Where should you promote a startup first?

Prioritize three to five places where your ideal customers already look for products: one launch community, one category-specific directory, one review platform, and one community where you can contribute before sharing. A relevant profile and a measured referral visit are more useful than dozens of indiscriminate submissions.

  1. 1. Prepare once

    Write a short description, a longer pitch, screenshots, logo, pricing, and founder details.

  2. 2. Submit in batches

    Choose a small relevant group, confirm each current submission policy, then personalize the pitch.

  3. 3. Measure quality

    Tag links with UTMs and compare qualified visits, signups, and customers—not just backlink counts.

Submission rules and prices change, so verify them on the destination site before investing time or money.
