What this page is
This page quotes r/copywriting's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-09-26. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/copywriting's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about promotion
No bilking, scamming, spamming, or profiteering.
This isn't a marketing channel. A wee bit of self-promotion is fine, so long as it's a free & helpful resource. If links lead to a paid or lead gen effort, it must be disclosed or the post will be removed. If the post is all pitch and no value, it will be removed.
No undisclosed or unsolicited links
Links are fine, but you must disclose whether payment or email signup is necessary to access information (even if free). Posts or comments that exist only to shill a product or service (e.g., a GPT-3 AI copywriting tool) will be removed and the user will be banned. Affiliate links will be removed and the user banned. Linking a free or paid service in response to someone's question or a request is ok.
Job ads are fine. Pitching your copy services is not.
It is ok to make a post about hiring. It is not ok to make a post advertising your copywriting services.

No links to AI copywriting tools, no product reviews, no beta tests. Instant ban for anyone who posts this stuff. Only discussion is allowed. - Don't be a dick.
This is a tough space for working professionals and it will feature lots of controversial topics. You're allowed to have opinions and be assertive. Arguing, tough feedback, and strong disagreements are fine. .. AS LONG AS IT IS CIVIL. *Unwarranted* name-calling and flagrant rudeness are not ok. If you're constantly rude you'll be warned and then banned. - Personal Income Claims or Promises Require Verification
Any post making a claim about personal income or revenue generated needs to provide credible proof or back up in the post or privately to the mods of the sub. Posts won't be removed, but mods will comment about whether verification has been requested and/or provided. - Job ads are fine. Pitching your copy services is not.
It is ok to make a post about hiring. It is not ok to make a post advertising your copywriting services.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
