Regularly promoting my projects is probably the number one challenge I face with my work. I've also seen it with many others. The issue is often addressed with long "places to post your startup"-list posts. These lists are great, for backlinks and Google, but not so nice to work with:
Quality declines with age: Sites change or close submissions and the content never gets updated.
These are often more a list of links than an actual help to get the post done smoothly.
Over a glass of Georgian wine I've decided to make a newsletter to address this: Where To Post was born! It's a newsletter with bite-sized marketing challenges anyone can finish in a few minutes! The goal is to give you a handover just providing a link to a site without any context.
Some examples can be found here: ”How to launch on ProductHunt?” or “Promoting your Project on Reddit” :)
To find out if anyone is interested I’ve posted it on ProductHunt today:

Any support and feedback are highly appreciated!
Cheers!
Nice idea, just subscribed wouldn't mind getting some tips
Awesome! Welcome on board!
neat idea!
love for your thoughts on this... i've discovered that promotion isn't that hard... but, real follow-up and relationship-building is.
fire-and-forget "growth hacking" isn't my style... at least.
what do you think is missing from the relationship-building loop when it comes to marketing?
Hey,
yeah, you are absolutely right that relationships are key. The idea behind the newsletter is to guide with technical stuff as well as slightly pushing towards more relationship building. As mentioned in the examples, "drop your link and go" won't work in most cases. The question is really how make it work for both sides. What do you think?

Upvoted your PH campaign
Would be awesome to hear how can I improve mine, cheers :)
Hey Felix,
have you promote the PH launch else where? I would also work on your first comment - that's often key to driving attention to it :) Let me know if you got more questions :)
