community rules

Can you promote your product in r/remotework?

You should not promote your product with direct blog links, because Rule 1, "No Blog Spam," says, "we're removing any direct links to blogs." The rules do not explicitly mention product promotion more broadly, but posts that function like job posts are barred by Rule 2, and narrowly job-specific posts are barred by Rule 3.

The rules that cover promotion

Rule 1: No Blog Spam

"Content should live in the subreddit. To help combat spam, we're removing any direct links to blogs."

Rule 2: No Job Posts

"This is not a job board."

Rule 3: No job-specific advice posts

"this subreddit is for remote work as a whole."

Quoted from the subreddit's own rules, snapshot from July 2026. Read all 3 rules on Reddit

What gets removed

  • Direct links to blogs
  • Job posts
  • Job-specific advice posts, such as posts about making money as an asset trader, MLM seller, or virtual assistant

Safer ways to show up

  • Keep content in the subreddit instead of linking to a blog
  • Post about remote work as a whole, not a specific job niche
  • Avoid anything that reads like a job post
  • If commenting, job-specific comments are allowed when highly relevant
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.
