Rule summary

  • NO bullying: This is a place to safely promote products. It's not a place to air grievances or critiques.
  • Irrelevant content: Again this sub is for posting Products & Services. Content irrelevant to this sub will be moderated and repeat offenses will result in a ban going forward.
  • No sexual harassment: Pretty self explanatory but don't say anything you wouldn't say to your mother.
  • No nsfw images or links: This isn't the place to advertise your OF. Plenty of other subs exist for that and we want to keep this one SFW.
  • No Soap: No Soap
  • No spam: Posting your product more than once or twice is allowed however at the discretion of the mod team if we feel like you're spamming, you may receive a temporary ban.

Works well

  • A launch post that names your product, explains in one or two sentences what it does, and links to your site.
  • A service offer post that clearly states what you do, who it is for, and how someone can get in touch.
  • An update post a few weeks after your first one, sharing a new feature or milestone instead of the same pitch.
  • A simple product showcase with a clean safe for work screenshot and a short description of the problem it solves.
  • A reply to another founder's post that stays friendly and helpful, since the rules protect posters from bullying and harassment.

Avoid

  • Posting anything that is not a product or a service, because “Irrelevant content” gets moderated and repeat offenses lead to a ban.
  • Sharing nsfw images or links, which the “No nsfw images or links” rule removes outright.
  • Reposting your product over and over until the mod team calls it spam, which can earn a temporary ban under “No spam”.
  • Using the sub to attack or critique someone else's product, which breaks “NO bullying”.
  • Writing comments you would not say to your mother, which trips “No sexual harassment”.
  • Posting soap, which is banned under “No Soap”.

What r/Plugyourproduct Is For

This community exists for one simple job, giving people a place to post and find products and services. The description says it plainly, your new place to post and or find products and services. That means the people posting here are founders, makers, and marketers who want to show what they built, and the people reading are hunting for tools and services they might use. It is one of the few spots on Reddit where promoting your own thing is the entire point, so you do not have to dress your post up as a story or a question. What you cannot do is treat it as a general feed, because the rules say content has to be relevant to products and services or it gets moderated.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rules here are short and they all point the same way. “Irrelevant content” is the big one, because the sub is only for products and services and anything else gets moderated, with repeat offenses leading to a ban. “No spam” matters too, since posting your product more than once or twice is allowed but the mod team can hand out a temporary ban if they feel you are spamming. “No nsfw images or links” keeps the whole place safe for work, so every image and link you share has to be clean. “NO bullying” protects the posters, meaning you cannot use this sub to air grievances or critiques about other people's products. “No sexual harassment” sets the tone for comments, and the rule itself says do not say anything you would not say to your mother. Then there is “No Soap”, which is exactly what it sounds like and needs no explanation.

What To Post

A good post here is a clear, honest introduction to one product or service. Say what it does, who it helps, and include a safe for work link so people can check it out. Since promotion is allowed and expected, you can be direct about the fact that you made it, which builds more trust than pretending you stumbled on it. Keep the tone friendly and skip any criticism of competitors, because this is not the place for critiques. If you want to post again later, space it out and bring something new each time, like an update or a new feature, so the mods never see it as spam.

What To Avoid

The fastest way to get removed here is posting something that is not a product or a service, because irrelevant content gets moderated and repeat offenses get you banned. Spamming is the second trap, you can post your product once or twice, but if the mod team feels you are overdoing it you can get a temporary ban. Keep every image and link safe for work, since nsfw content is not welcome. Do not use the sub to criticize or complain about other products or people, that is bullying and it is banned. Keep your comments civil, the rule about harassment says do not say anything you would not say to your mother. And do not post soap.
