Best Subreddits to Promote a Podcast

Yes, you can promote your product in r/Solopreneur, but only under clear conditions. The sidebar says, "Self-promotion of your business/idea is encouraged but should be done while sharing in an IAmA/Q&A, question, or case study," and Rule 1 says self-promotion is tolerated only if it is straightforward, with "No disguised self-promotion or affiliate links." Posts about your business that do not give information, ask specific feedback questions, or provide a guide for discussion may be deleted.

No, you generally cannot promote your product in r/Entrepreneur. Rule 1, "No promotion, sales, or solicitation," says, "Do not use this community to sell, promote... or drive traffic to your profile, company, or external content," and adds that "Free offers and promotions belong only in the designated weekly threads."

You should not promote your product in r/socialmedia unless your post clearly fits the subreddit’s professional discussion purpose and does not function as unsolicited promotion. Rule 6 says, "please refrain from unsolicited self-promotion or driving traffic to personal channels," and the submit page warns, "SPAM/Advertising/Selling Accounts = BAN." If you share links, Rule 4 also requires your own commentary, context, or analysis.

You generally cannot promote your product in r/NewTubers. Rule 1, "No Self Promotion," says, "This is not a place to dump your videos and leave!" and only allows links to your content in the Weekly Feedback Friday and Self-Introduce Saturday megathreads, or in critique threads by other users. Rule 2, "No Advertising," also says advertising is not allowed without prior written authorization from the mod team, and that applies to third-party products, services, and market research.

You generally cannot promote your product in r/content_marketing through a normal post. The rules say, "NO self advertisement or any DIRECT advertisement allowed" and "If you want to promote your blog or a specific blog post, please comment in the stickied Check Out My Blog Post thread," while ads for a service or tool require contacting the mods in advance.

You generally cannot promote your product in r/podcasting outside the specific channels the rules allow. Rule 2, "Promoting Products or Services," says promotional posts or feedback requests for products, services, or tools are not allowed except in the weekly Product or Service promotional thread, and the submit page also says, "No promotions for podcasts, products or services without pre-approval by the moderators."

No, you cannot promote your product in r/Blogging under the posted rules. Rule 7 says, "Self-promotion, 3rd-party promotions & external links are not allowed," and the sidebar also says "No Promotions, Self-promotion or 3rd-party promotion isn't allowed." If your product is an ad, Rule 5 adds that "Advertising services or tools is disallowed without a moderator's approval."
