## Is SideProjects.net worth it?

Worth a free submission for any side project or small indie tool: the project page carries a followed link and stays up after launch day. Don't expect much traffic. On the day checked, most launches had zero reactions. Join the free queue early so the slot lines up with other launches, and only pay $29 if you need a fixed date, for example to match a Product Hunt launch.

## Who should submit to SideProjects.net?

Suits indie makers, solo developers and people shipping small web apps, browser extensions and AI side projects who want a permanent page and a followed link. It is a weak fit for funded B2B products looking for buyers, and for anyone who needs real launch day traffic, since the daily lists get very few reactions.

## What you need before you submit

- An account with email and password (no Google or GitHub sign-in)
- A live product URL
- A project name, tagline, description and category

## How to submit

1. Create an account at sideprojects.net
2. Click Submit project and fill in the project details
3. Choose the free queue or pay $29 to pick a launch date
4. On launch day, share the page to collect reactions; the top 3 by unique reactions get a badge

## Pros

- Free launch option with a followed link (rel="noopener" only)
- Permanent project page after launch day
- $29 date picking includes the weekly newsletter
- Leaderboard and daily badges for the top 3

## Cons

- Free launches wait in a queue, usually a few weeks
- Low engagement: most launches checked had 0 reactions
- Password account required, no social sign-in
- Newsletter inclusion only on paid options

## Tips

- Submit early so the free slot arrives around your other launches
- Write a full description, since the project page is what stays indexed
- Ask your own users to react on launch day to reach the top 3
- Use the $15 relaunch after a big update instead of a new listing
