    Hi Carlos,

    Great list!

    You should check out https://casuaris.co for more opportunities. It has more than 80 listings to post your service too.

    Cheers,
    Arjen

      Wow! I'll definitely give it a try (and include it on the list). Thanks Arjen!

      1. 1

        Hi,

        Cool, when you signup, please let me know. I'll make sure to link your account to the extra listings I found in your excel.

        Cheers,
        Arjen

        1. 1

          I'm in! Thanks for the extra links

          1. 1

            Allright, in the next content update, i'll add your references. Thanks again for the resources.

            How is your progress with your first 100?

  2. 2

    I know im jumping in here a year later, but just wanted to say thanks! Such a great list.

  3. 2

    Some additional websites to launch startups:

    • Curlie
    • BOTW

    I would probably add a column to your sheet in order to rate authority of each website. Ahrefs or Moz indicators (DR / DA) could be used for instance. Or if you have a good idea of the reputation of each site, something like "Strong", "Medium" and "Weak" could be useful.

    No matter what, great work!

    1. 1

      I'll definitely read more about those indicators. And thanks for the suggestions, I'll include them asap!

  4. 2

    Hey, thanks for your work.
    I'll start working on it now!

  5. 2

    Dude, you are doing a good deed. Such a helpful list. Bless you.

      Dope! I'll ad them up to my list. Thanx mate

      1. 1

        Super! Thanks 😊

  6. 2

    Thanks, this is a useful list!

    Stop launching and start selling. Launches are a one-time event. If you can’t consistently sell something. It’s worthless.

    Good idea, thanks for sharing! 👍 I bookmarked it and will add my time tracking app https://cronocloud.com ⏱️ soon (waiting for the English translation).

  20. 2

    Thanks for putting this together! Bookmarked

  21. 2

    Good selection, most of the familiar all resources)
    I still haven't figured out how to work on Angel List... All praise it, but I still do not understand what is there and how)

    1. 1

      same Kate! I'm very frustrated with AngelList... and probably is because I haven't given it enough time/thought to make it work for me

  22. 2

    Thank you for this. I've been working on an email service that I'd like to start sharing with people. This list will be incredibly helpful 👍

  23. 2

    This is timely as I am launching our beta.Thanks for sharing!

  24. 2

    Thanks for sharing. Posting another IH article that shares some more resources to post your project: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/relaunch-like-a-pro-100-places-to-launch-relaunch-and-list-your-product-7c67875635

    I'm really curious to know how your experience has been with some of these. Some listing places seem generic and I wonder if they get any results apart from backlinks to your site to build domain authority.

    Also, how are you navigating Reddit where any direct promotion is looked down upon.

    1. 1

      Impressive post of yours! Congrats. I'll go through it in detail and see if I can "launch" our product there, too.

      Regarding my experience with this list: as you well said, I mostly use it as part of my SEO / backlinking strategy. If, in the meanwhile, any of these sites happen to creat more engagement and better-quality traffic, be sure I'll double down on it (like IndieHackers, that's working better than expected). But I do think it's a 10K run, not a sprint.

      Same for Reddit: instead of direct promotion, I use their search bar to find real accounts with something to say in the niche I work in. Users are too smart to be pushed into using something the don't want/need.

  25. 2

    Thanks, I will put our product site there in mid of May.

  26. 2

    It's interesting that you mentioned Product Hunt. Because I started something to bring some insights about Product Hunt statsph.com. Hoping to launch on PH in the next 2 weeks

  27. 2

    Wow! Great resource, thank you so much.

  28. 2

    That's some list @untiroalaire, thank you for sharing! Did you use any of them?

    1. 2

      sure! Mixed results... but only myself to blame.
      I use this list as part of my SEO strategy: the more I pamper it, the finer I tune it... the better the results! Will tell you more in a month :-)

      1. 2

        gotcha, this would be interesting to hear! We've just started our app promotion. I'll try to add new resources to the list when I find them :)

  29. 1

    For persons interested in Vtubers, I created a MVP called VtuberDM which is online marketplace for requesting personalized video messages from Vtubers. Just like Cameo but exclusively for Vtubers.

    Hi all. Can you tell me which platforms proved to be the most successful for promoting the beta, rather than recruiting testers?

    1. 1

      Hi Viktoria, not sure how to answer that. Our mvp is a productivity tool so our North star metric is adding new beta testers to improve our product. PMF first, promotion later!

      1. 1

        Okay, I see your point.

        Thank you for your answer.
