strict — no promo (3/10) · tone: Pragmatic and tactical—people ask specific, implementation-focused questions and share battle-tested strategies without fluff.

Can you promote in r/leadgeneration?

Strict: this community removes promotional content on sight. Contribute value only; pitching here risks removal and a subreddit ban.

r/leadgeneration is a results-oriented, practitioner-heavy community focused on the mechanics of acquiring qualified leads across channels (Meta, LinkedIn, events, outreach). Members reward detailed how-tos and niche-specific tactics; self-promotion and vague questions are actively discouraged. Mods enforce a hard boundary: discussion and strategy stay here; selling leads, services, or tools goes to the marketplace sub.

• DO ask specific, tactical questions about channels, platforms, or niches
• DO share detailed case studies, guides, or step-by-step frameworks
• DO discuss lead quality, filtering, and qualification mechanics
• DO reference real platforms (Meta, LinkedIn, events) and recent changes
• DON'T pitch your agency, software, or services on the main sub—use r/LeadGenMarketplace
• DON'T ask vague questions without context (niche, budget, experience level)
• DON'T post generic advice without evidence or case studies
• DON'T promote lead lists, hiring, or service offers in discussion posts

What this community complains about

Recurring pain points in recent threads — each one is a conversation your product might belong in:

• Filtering and qualifying leads to avoid wasted outreach
• Platform-specific strategy (Meta, LinkedIn, local events)
• Scaling outreach without getting low-quality or duplicate leads
• Transitioning between niches or geographies (e-comm to local, US vs UK/India)
• Sustaining cold outreach at scale without burnout
