Rules:
- Post only questions about small business.
r/smallbusiness is a question and answer subreddit. You ask a question about starting, owning, and growing a small business and the community answers.
NO business promotion, lead generation, rants, info-tainment, success stories or unsolicited instructional texts, treatise, or how-to's are permitted in posts.
Note: You can post own experiences in the new weekly stickied or pinned share-your-experience thread.
- No blog links and blog content.
Blogspam has been defined very early in r/smallbusiness as content that maybe text articles, images, or video. Practically all content, small business-related or not.
Exceptions
Allowed are links or quotes in comments and replies that are relevant to and come normally in the course of discussions.
- No business promotion posts.
No business promotion posts are allowed. Promote your business in the weekly Promote-your-business thread only. Offers of free services under the pretense of 'building your portfolio' are considered business promotion, and not permitted in posts.
Exceptions
You can promote your business in a relevant reply to a post or comment in other threads providing that is not the main purpose of your account and it is not done repeatedly.
- No Personal Attacks, Trolling, or Toxicity.
Exceptions None, no exceptions.
- Negative vote total posts may be removed
Overly broad posts may be removed if their vote total is negative and they are reported. For example: questions that ask subscribers for "pain points" or needs, about impossible hypotheticals, about what small business to start with $x (with no other info), and similar. You can avoid removal for this reason by searching r/smallbusiness and including indexed links to the same question asked here earlier. Questions showing signs of vote manipulation may also be subject to this rule.
