community rules

Can you promote your product in r/musicmarketing?

No. The rules explicitly ban promotion: Rule 1 is "NO SPAM / SELF PROMOTION," and both the sidebar and submit page say, "If you market or promote anything to this subreddit, including your music, social media, or services, you will be banned without warning." The only stated exception is that music marketing professionals may post tips and suggestions, but not links to social accounts, websites, or invitations to paid goods or services.

The rules that cover promotion

Rule 1: NO SPAM / SELF PROMOTION

"See our WIKI for a list of subs where you can share your music. If you are a music marketing professional, feel free to post your tips and suggestions, but NOT links to your social accounts, websites, or invitations to paid goods or services."

Sidebar / Submit page

"If you market or promote anything to this subreddit - including your music, social media, or services - you will be banned without warning."

Rule 8: Requests for plays / subs / followers / Feedback

"This sub is not the place for requesting Play 4 Play, followers or subscribers, such posts will be removed and continued offenders may be banned."

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.
