How to show up here without getting banned

• Help first, mention later. Answer questions on r/AmazonSeller for a while before you bring up your own product, and when you do, say you made it.
• Use the Community Promo Post. It's where the rules quoted above send promotion.
• Be careful with links. The rules are specific: “No affiliate links - Even in the Community Promotional Post they will be marked as spam and removed.”
• Warm up your account first. New accounts get filtered: “Account age, visible prior account activity, an account comment karma rating which is at least few points in the positive, and prior positive participation in the comments of this…”
• Say it's yours. The rules ask you to be upfront: “Disclose any affiliations.”
• Make each post count. r/AmazonSeller is quiet (about 2.4 new posts a day), so a post stays near the top for days and regulars notice who shows up.
