1. Alphaandbetausers – The perfect subreddit to launch on – low expectations, multiple daily posts
2. indiebiz – For startups to offer and share, not a ton of activity but at least you’ll get backlinks
3. Linkbuilding – Another good place to trade links, and no ban on self promotion.
4. Micro Saas – Software as a Service businesses run by a very small team, perfect for launching a SaaS
5. Plugyourproduct – Promotion here is encouraged, but traffic is infrequent
6. Promotereddit – Meant for cross promoting other subreddits, so create a subreddit for your own Saas or App and then share it here
7. RoastMyStartup – Promotion here is encouraged, so perfect for launching here
8. SideProject – Self promotion is encouraged, and is very active
9. Smallbusiness – Promotion here is permitted, traffic is active
10. Software As a Service – Active subreddit where self promotion is allowed, if you are a SaaS then post here
11. Startup – This is a subreddit to bring people together and help startups get help with their business needs
12. Startups – “You MAY share your startup in the Monthly Share Your Startup thread”, very active and sharing is encouraged

More to come

If you’re thinking of building a Product Hunt clone, here’s a few things you should consider;

• You SHOULD NOT be charging money for companies to submit – if you have a waiting list and want to charge to expedite that’s fair trade, but charging before you’ve even launched looks ridiculous. Product Hunt doesn’t charge, how can anyone justify paying for your service. Don’t be this site Nextool, which hasn’t even launched yet.
• You SHOULD establish a social media presence on every platform available; Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Threads, whatever platform that is available.
• You SHOULD be cross promoting the products being submitted – when you use social media to announce a product launching, that product should be sharing their launch on their own social media, which in turn helps give your site exposure. It’s a no brainer to increase traffic to your own site.
• You SHOULD make your web traffic public – Maker Peak made their traffic public here. You should be too.
• You SHOULD have a blog to give updates on how often you are launching new sites.
• You SHOULD NOT reject submissions without an explanation – if you think a product is not appropriate for your site, that’s fin but for goodness sakes tell the companies that are submitting for consideration why you are not posting their company.

There’s room for competition in the launch game, but since you’re not the lead dog you’re going to have to put in a lot of effort to get noticed. Good luck with whatever you’re building, and reach out to us so we can add you to the Launch Point Zero directory.

It’s going to take some time. It should be ready by December 1, 2023. Here we go.

Some of these are obvious like Product Hunt and BetaList.

However there’s some what appears to be inaccurate data – for example the article lists Product School as a site “Ideal for educational tech products” but the title for the site is “Online Product Management Certification and live training – Product School”. This is not a launch site.

Also it has sites listed that no longer work – Random Startup was listed but returns “This site can’t be reached – Check if there is a typo in www.randomstartup.org.”

Source Forge is great if you are an open source self hosted app, but it’s not ideal for a Software as a Service or Mobile app.

However there are some good sites listed for games. We’re working on adding them.

PROS:

• It’s free to submit
• Submitting is easy
• It’s very consistent posting every day
• It has a newsletter that is sent everyday that shares the same content
• Has decent traffic, estimated 2,100 monthly visitors in October 2023

CONS:

• While its free the waiting list is now over 400 days long. However you can pay to expedite, $19 is not unreasonable.
• The site design is pretty spare, no images or screenshots

I recommend launching here. I’d even consider paying the $19 for expediting the listing since the wait is more than a year.
