Can I ever mention my product here?
Only if another user directly asked for it. “No Spam or Self-Promotion” allows promotion when it is requested, and removes it when it is not.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Be Respectful: This community thrives on positive and constructive interactions. No personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech.
- Stay On-Topic: Posts should be related to HubSpot or general marketing & sales practices. Off-topic discussions should be directed to other relevant subreddits.
- No Spam or Self-Promotion: Posts or comments that promote specific sotware, services, or products without being directly requested by another user are considered self-promotion and will be removed. Instead, focus on contributing meaningful educational content directly within your post or comment. Our goal is to maintain a helpful and community driven environment, free from unsolicited advertising.
Works well
- A detailed walkthrough of a HubSpot workflow you use, with every step written out in the post itself.
- A specific question about how to set up or improve something in HubSpot, asked in good faith.
- A plain explanation of a marketing or sales practice you have tried, with the honest results included.
- A comparison of approaches to a common marketing or sales problem, written as education rather than a pitch.
- Helpful answers in other people's threads, which builds the standing that makes your own posts welcome later.
Avoid
- Posting a link to your software, service, or product when nobody asked for it, because “No Spam or Self-Promotion” says that gets removed.
- Dropping a link and a one-line teaser instead of writing the useful content out in full.
- Starting a discussion about something unrelated to HubSpot, marketing, or sales.
- Treating the subreddit like a billboard for your launch, which the rules call unsolicited advertising.
- Getting sharp with someone in the comments, since “Be Respectful” bans personal attacks and harassment.
- Only showing up when you have something to promote, because the rules ask for meaningful educational contributions instead.
What r/hubspot Is For
This is a community for people who use, work with, or are curious about HubSpot, which the description calls the world's number one customer platform. The rules widen the door a little: posts about general marketing and sales practices are also welcome, not just HubSpot itself. In practice that means you will find marketers, sales folks, and people running customer platforms talking shop, asking how to do things, and sharing what worked for them.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Three rules decide whether your post survives here. “Be Respectful” means no personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech, and the community says it thrives on positive and constructive interactions. “Stay On-Topic” means your post has to relate to HubSpot or to general marketing and sales practices, and off-topic talk belongs elsewhere. “No Spam or Self-Promotion” is the big one for founders: promoting a specific software, service, or product is only allowed when another user directly requested it, and everything else counts as self-promotion that gets removed. That same rule tells you what the moderators want instead, which is meaningful educational content written directly inside your post or comment.
What To Post
Write the lesson inside the post itself. If you learned something about HubSpot workflows, marketing, or sales, explain it in full in your post so people get value without clicking anywhere. A good shape is a specific question about how to set something up, or a walkthrough of a marketing or sales practice you have actually used. If someone in a thread directly asks you what tool or service you use, that is the one situation where naming or linking your product is allowed. Keep every post connected to HubSpot or to marketing and sales generally, and keep the tone constructive and helpful.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed here is promoting your own software, service, or product when nobody asked. That includes linking out to your tool, your service, or your content when the post is really an advert. Off-topic posts get removed too, so a post about something unrelated to HubSpot, marketing, or sales does not belong here. Personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech break the first rule and will get you in trouble. The moderators state plainly that they remove posts that are disrespectful, off-topic, or contain unsolicited self-promotion and spam.

Common questions about r/hubspot
Can I write about a marketing tactic I used?
Yes, if the whole post is about HubSpot or general marketing and sales practices, and the value lives in the post itself rather than in a link.
Can I link to a blog post I wrote?
No. The rules say to put the educational content directly in your post or comment instead of linking out.
Can I ask a basic HubSpot question?
Yes. “Stay On-Topic” covers general marketing and sales practices, so a HubSpot question is always welcome.
What if someone asks what tool I use?
Only if someone specifically asks you for it. The survival tip is to share product or service links only when requested.
