- **DR:** 71
- **Pricing:** Freemium

## Quick verdict

Side-project marketplace — DR 71, free tier with paid upgrade options. Worth it to list, sell, or showcase projects; skip if you only want a pure launch-day upvote feed.

**Best for:** Indie makers listing side projects for sale, partnership, or exposure · Founders who want marketplace discovery plus Strong links at DR 71

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Free listings typically publish within a few days. Paid featured tiers may expedite visibility on category pages.
- **Review:** Moderated for spam and low-quality listings. Must describe a real project with verifiable URL.
- **Common rejections:** Placeholder pages, duplicate listings, scammy acquisition pitches, or products with no clear side-project angle.
- **Reputation:** Marketplace framing confuses founders expecting Product Hunt-style launch days — set listing type correctly.

## Pros

- DR 71 domain with Medium referral traffic and Strong backlink rating
- Freemium path — free basic listing for side projects
- Dual use: showcase for launches or list for acquisition
- Niche audience of indie buyers and builders

## Cons

- Marketplace focus — less launch-day spike than dedicated launchpads
- Freemium featured placement costs extra for homepage visibility
- Not ideal for enterprise B2B without indie or side-project positioning
- Listing quality varies — buyers filter heavily on revenue and traction data

## What you need before you submit

- Project name, URL, and clear description of what you built
- Screenshots and logo for the listing page
- Listing intent: showcase, for sale, or seeking co-founder
- Optional metrics (MRR, users) if selling — honesty matters
- Pricing expectation if listing is for acquisition

**Gotchas:**

- Choose listing type carefully — “for sale” attracts buyer inquiries you must respond to
- Free tier may have limited featured placement — check current pricing
- Not a substitute for Product Hunt — stack alongside launch platforms

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** SideProjectors account — register at sideprojectors.com and create a new project listing.
- **Categories:** Pick marketplace category (SaaS, app, content site, etc.). Side projects and indie tools fit best.
- **Anchor text:** Project title linking to your product URL on the SideProjectors listing page.
- **Link placement:** Dedicated marketplace listing page — crawlable profile, not a daily upvote feed.
