Can you promote your product in r/Solopreneur?

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.

The rules that cover promotion

Self-promotion format guidance

"Self-promotion of your business/idea is encouraged but should be done while sharing in an IAmA/Q&A, question, or case study."

Only text posts

"Only text posts are allowed. If you have links to share, please do so in the comment."

Low-value business posts

"If you post about your business or startup but you're not giving any information, or you're not asking specific feedback questions, or you're not providing a guide for discussion, your post will be deleted"

Rule 1: No disguised self-promotion or affiliate links

"Self-promotion is tolerated within Reddit guidelines and only if it is straightforward. Making a post about something else and including your project or an affiliate link might result in a ban."

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

What gets removed

Posts about your business or startup that give no information, ask no specific feedback questions, or provide no discussion guide
Disguised self-promotion or affiliate links, this might result in a ban
Clickbait posts or posts telling people to DM, these will get removed and might lead to a ban
Link posts, because only text posts are allowed

Safer ways to show up

Share your business in a text post framed as an IAmA/Q&A, question, or case study
If you mention your business, be straightforward and do not disguise the promotion
Provide details, context, lessons learned, problems, and specific feedback questions
Put any links in the comments, not in the post itself

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.
