r/ecommerce_growth rules, stats, and what to post

What r/ecommerce_growth Is For

Reddit describes r/ecommerce_growth this way: Earn 10 comment karma to post in sub. Growth Marketing is a relatively new form of marketing. Product + customer success + market + user experience = Growth makes it new. Contact mod/admin for promotions.

For Rankhog planning, treat it as a place for marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions. Use the source description and the visible rule list before deciding whether a startup post belongs there.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The fetched old Reddit rules include "Rule 01". The rule to read twice is "Rule 01". It is the clearest source-backed warning against turning the subreddit into a launch, link, or sales channel.

What To Post

A strong post gives the community something to answer, inspect, or learn from before it asks for attention. Bring the audience, stage, constraint, what you tried, and the exact question.

Good fits include:

• Posts that match the community context: Earn 10 comment karma to post in sub. Growth Marketing is a relatively new form of marketing. Product + customer success + market +...
• Specific questions or lessons about marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions, with enough context for useful replies.
• Share a campaign postmortem with audience, channel, creative, budget, and result context.

What To Avoid

Do not use r/ecommerce_growth as a cold launch channel. The safest draft should still make sense if the company name, product URL, and call to action are removed.

Watch for:

• Anything that trips "Rule 01": No promotions allowed!
• Off-topic posts that do not fit the visible community context or marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions.
• Default startup promotion patterns such as link-only launches, DM requests, repeated pitches, or agency spam, thin tool pitches, and generic growth advice.

Rankhog Notes

Use this page as a pre-flight check. If the rule note and the community description do not support the post, choose another subreddit or turn the idea into a comment, lesson, or question first.
