community rules

Can you promote your product in r/AskMarketing?

You should not promote your product in r/AskMarketing unless your post is genuinely a marketing question and not a sales pitch. Rule 2 says low quality includes "a poor attempt to shill or sell a product or service," and Rule 3 says "Non-relevant, advertising, and/or astroturfing posts will result in ban."

The rules that cover promotion

Rule 2: Low quality

"A question in a poor attempt to shill or sell a product or service, is someone's homework, surveys, and/or is looking for free marketing instead of paying for a professional."

Rule 3: Spam

"Non-relevant, advertising, and/or astroturfing posts will result in ban. This is your only warning."

Rule 1: Marketing question

"All posts should be related to marketing and should be a question. All other posts will be removed."

Whatever the written rules say, the pattern that gets promo removed everywhere is the same: batches of similar comments, reused wording, and necro-posting on old threads. A promotional mention only has value if it survives, so pace matters more than volume. We measured this the expensive way: 70% of bought pool comments were removed within two weeks.
