> Launch Llama directory submission tracker review — last reviewed 2026-08-25

- **Canonical:** https://tools.launchllama.co/tools/launch-directories/r-entrepreneur
- **Markdown twin:** https://tools.launchllama.co/directory-spokes/r-entrepreneur.md
- **Directory:** r/Entrepreneur (reddit.com)
- **Submit URL:** https://reddit.com
- **DR:** 95
- **Pricing:** Free
- **Category:** Community (#2 of 113 by DR in this category)
- **Referral traffic:** Very High
- **Backlink quality:** Weak
- **Link type:** Nofollow — reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur post links use nofollow — value is community referral traffic, not backlink SEO

## Quick verdict

General entrepreneurship community — DR 95, free to submit. Worth it with authentic posts and comment engagement; skip if you want a permanent directory backlink.

**Best for:** Founders sharing business lessons, milestones, or product demos · Builders willing to follow r/Entrepreneur rules and engage in comments

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Posts publish immediately unless AutoModerator filters them — manual mod review can take minutes to hours.
- **Review:** r/Entrepreneur moderators enforce self-promotion limits, account age, karma minimums, and community-specific posting rules.
- **Common rejections:** Low-karma accounts, bare link drops, repeated launch spam, posts violating self-promotion limits, or marketing copy without founder context.
- **Reputation:** r/Entrepreneur is heavily moderated — lurk and comment before posting product links.

## Pros

- DR 95 domain with very high community referral traffic on posts that gain traction
- Free — no paid listing or editorial queue
- General entrepreneurship community audience aligned with your launch goals
- Comment threads surface feedback, positioning gaps, and early users

## Cons

- Backlink quality rated Weak — Reddit links are nofollow, not SEO
- Not a directory — no permanent listing page on your product
- Moderation removes off-topic promo — wasted effort if rules ignored
- Account karma and age gates block brand-new marketing accounts

## What you need before you submit

- Reddit account meeting r/Entrepreneur karma and age requirements
- Read r/Entrepreneur sidebar rules, flair requirements, and promo day schedules
- Text post with context — what you built, why, and what feedback you want
- Working demo link and screenshots embedded in post body
- 2–4 hours blocked to reply authentically to every comment

**Gotchas:**

- r/Entrepreneur ≠ r/entrepreneurship — different communities with different size and rules
- Cross-posting identical copy to multiple subs in one hour triggers spam filters
- Lead with story or lesson — bare “check out my startup” titles get downvoted

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Reddit account — create a text or link post at reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/submit after meeting subreddit requirements.
- **Categories:** Post must fit entrepreneurship topics — business building, founder questions, milestones; read flair rules before submitting.
- **Anchor text:** Post title and optional body link; outbound URLs use Reddit redirect wrappers with nofollow.
- **Link placement:** Ephemeral subreddit feed post — sinks within hours; not indexed as a product directory page.

## FAQ

### Is r/Entrepreneur a product directory?

No — it is a Reddit community for entrepreneur discussion. You publish a post, not a permanent directory listing.

No — Reddit uses nofollow on outbound links. Value is community traffic and feedback, not SEO.

r/Entrepreneur is larger and broader. r/entrepreneurship is a smaller community with its own sidebar rules — check both before posting.

### What karma do I need to post in r/Entrepreneur?

Check current sidebar rules — requirements change. Lurk and comment genuinely before posting product links.
