How to submit to SideProjectors

  1. Open the SideProjectors submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    SideProjectors asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse SideProjectors (Indie makers, developers and small buyers looking for side projects), not for search engines.

  5. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for SideProjectors

  • Choose 'showcase' if you don't want to sell; you can still list the project.
  • For sale listings, include tech stack, monthly revenue and visitors, screenshots and your reason for selling.
  • Make sure the project is fully functional; the team reviews submissions before approval.

From SideProjectors’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for startup directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • Your stage (idea, beta, launched) and the year you started
  • Founder names and a short founder story (2–3 sentences)
  • Funding status, only if you share it publicly
  • A launch or beta date if you are not live yet

Is SideProjectors worth it?

Good for discovery, not link equity

Links from SideProjectors listings carry rel="nofollow", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 71 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • Tranco rank #148,440: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
