r/marketingautomation: rules, promo tolerance & best time to post
cautious (6/10) · tone: Practical and results-focused, mixing tactical shop talk with genuine curiosity about tools and methods; occasionally candid about hustle realities.
Can you promote in r/marketingautomation?
Cautious: promotion is tolerated only in context — answer the question first, disclose your affiliation, and never lead with a link.
This is a pragmatic builder community focused on *results and execution*—case studies with revenue impact and technical problem-solving rank highest. Self-promotion is tolerated if it's transparent and adds value (founder disclosures, expert AMAs, legitimate hiring). The community rewards specificity and vulnerability over polish, but low-effort spam and duplicate requests get filtered. Lurk for recurring tool debates (n8n, Marketo, CRM adoption) and cost-sensitivity among SMBs/nonprofits.
- DO lead with results/data if promoting your work—founders disclose, show ROI
- DO ask genuine troubleshooting or opinion questions
- DO share tactical insights without a hard sell
- DON'T spam job postings or services without context
- DON'T post low-effort promotional content or duplicate survey requests
- DON'T ignore mod removals—some self-promo/spam does get caught
