Self-Promotion Guidelines on Stocktwits
How much promotion is allowed on Stocktwits, the limits for new accounts, and how to share your work without being flagged as spam.
Community Guidelines
Creators, analysts, and businesses are welcome on Stocktwits — as long as they add value to the conversation. These guidelines explain how to share your work without crossing into spam.
The 10% rule
Promotional content — posts about your own products, services, newsletters, or paid offerings — should make up no more than 10% of your posts. The other 90% should be genuine contributions: ideas, analysis, questions, and conversation.
New accounts
New users face additional restrictions on promotional ticker tagging during their first 50 posts. Build a track record in the community first.
Not allowed
Repetitive or identical promotional messages
Tagging tickers that aren't related to your promotion
Using likes, follows, or replies primarily to promote yourself
Gated links that require a sign-up, login, or payment to view
Recruiting to Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, or other private groups
Doing it right
Share free, publicly accessible insights that stand on their own.
Be transparent about your affiliation when you mention your own product or service.
Engage with replies — two-way conversation builds trust faster than links.
