Rule summary

Stay related to copywriting: Posts should be loosely related to copywriting or discuss another topic through a copywriting lens.
No scamming, spamming, or profiteering: This is not a marketing channel; paid or lead-gen links must be disclosed and pitch-only posts are removed.
No undisclosed or unsolicited links: Links that exist only to sell or shill a product or service are high risk.
No AI tool shilling: AI copywriting tool links, reviews, and beta tests are not allowed.
Hiring posts are fine; pitching services is not: Job ads can fit, but advertising your copywriting services does not.

Works well

Specific copy critiques with audience, offer, context, and objective.
Discussion of positioning, hooks, landing pages, emails, ads, or conversion strategy.
Useful free resources with clear disclosure and no lead-gen trap.
Questions from practitioners that show effort before asking for help.

Avoid

AI copywriting tool promotion.
Lead-gen resources, undisclosed links, and service pitches.
Income claims without proof.
Asking for critique with no brief, audience, or conversion goal.

What r/copywriting Is For

r/copywriting is a practitioner community for learning, discussing, and critiquing advertising copy. It can be useful for SaaS messaging questions, but it is not a channel for AI writing tools.

What Works On r/copywriting

Good posts provide the draft, target audience, offer, stage of funnel, and what kind of critique you want.

What To Avoid

Avoid service pitches, lead-gen links, AI tool promotion, and unsupported income claims. The subreddit values craft and disclosure.

Sometimes, but disclose any signup or paid path and make sure the post is more useful than promotional.
