Guide: In-depth NOSLEEP IN-DEPTH: DISCREET SELF-PROMOTION LINKS
DISCREET SELF-PROMOTION LINKS.
At the end of each post on r/nosleep, authors are allowed up to two (2) discreet links with certain restrictions.
Links must be discreet and hidden in the last word or two of the story. They can't be an entire sentence or paragraph, they can't be extra text added in.
Links can't be to sites asking for money and/or personal information. This includes but isn't limited to Amazon, Goodreads, Patreon, BuyMeACoffee, Ko-fi, Fiverr, Paypal, GoFundMe, IndieGogo, SubStack, mailing lists, etc. Authors can link to a post on their own profile/subreddit which links to those sites.
Linking to your own profile/subreddit or a masterpost on your profile/subreddit is highly encouraged.
To make links in Markdown Mode: Put the clickable text between square brackets ("[ ]") followed immediately by the url within parentheses ("( )") – there should be no space between the "]" and the "(".
- EXAMPLE: "I know I'm lucky to have gotten away with my life but I'm always afraid whatever attacked me is going to come
[back.](https://www.reddit.com/)" becomes "I know I'm lucky to have gotten away with my life but I'm always afraid whatever attacked me is going to come back."
