Posting your startup in r/SaaSMarketing
Yes. r/SaaSMarketing is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts that frame a genuine problem or bottleneck the founder is facing, often seeking advice or sharing lessons learned. The angle is vulnerability and specificity about a real challenge, not showcasing a finished product.
Self-promotion rules
You can mention your SaaS only if it's relevant, adds value, and genuinely helps readers—avoid direct sales pitches and unsolicited PMs. For blog posts, provide substantive ideas and context in the post body itself, with the link only at the end. Non-productive self-promotion will result in warnings and bans.

i shipped the product six months ago but still can't figure out how to get past 20 signups a month—what am i missing?
I've validated the core idea and have a handful of paying customers, but my growth has completely stalled. I think the problem isn't the product itself—it's that I have no idea which marketing channel is actually worth my time to focus on next.
