Hey HN!

I'm excited to share a project that's been a labor of love over the past few years. As someone who’s launched 10 products in the last year alone, I know the struggle of getting your startup the attention it deserves. It's like having a treasure, but not knowing where to show it off!

So, I took matters into my own hands and created a curated guide to help fellow entrepreneurs and makers. It’s a comprehensive list of sites, directories, and marketing strategies that I’ve found incredibly effective for showcasing and promoting startups.

Why did I make this? Well, I realized that while we have incredible products, sometimes we just don't know the right places or strategies to get them in front of the right eyes. I wanted to create a go-to resource that not only lists the platforms but also provides practical tips on how to best leverage them.

It’s all about boosting your traffic, increasing your visibility, and making sure your startup shines like it should!

I’d love for you to check it out and share your thoughts. Have you used any of these platforms before? Do you have any secret weapons of your own? Let’s chat and share our experiences!

Cheers to making our startup journeys a bit smoother and more successful!

It might be counter intuitive but using general purpose directories like ProductHunt or similar to showcase your project is likely just showing off to off-target, extreme churn, user base with high potential to becoming competitors.

In my opinion, the best and only place you should showcase your product is where your actual target customers are!

The best site in my opinion is Product Hunt. I look for new start ups here everyday. Also if you want to innovate a good strategy (if you already have a monetizable product) is to do an affiliate campaign where you should: -Define buyer persona -Find the affiliate leads -Analyze which keywords are the more high intend -Extract the leads of this blogs/web pages -Launch an email campaign via GMASS -Create the landing pages where you want the affiliates to redirect their traffic

If you are interested in this channel or any new growth channel, respond to it and I would gladly help you

This may be a helpful list but it isn't a valid Show HN; please see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.

Aren't you missing LinkedIn on your list? We get way more views on LinkedIn than on relevant Reddit communities for instance (we are a robotics SaaS startup).
