# r/msp self-promotion norms and what members ask

r/msp is a resource for IT managed service providers, and its threads read like a working session between operators: which RMM or PSA to switch to, how to tier security for different clients, what to document, how to grow recurring revenue from existing customers. Vendor names come up constantly, often in detailed comparison write-ups, so tool makers in this market are discussed whether they post or not. A directory snapshot shows a recurring Weekly Promo and Webinar Thread, which points to promotion having a scheduled home, and a popular post that advertises having no links and no pitch, a sign of how vendor content is received. For a vendor, answer the operational question in detail, identify yourself, and keep promotion in the weekly thread.

## Reported self-promotion norms

Reported by GummySearch: r/msp subreddit page (static snapshot; GummySearch closed 2025-11-30), not confirmed by a second source: GummySearch's snapshot shows a recurring 'Weekly Promo and Webinar Thread', which suggests promotion is channelled into a scheduled thread, and a popular post whose title stresses it has no links and no pitch, a sign that promotional vendor content is viewed sceptically. It lists no rule text, so whether vendors must identify themselves, limits outside the thread and any karma or account-age gate are unknown.
