What r/thesidehustle's rules say about promotion

4 of 6 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

1. No advertising

   rule 1 of 6

   Any content that is deemed to be being posted for the sole purpose of stealth advertising/monetization, referral link spam, mentorship, or trying to sell a course will be met with a removal. The poster will also be banned from the community for between 7 days and permanently depending on the severity of the rule violation.

   Removal reason shown to posters: No advertising (R1)

2. No soliciting

   rule 3 of 6

   If you are reported for contacting users outside of the subreddit (DMs/other social platforms) without asking, you will be banned and your content will be added to our filtering systems to prevent future posts discussing your ideas.

3. Offers for work must be cleared

   rule 4 of 6

   In order to promote or offer users to work (think r/beermoney or other similar online hustle subreddits that allow task based work), you MUST have these posts cleared through modmail to prevent malicious advertisements being made for the sole purpose of data collection or manipulation. Any posts without approved flair/status are presumed malicious and should be reported.

4. No discussing explicit topics unless it's flaired/on topic

   rule 5 of 6

   While this subreddit is primarily SFW (safe-for-work), we do allow content or discussions surrounding sidehustle ideas that are adult content-related as long as they're not linking any platforms, NSFW content, not being used to stealth advertise on the subreddit, or are generic things like Fans-like platforms for adult content sales.

   Removal reason shown to posters: No discussing explicit topics unless it's flaired
