Can you promote in r/emailmarketing?

Cautious: promotion is tolerated only in context — answer the question first, disclose your affiliation, and never lead with a link.

r/emailmarketing is a practitioner-focused community obsessed with deliverability, metrics, and platform tactics. Members are unafraid to ask basics but expect you to show your work and share real numbers. Self-promotion is tolerated only when framed as a learning opportunity or case study, and the community rewards tactical specificity and honest problem-solving over generic advice.

• DO share real metrics and concrete examples (open rates, CTR, list size)
• DO ask specific questions tied to a problem or decision
• DO reference platforms/tools by name and describe your setup
• DO admit you're new or uncertain; the community is forgiving of knowledge gaps
• DON'T promote a tool/service without genuine community engagement first
• DON'T post vague strategy questions without context on your business type or list size
• DON'T focus solely on open rates without discussing engagement or downstream metrics
• DON'T self-promote without framing it as feedback-seeking or a genuine case study
