Best places to list your start up? 📍

We launched on twitter,reddit,linkedin & Product Hunt in the mentioned order

1)Twitter- Be consistent & use the hashtag #buidinpublic to showcase your product
2)Reddit- Most subreddits have strict no self promotion rules, add value along with sharing your product
3)Linkedin-Mostly your network will help amplify
4)Product Hunt- Build up audience for the launch & get ready to fly

I think Twitter, Reddit and Linkedin are great as other people have mentioned. But it's very easy to be drowned out with all the other content.

I recommend using tools like AppSumo, SetApp and other similar marketplaces since that could help you reach a more focussed audience that is willing to pay for the product.

Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Product Hunt, and some other smaller websites!

I'm literally working on this RIGHT NOW. I scraped 400 sites, will post all the research ASAP. You can sign up to be notified as soon as it's ready;

Indiehacker,Producthunt and SaaS hub

Twitter, ProductHunt, G2, CapTerra, GetApp, Reddit channels, Linkedin groups.

That's what's worked for us.

Made this article about this:

Remember to signup on OpenMoo.com our own homebrewed site. You get a free dofollow backlink to boost your domain rating ;)

That's a very valid problem.

if you are building AI products, we curated over 100 free sites to list your product.

check it out at https://webdirectorycenter.com/

For AI products - thereisaiforthat and futurepedia.

I also had some relevant posts with data on my twitter. And a useful Google sheet link to the 80+ where you can list products.

I am currently working on our new website LogoMakerr.AI (https://logomakerr.ai/). It's an AI-powered logo design maker that generates unique logo designs in less than 5 minutes.

Here are some of the platforms that helped us launch our startup. You can consider these several websites to list your startup.

AngelList: Connect with investors and professionals in the startup ecosystem.

Product Hunt: Showcase and promote your tech product or service to a community of early adopters.

Crunchbase: Create a profile to share your startup information and attract investors and industry professionals.

BetaList: Generate interest and gather feedback for your pre-launch startup.

LinkedIn: Leverage personal and company profiles to network with professionals and share updates.

Reddit's r/startups: Engage with a startup community, participate in discussions, and seek feedback.

Startuplister: Save time by using their submission service to list your startup across multiple platforms.

To list your startup and boost visibility:

Product Hunt: Show your product to early adopters and tech enthusiasts.
Crunchbase: Create a profile for credibility and industry visibility.
AngelList: Connect with investors and showcase your startup.
Startup Directories: Get discovered by users searching for new products.
Social Media Platforms: Utilize LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to engage with your audience.
Industry-specific Directories and Communities: Connect with targeted audiences and gain exposure.

my fav from best to least
~ seo*
~ product that can go viral*
~ actually good product (low churn rate!)
~ UGC (worked very well to gohighlevel...)
~ (my)social media
~ social shorts (TikTok's, reels, shorts)
~ (want to create) an affiliate program
~ relevant communities

I think the most important learning for me was that it's not about where you paste your startup. It's about where your people are, are building a community around them. By the time you're ready to launch, you've built credibility and people are interested in getting to know your startup.

One post that really helped me in this journey was about the white hot center.

Tldr:

• Every company has a group of users that are core to them and bring in more customers
• That center grows your business and gives you momentum, doing a lot of the marketing, input, etc for you.

Highly worth a read.

Twitter, reddit, LinkedIn, Quora. I think the key is to write posts that are engaging and pull people in. Maybe thats being a little clickbaity or sensationalist but if your idea & product is good, people will resonate.

Places that worked for me:

futurepedia, futuretools, aivalley, theresanaiforthat

You could reach out to people through
social media groups
cold emails on LinkedIn

The best for me are

• Facebook Group where your targe audiences are
• PH
• Indie Hackers
• Cold Outreach on Linkedin

Something pretty cool I came across was PathFinder, a start-up where they have curated videos and online courses for anyone to upskill on UI/UX and other relevant topics - http://thepathfinderproject.co.uk

As you go along the path you even create projects alongside the community to make yourself more recruitable or just enjoy learning something new!

HN would be great, but competition for upvotes is harsh there. And you should always remember that there are mostly engineers, so they want to see something interesting, maybe even some article could help boost it.

Betalist is also a nice one.

And Twitter can help you boost through the community I guess.

I'm also planning to use these things as channels and try to get some boost on HN through some article that is related to my product and topic.

just browse product hunt, reddit, hn, ih and you will genuinely stumble upon new relevant places to submit your startup to.

For launching an AI tool, I've just made a free website with a list of AI directories to submit the AI tool called aisubmittoollist, it's a dotcom site, might it can help you to reach more audience

I would say Product Hunt for the launch, post in Reddit communities related to your niche but do it in a way that doesn't come off as an advertisement. Create a Twitter account if you don't already have one, build an audience by providing value, tweet about your software and the problem it solves, use relevant hashtags and interact with competitors' users' tweets

I curated a list of 500+ places to post your startup - and also wrote a playbook to help founders better leverage all these acquisition channels.

You can find it here: https://userbooster.co

Did you already launch on Product Hunt or submit it to the „classics“ such as Betalist or HN?

Over the years of building apps, I've bookmarked places where we can share and launch products. Product Hunt launch is usually the primary focus but it does not hurt to promote it other places

So I've listed them here https://indiegoodies.com/awesome-launch with taggings. It has helped me a ton when I launched my projects. Hope you find it useful

Recently I came across a post here that mentioned 500+ places to list your startup.

I didn’t use it but you may want to check it out: https://fringe-rotate-0b1.notion.site/500-places-to-promote-your-startup-ff3b013f710d4d37b9ba65fd9d1313f8

HN or Reddit

You can submit your startup at SaaSBaba

Agree, this is something we have been fighting with. Wrote to several resources to get featured in articles - no response or polite "no".

I only placed it on Twitter & ProductHunt and I reached 40$ MRR in the first month.
if you have Twitter followers, I think it's the right place to start.
