## Is Smol Startup worth it?

Fine as one more free followed link if you are already putting directory badges on your site. The free lane needs the badge and a site with DR 5 or more, and can take up to 30 days. Paying $9.90 removes the badge and moves the date forward. It is one of many sites in the same DirEasy network, so do not expect a distinct audience or much referral traffic.

## Who should submit to Smol Startup?

Suits indie makers and small SaaS or AI products building backlinks one listing at a time. Not a good fit if you will not add a third-party badge to your site, if your domain is brand new with DR under 5, or if you are looking for buyers rather than other makers.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google, GitHub or email)
- A live website with DR of at least 5
- A square logo and a product image
- The Smol Startup badge on your site, verified, for the free lane

## How to submit

1. Sign in and open the project submit page
2. Add name, URL, description, logo and image
3. Pick categories, tech stack, platforms and pricing model
4. Place the badge on your site and press Verify Backlink
5. Choose a launch date and wait for the 8:00 UTC launch

## Pros

- Free followed link once the badge is verified
- Guaranteed homepage spot on launch day, per the FAQ
- Low paid price at $9.90
- Free launches can be scheduled up to 270 days ahead

## Cons

- Badge required for the free lane
- Minimum DR of 5 for free submissions
- Free review can take up to 30 days
- Part of a large network of similar DirEasy sites with heavy upsells

## Tips

- Put the badge live before you start the form so verification passes
- Schedule the free launch for a day you can share it, since ranking uses upvotes and comments
- Leave the badge in place after launch
- Ignore the DR Booster and SEO packages unless you have checked them yourself
