Can you promote in r/ugcforbrands?

Connecting UGC Creators With Brands

The short answer

Participate organically, ask moderators for permission before posting links or promotional content, and disclose any affiliation if permitted.

What works here

  • Ask moderators for approval before posting promotional content or links
  • Engage in non-promotional discussion and community matching
  • Post promotions only in approved threads or after explicit permission

What gets posts removed

  • Posting unsolicited promotional content or outside links
  • Sharing tools, websites, or solicitations without prior moderator approval
  • Spamming or posting irrelevant offers

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No promotions without approval

The rules require asking moderators for permission before posting outside links or promotions, meaning direct vendor outreach is restricted

No outside links without approval

Outside links (esp. for tools/websites) are explicitly banned unless approved, so linking to your product is disallowed without mod sign-off

No spam or irrelevant posts

Spam or irrelevant promotional posts can result in permanent bans, so unsolicited solicitations are high-risk
