Is it okay to promote my Fiverr Gig for writing?

The Advertising and Promotion guideline says

"If you have something to promote – e.g. a new book, a new reading device, or other item relevant to mobile reading, then you may announce it, and respond to questions, in the Self-Promotions forum. Please read and follow the additional Promotion Posting Guidelines."

A writing service isn't relevant to "mobile reading", so please don't promote your Fiverrr Gig in a post on MobileRead.

Thank you for asking.

On the other hand, the Avatar, Images and Signatures guideline says

"Advertisement and promotion unrelated to eBook and mobile reading in a signature must be limited to only one line of non-bold default size text."

So you may promote your Fiverr Gig in your signature. The signature feature will become available to you after some combination of time and posts at MobileRead.

Thank you for letting me know. What's the specific post count I need to have a signature?

I don't know. And I think there's some kind of time element too.

See here, I guess that answer is still valid. Some of us have signature display disabled, so we won't see it anyway

Another thing to note --- maybe it is only me, but when I am not logged in, I do not see any signatures.

So keep that in mind also.
