What the rules on shameless self promotion?

[MrDrizz]

How's it going?

So I've just had my Analogue Photography Field notebook published on Amazon and was wondering what are the rules on my posting a link to it?

Thanks.

Looks like you just did a bit of shameless self promotion

My thought too about the photopoetry book, in aid of a charity, that my brother, the poet, and I produced and has now been published.

This is true but I didn't post a link to buy it

Which is what I should have asked.

We have a charity related thread.

We have been having a bit of chinwag over cookies and coffee in the staff room after receiving requests for permission to post charitable donation links and come up with the idea of a thread for these type of links. Many of our members or their family/friends are taking part in events like...

We have a member that pays to advertise their books, it wouldn't be fair on them if you were allowed to do it for free.

@Cobra thanks for leading me to that thread, not one I'd spotted before. Have added the info and link to our book.

Would the same thread apply if I wanted to "sell" a camera, where the price would be a donation to a specific charity (evidenced by a receipt)? I'd assumed it would be via the normal sales threads, but I had a niggling doubt in my mind! The camera I have in mind was given to me, but doesn't suit me well (works a treat within it's design limitations, though).

@ChrisR you are correct, normal photographic sales forum/thread for that. The charity thread is for eg where people are doing something explicitly to raise money for a charitable cause

Plus I think you would get more response in a sales thread, just mention that all the proceeds are going to charity.
Or, depending on the value, maybe the freebie section, with a please make a donation to a charity specified or other wise.
