Read and document each subreddit's rules

Reading and documenting each subreddit's real rules is essential groundwork — Reddit communities have genuinely strict, community-specific rules about self-promotion, and violating them gets you banned quickly.

Every subreddit has its own real rules, often strict about promotional content — violating them, even unknowingly, results in real bans that end your presence in that community entirely.

How to do it

1. 1
   Read the actual rules for each of your 10 target subreddits

   Real, careful reading, not skimming.
2. 2
   Document the genuine self-promotion policy specifically

   Some allow it under specific conditions, many prohibit it entirely.
3. 3
   Note any other real, subreddit-specific requirements

   Format requirements, flair rules, posting frequency limits.
