Can I post a link to my store to get feedback on my products?
No. The rule "No links for reviews" says to post a screenshot or image instead, so you should share an image of your design rather than a link.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No spam: Seriously, don't just spam your PoD site. Make the content worth reading.
- No 'classes': Nobody here wants to see your PoD 'classes'.
- No short links: Shortened urls are not liked. Screenshots of merch are fine - and better appreciated.
- No links for reviews: Post a screenshot / image of things you are looking for people to help you with. If you want assistance with a design, just post an image.
Works well
- Post a screenshot of a design you are working on and ask the community for honest critique.
- Share a detailed story about a lesson you learned while running your print on demand store, with no store link attached.
- Ask a specific question about print on demand platforms or processes, using images to show what you mean.
- Post a screenshot of a product mockup and ask for opinions on the design before you launch it.
Avoid
- Do not spam your print on demand site link in posts or comments.
- Do not promote or sell any print on demand classes.
- Do not use shortened urls anywhere in your posts or comments.
- Do not post direct links when you want help with a design or a review.
What r/printondemand Is For
This community is for anyone who wants to talk about print on demand. You can discuss it, request help, or request critique on your work. The audience is people running print on demand stores or designs, and the focus is on conversation and feedback rather than promotion.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most are "No spam", "No 'classes'", "No short links", and "No links for reviews". These four rules cover almost every way a marketing post can go wrong here. If your post touches any of these areas, it will likely be removed.
What To Post
A good post here is one that starts a real conversation or asks for genuine feedback. If you want critique on a design, post a screenshot of it directly in your post. If you have learned something about print on demand that others might benefit from, write it up in a way that is worth reading. The rule "No spam" says to make the content worth reading, so focus on substance over self promotion.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that looks like spam, including pushing your print on demand site without adding value. Do not promote classes, since the rule "No 'classes'" is explicit about that. Do not use shortened urls, and do not post links when you want a design review. Instead, share screenshots or images.

Common questions about r/printondemand
Can I promote my print on demand course or class here?
No. The "No 'classes'" rule is clear that nobody there wants to see your print on demand classes.
Are shortened links allowed if they are easier to share?
No. The "No short links" rule says shortened urls are not liked, so use full urls or avoid links entirely.
What kind of content can I post as a founder?
You can talk about print on demand, request help, or request critique, as long as you follow the rules about spam, classes, short links, and review links.
