Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is allowed at a ratio — contribute before you post about yourself.
- No Promotional Case Studies: Posts promoting “get rich quick” schemes, exaggerated success stories, case studies used for marketing, or blog-style promotional content are not allowed. This includes posts such as “We turned $XXX into $XXX in 4 weeks. Here’s how,” generic how-to guides, “Top 5 ways you can…” lists, and similar content designed primarily to drive traffic, sell services, or market a product rather than contribute meaningful discussion. Keep posts focused on genuine, relevant conversation and practical value for
- Do Not Self-Promote: To maintain a healthy balance in the community, self-promotion must follow a 9:1 contribution ratio. For every 1 self-promotional post you share, such as links to your own content, products, or services, you should make at least 9 meaningful non-promotional contributions first. This can include participating in discussions, answering questions, sharing helpful third-party resources, or engaging in community threads. The goal is to encourage genuine participation and prevent spammy or overly prom
- No Blog or Link Spam: This community is not intended for promoting your blog, personal website, or external platform. While valuable resources may be shared when relevant, this space is meant for authentic discussion, helpful insights, and genuine engagement, not self-promotion. Repeatedly posting links to your own content without adding meaningful value may result in removal and moderator action, including bans.
