What to post in r/EarnExtraIncome
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A detailed write-up of a side gig you actually ran, with what you earned and what you learned
- A specific question about your own situation, like your available hours and skills, asking for income ideas that fit
- A breakdown of one money-making method you tested, including the honest downsides
- A helpful, civil reply to someone asking for advice, where your product only comes up if it genuinely solves their problem
- A step-by-step account of how you built a small income stream in your spare time
Avoid
- Posting anything NSFW, which the first rule says gets you banned outright
- Dropping a link or a pitch with no context, which reads as spam and gets removed
- Asking a vague question like how to make extra cash without sharing your own situation
- Being rude or dismissive to people who are trying to improve their finances
- Writing a post that is really an ad but dressed up as a question

What r/EarnExtraIncome Is For
r/EarnExtraIncome is for people who want to make some extra cash, whether that means making money from home, making money online, or getting out of the house to earn it. The community shares at least one new money-making idea per day, and the ideas range from part-time work to passive income. Most of what gets shared are side gigs you could do in your spare time without risking your full-time job. The people posting here are everyday folks looking to improve their situation, not seasoned founders swapping growth tactics, so the tone is practical and personal.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide whether your post survives here. “No NSWF content!” comes with an instant ban, so this is a clean, work-safe community and anything else gets you removed permanently. “No Spam” is short but clear, and since the moderators say they remove spam, a post that is really an ad in disguise will not last. “Make your posts insightful” is the one that catches most marketers, because vague questions like how do I make extra cash get removed unless you include real details about your situation. “Be respectful” asks everyone to keep the conversation helpful, supportive, and civil. One thing I cannot tell you from the evidence is how this community treats promotion or links, because the rules do not spell that out, so be careful and lead with value rather than a pitch.
What To Post
A good post here gives before it takes. If you are a founder, the safest shape is a genuine write-up of a side income experiment you ran yourself, with real numbers, what worked, and what did not. That fits the community's daily rhythm of money-making ideas and it passes the insight rule because it is full of real details. If you want to ask a question instead, make it specific to your situation, like what you have tried and what your constraints are, so people can actually help you. If you have a tool or service that helps people earn extra income, frame it as a helpful answer inside a conversation, not as a standalone announcement, because the spam rule is enforced.
What To Avoid
The fastest way out of this community is NSFW content, because the rule says you will be banned for it. Spam gets removed, so do not drop a link or a pitch with no context. Vague posts asking for money or asking how to make extra cash get removed unless you share real details about your own situation. Rudeness, offensive comments, or disrespect toward other members breaks the civility rule, and everyone here is just trying to earn a bit more.
A note from Anthony
What stands out to me is rule three, because it forces anyone asking for help to share their real situation first, and that actually makes the community better for founders too. If you show up with honest numbers and a genuine story, you fit right in. The instant ban for NSFW content tells me the moderators keep this room clean and practical, so keep your post the same way.
