What to post in r/DigitalMarketing

What fits the room, and what gets removed.

Works well

  • A plain text post walking through a campaign you ran and what you learned, with no links
  • A specific question about a tactic, like asking how others handle a channel or a budget problem
  • A breakdown of a trend you noticed in your own work, shared as experience rather than a pitch
  • An honest post about a mistake you made in a campaign and what you would do differently
  • A thoughtful reply inside someone else's thread that shows you know the craft

Avoid

  • Posting about your service, your agency, or anything you sell, because “No posting of services.” removes it
  • Announcing a webinar, workshop, or seminar, because “No posting of seminars.” removes it
  • Sharing your own blog post, product, or case study to get clients, because “No self-promotion.” removes it
  • Asking people to fill in a survey or review your landing page, because “No Surveys/Feedback/Reviews” removes it
  • Pasting a ChatGPT draft and hitting submit, because “No AI Generated Posts” gets you deleted and banned
  • Assuming a soft pitch in the comments is safer than a post, since the description says promotion is strictly enforced

What r/DigitalMarketing Is For

This is a room for digital marketers who want professional conversations about digital marketing. The description is short and clear, a place for digital marketers to come together and talk shop. The rules tell you who is welcome and who is not. People who work in marketing and want to exchange ideas fit right in. People who arrive to sell something do not, because the community states plainly that promotional posts are not allowed and that this is strictly enforced.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Every rule here matters, because the description says no promotional posts and that the rule will be strictly enforced. “No posting of services.” stops you from advertising what you sell. “No posting of seminars.” stops you from promoting events and webinars. “No self-promotion.” stops you from pushing your own blog, product, or company. “No Surveys/Feedback/Reviews” stops you from asking the community to fill in surveys or review your work. “No AI Generated Posts” is the one that can cost you your account, because posts that look like they came from ChatGPT or another chatbot get deleted and the user gets banned. If you want to advertise, the rules point you to reddit.com/advertising instead.

What To Post

A good post here is a genuine contribution to a professional conversation, written by you and about the topic, not about you. Share a lesson you learned running campaigns, ask a real question about a tactic you are stuck on, or describe a result and how you got there without linking to anything you own. Keep your company, your product, and your links out of it. If you want to advertise, the rules point you to reddit.com/advertising, not to this subreddit.

What To Avoid

Do not post your services, your seminars, or anything self-promotional, because all three are named rules and the description says enforcement is strict. Do not post surveys, feedback requests, or requests for reviews. Do not post anything written by a chatbot, because the rule on AI generated posts does not just remove the post, it bans the user. The safest habit is to write every post yourself, in your own words, with nothing to sell attached.

A note from Anthony

This is one of the strictest rule sets I have written a guide for, and I respect it. Five rules, all pointed at the same thing, keep the selling out and keep the conversation professional. The AI rule is the one that made me sit up, because it does not just delete the post, it bans the person, so if you draft with a chatbot, rewrite it in your own words before you post. There are no observed top posts for this community yet, so I would treat it as a room where you listen first and earn your voice slowly.
