Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is judged case by case. Post flair is required.
- Blog/Article/Video Link: Link submissions to blogs, articles or videos are not allowed
- Advertising: This place is not for offering services or looking for a job, these posts belong in /r/forhire, or /r/jobs.
- Low Quality Content: Posts may be removed if they are linked to a source that is low quality. If the content from the link is short and doesn't require graphics to help deliver the message, then post all the content from the source in your submission with a link to the source at the bottom.
- Flair: Use appropriate flair to mark your posts. If you can't find a flair that's matches your post, choose "Other" and contact the mods with a flair submission.
Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

When was r/digital_marketing created?
r/digital_marketing was founded in October 2012 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.
Who posts in r/digital_marketing?

The first, “Advertising”, says: This place is not for offering services or looking for a job, these posts belong in /r/forhire, or /r/jobs.
