For the longest time, the forum didn't have any rules on self-promotion, because we did not attract "internet marketers." Unfortunately this has changed, and several members of late, especially of the PUA variety, has not been able to wait more than 50 posts before peddling their products.
RVF is not a vehicle to promote your business. If you have a business, you must go elsewhere to advertise it. ROK even has a budget mechanism for you to do so: http://www.returnofkings.com/sponsorships
Self-Promotion Rules:
1. You are not allowed, in any of your posts, to promote videos or sites you own or operate that have a commercial intent. Commercial intent is defined as offering products for sale, collecting emails for marketing purposes, or offering content that contains affiliate links. If your videos/sites do not have any commercial intent, your promotion will be judged on a case-by-case basis if it was relevant to the topic matter.
2. You are always free in your signature to link to external sites that don't have commercial intent (e.g. blogs, Twitter).
3. You are allowed one external link in your signature to a site with commercial intent if your reputation count is at least 30.
4. If you are a pillar of the community (> 100 rep), you may start a start a thread about your newest book release after clearing it with me to make sure it is appropriate.
5. Links to external sites must be in normal-sized font.
These rules allow those who give value to the forum and build trust to receive some value back in terms of business sales, and ensure that new members don't attempt to parasitize the membership. Even for marketers who follow the rules, I will still evaluate if they are building a false persona to make themselves look good in order to better sell their e-products.
