## Is Smol Maker worth it?

Worth it for a cheap dofollow link if you accept a badge on your site. The free lane is capped at 5 launches a day and can take up to 30 days; $9.90 Premium gets an earlier date. Many listings are directories from the same operator's network, so expect little launch traffic. Keep the badge live, since unverified listings get a nofollow link.

## Who should submit to Smol Maker?

Suits indie makers and small SaaS or AI tools that want a low cost backlink and a dated launch page. Does not suit teams that will not place a third party badge, products expecting real launch day traffic, or large established tools.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google, GitHub or email)
- A live website with Domain Rating of at least 1
- A square logo under 1MB and a 16:9 image
- The Smol Maker badge on your site for the free lane

## How to submit

1. Sign in and open Submit Project
2. Add name, URL, description, logo and image
3. Pick up to 3 categories, tech tags and pricing model
4. Choose a launch date and lane
5. For free, add the badge and verify the backlink

## Pros

- Free dofollow link with the badge
- Cheap paid lanes from $9.90
- Daily caps keep each launch on the homepage list
- Free launches can be scheduled up to 270 days ahead

## Cons

- Badge required for the free lane
- Free queue up to 30 days
- Small audience, many listings from the operator's own network
- Upsells such as a $50 DR Booster

## Tips

- Verify the badge before launch day so the link loses nofollow
- Pick a date early, free slots are limited to 5 a day
- Skip the DR Booster unless you have checked the network sites
- Share the launch page to collect upvotes
