## Is Launching Next worth it?

Worth a free submission for any new product, since it costs only a form and no account. Expect a long wait: after submitting, the site showed an estimated queue of 4 months. The free listing link was nofollow on the pages checked, so treat it as exposure and a brand mention, not an SEO boost. The $99 Fast-Track adds a dofollow link, a tweet and a newsletter mention, which suits a launch with a fixed date. Write a clear 5 to 8 word headline and a full description, since editors format the page by hand.

## Who should submit to Launching Next?

Suits founders of SaaS tools, apps, side projects and small startups who want one more permanent listing and some early adopter traffic. The site says it has featured over 45,000 startups and has 18,000+ newsletter subscribers. It does not suit anyone who needs a listing this week without paying, or who is only after dofollow links from free submissions.

## What you need before you submit

- Startup name and URL
- Headline of 5 to 8 words
- Description up to 2,500 characters
- 5 to 10 tags
- Your name and email (not published)
- No account needed

## How to submit

1. Open the submit page
2. Fill in the startup details, tags and stage
3. Add your name and email
4. Answer the simple math check and submit
5. On the next page choose to wait in the free queue or pay $99 for Fast-Track
6. Wait for an email when the startup is published

## Pros

- No account or badge needed
- Human curated, so the directory is not flooded
- Long running site, live since 2013
- Permanent listing page with tags and gallery

## Cons

- Free queue estimated at about 4 months
- Free listing links are nofollow
- Publication is not guaranteed
- Upsell page pushes the paid upgrade hard

## Tips

- Submit early, months before you need the listing
- Use a plain, specific headline, since it is shown as the tagline
- Pick 5 to 10 tags that match how people browse
- Only pay for Fast-Track if the date matters or you want the dofollow link
