How I recommend using this list (practical workflow)

1. Prioritize: Start with high-impact sites — Product Hunt, G2, Capterra, Crunchbase, AWS/Azure Marketplaces, and key developer communities.
2. Prepare assets: One-page product summary, screenshots, short pitch, 2–3 use cases, pricing info, logos, and 1–2 short videos.
3. Track submissions: Use a Google Sheet with columns: site, URL, free/paid, status, account/email used, notes, date submitted.
4. Sequence launches: Don’t mass-submit everywhere at once. Launch on Product Hunt + BetaList or Betapage for early buzz, then list on review sites (G2/Capterra) and marketplaces.
5. Follow rules: Each site has submission guidelines — follow them precisely (images, category, screenshots).
6. Leverage feedback: Use early reviewers for quotes and initial social proof to seed review sites and directories.
