i’m curious what kind of posts work best for marketing on reddit, since most promotional stuff gets removed pretty fast.
 
Don't pitch—just share useful stuff that fits the sub, and drop your link only when someone asks. Be a regular commenter first, then post sparingly with genuine value. Basically, act like a human, not a spam bot.
 
I use my own subreddits.

I rarely touch subs of other people.

There's far too many politics in reddit and moderation today.

Promotional gets removed fast because you can't directly promote on reddit, you have to be really sneakey about it.
Good way of doing promotion is to create fake question on sub with your alt account then answer with your main accs with your own promotional information. That way you appear "helpful".
The account that posts the post must look natural and post has to be within context of the subreddit. Otherwise mods will immediately remove it and report you.
 
aged accounts with history really help. fresh accs get flagged immediately. best thing is spend time actually engaging in the subs first, build karma and make real comments. then when you post stuff it doesn't look as suspicious to reddit algorithms
 
Never post raw affiliate or sales links directly in the submission. The best approach is value-first text posts—share a problem you solved, a step-by-step breakdown, or a useful discussion. If the content is genuinely good, people will naturally check your profile or ask for details in the comments.
 
I had the same issue after the big ban wave. Now I’m starting with fresh accounts, keeping them focused on one niche, building proper activity and consistent engagement before promoting anything. I’m not relying on aged or high-karma accounts, just building everything naturally from scratch
 
I would say there are two steps you have to take. Some subreddits are strict about promotional content, so the first step is finding the right subreddits where you'll actually be able to post. The second step is making sure your account is aged and warmed up enough to make those kinds of posts or comments.

If you can get experience doing both of those, you'll have a much easier time promoting your content on Reddit.
 
Value-first posts w/ zero direct promo work best, genuinely answer someone's question or share a case study w/o linkin anything, let ppl DM YOU or find yer profile organically

I’ve been banned and received warnings on multiple occasions simply because the mod team was fighting among themselves, and I happened to tell one of the mods, “I’m with you.” :D

Been banned several times before. The big part of it is not treating Reddit like an ad platform. The posts that tend to survive are genuinely useful discussions, guides, case studies, or personal experiences where the promotion is secondary. Recently, I have focused on contributing consistently in a few relevant subreddits, understanding each community’s rules, and only mentioning my site and products when it directly answers someone’s question. But I would advise you to build a bit of account credibility first, as that also helps.

Did you rebuild on new IP addresses / VPNs? Or were you able to do this on your existing IP addresses that had permanent bans already?
 
I’ve noticed that many people ask questions and then use another account to respond by suggesting links that contain the information needed to answer those questions. This is a fairly common approach.
 
I’ve found that posting a trivial comment first and then editing it later significantly increases the chances of the comment remaining live.
 
I’ve gotten better results from helpful comments than making a whole promo post. Find someone already asking about the problem you solve, answer them properly, then mention your thing if it’s allowed.
 
My opinion is that the safest way to go about this is by being an active part of the community answers to people is questions will be much better than marketing posts there are certain guidelines for each subreddit which i will definitely have to abide by.
