Sub Rules and Clarifications - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

Pinned

Lately we have gotten a lot of posts that have been removed due to rule violations. I realize that sidebar rules are not the easiest thing to see, so I thought an announcement post will help.

What You Cannot Do

  • Post a link to a service / blog / video / or website. If you are posting your ecommerce website asking for a site review or need to link to a specific example of a site aspect or issue, this is allowed and encouraged. If you are commenting and a link would provide a direct answer or help then you are free to provide the link.

  • Solicit in any way, even if free. This means offering your services or asking for direct or private messages with offers of help.

  • Offer your ecommerce site for sale.

  • Resell or even give away ecommerce courses.

  • Post an unsolicited AMA (ask me anything) without first consulting the mods with appropriate proof that you are who / what you claim to be.

  • Do not repost from other subs.

What You Can Do

  • Post your site for review or feedback (linking to your site is allowed in this situation).

  • Put a link in your post that shows a specific example of your question or issue.

  • Post a poll if it is for education or research purposes and not affiliated with a company or service.

  • Be polite and helpful at all times. All of us started somewhere and there are no stupid questions.

Not Against The Rules, But Likely Won't Get Much Response

  • Any type of "Top 5 Ways You Can - blah - blah - blah" list that is an obvious blog repost.

  • Asking what products you should sell.

  • Asking another user how much money they / their site makes or what they sell. If they want to tell you, then they can volunteer that information.

  • Low efforts posts that are too generalized and not addressing a specific question or issue, such as "What do you guys think of my site?", then just leaving it at that.

These rules are strictly enforced by mods in an effort to keep the sub as spam free as possible. We welcome all experience levels and encourage your questions and answers. This is not the place to promote yourself, your company, or your service, but it is the place to get help from others on how to help make your store successful.

EDIT - Always let mods know how we can make the sub better or tweak / improve the sub rules.
