## Is SideProjectors worth it?

Worth it mainly if you want to sell a project or find a co-founder; that is what the audience comes for. As a plain showcase it is free and gets your project in front of indie buyers and builders, but the link to your site carries rel nofollow ugc, so it adds no link equity. Pick the Showcase intent unless you really are selling, add screenshots and real numbers, and expect a few days of review.

## Who should submit to SideProjectors?

Suits indie makers with a side project to sell, hand over or show, and buyers looking for small SaaS, sites, apps, extensions and domains. Also useful for finding a co-founder. Less useful for an established product chasing SEO, since the outbound link is nofollow, or for teams that want a launch-day spike of users.

## What you need before you submit

- A SideProjectors account
- A listing intent: sell, co-founder, showcase or sold
- Project name, description and type (SaaS, Shop, Blog, Website, Mobile, Desktop, Browser, Domain or Other)
- Screenshots and a working URL help approval
- For a sale: asking price and honest metrics

## How to submit

1. Go to /submit/type and choose the intent
2. Sign up or log in
3. Fill in the project details, images and website URL
4. Submit and wait for manual review
5. Reply to messages from buyers or collaborators once live

## Pros

- Free to list, and no commission on sales, per the help center
- Every project is reviewed by hand
- Audience of buyers and indie builders
- Can cross-post to ComingUp and set Slack alerts
- Sponsored placement is cheap at $10 a day

## Cons

- Outbound link is rel nofollow ugc noopener
- Review can take several days, longer when busy
- Many pages are rendered by JavaScript
- Free members are limited to contacting 3 project owners and 2 DMs a day

## Tips

- Choose Showcase if you are not selling, so the page does not show a for-sale label
- Include screenshots and real traffic or revenue figures; the help center says listings with images get approved faster
- Write the description for a buyer: what it does, who uses it, what is included
- Consider a sponsored day only if a sale is the goal
