Is ListYourIdea worth it?
A low-cost place for indie products. The free launch costs a few minutes of community tasks and gives a nofollow link unless you finish in the top 3. The $5 Featured plan is cheap for an instant listing with three dofollow links (launch page, category page, blog post). Bring a few supporters on launch Monday if you want to compete for the top 3.
Who should submit to ListYourIdea?
Suits indie makers, side projects and small SaaS teams who want a quick, low-pressure launch and a cheap followed link. Less useful for products that need a large audience, since the site is small and each week has 18 free slots.
