Time to share it with the Dev To community!</p> <p>The platform is designed as an alternative to Product Hunt focusing on Marketing. It help developers, product makers &amp; startups with the first steps of their marketing.</p> <p>They can:</p> <ul> <li>rank their products over a month.</li> <li>collect early-stage feedback.</li> <li>get reviews for your product (testimonials)</li> <li>get exposure, eyes on their sites, incoming traffic.</li> <li>ideally get first sales.</li> <li>distribute in the long-term: the platform creates SEO-optimized pages for their products.</li> <li>get backlinks.</li> </ul> <p>Here's our home page: <a href="https://microlaunch.net" rel="noopener noreferrer">Microlaunch</a></p> <p>Most of the launches are free. I also managed to monetize it through sponsorships and pro launches for a small fee (around 30 of them each month ask for extra exposure).</p> <p>My goal now is to add cool features such as product battles, product deals, AI, create a little community. Foremost: helping builders &amp; makers get more sales and make it!</p> <p>Feel free to share your feedback, thoughts. Would love to see more of us launch and start bootstrapping our own startups.</p> saas marketing showdev
