What its rules say about promotion
Self-promo must be earned
You CAN link to your content, but only if you provide equivalent value to the community. Share what's working/flopping for you, show your hidden stats and numbers for reference, or otherwise contribute tips or info in some way. If you're only here to ask for likes and follows, that's spam and will be removed.
Help others help you
If you want great answers, ask great questions. Make your question specific, link to your content, share any relevant numbers, explain what you've tried so far, and provide any other contextual info. Poorly asked questions will be removed, or you'll just end up getting no/weak engagement.
Don't promote illegal activities
Exploring the boundaries of a platform's recommendations is one thing, but something like promoting the purchase of likes and followers is straight up against FTC rules (and the equivalent in many other countries).
