional promotion rule
Sidebar rule: you may 'Only promote your website if you tell a story on your post'—permits promotion but only when embedded in a story.
Anti-spam rule
Rules repeatedly state spam will be removed, so unsolicited advertising is disallowed.
Content requirement
Subreddit is for written stories, so promotional content must be presented as a story to fit community purpose.
Behavior constraints
Follow reddiquette and no harassment—keep interactions respectful and community-focused rather than salesy.
