What r/copywriting's rules say about promotion
4 of 8 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.
No bilking, scamming, spamming, or profiteering.
rule 2 of 8
This isn't a marketing channel. A wee bit of self-promotion is fine, so long as it's a free & helpful resource. If links lead to a paid or lead gen effort, it must be disclosed or the post will be removed. If the post is all pitch and no value, it will be removed.
No undisclosed or unsolicited links
rule 3 of 8
Links are fine, but you must disclose whether payment or email signup is necessary to access information (even if free). Posts or comments that exist only to shill a product or service (e.g., a GPT-3 AI copywriting tool) will be removed and the user will be banned. Affiliate links will be removed and the user banned. Linking a free or paid service in response to someone's question or a request is ok.
No AI Shills
rule 5 of 8
No links to AI copywriting tools, no product reviews, no beta tests. Instant ban for anyone who posts this stuff. Only discussion is allowed.
Removal reason shown to posters: AI Shill
Job ads are fine. Pitching your copy services is not.
rule 8 of 8
It is ok to make a post about hiring. It is not ok to make a post advertising your copywriting services.
Removal reason shown to posters: Self-promoter.
The other 4
- Only post things loosely related to "copywriting."
- No pirating courses, content, etc.
- Don't be a dick.
- Personal Income Claims or Promises Require Verification
