01What it is and who is there

MicroLaunch is a launch board built for indie makers and small products. It lists new launches and lets the community view and vote. The audience is other makers and people who follow new indie tools. Expect a small audience and a friendly one.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

You can launch for free. Paid options may exist for extra visibility. Check the current pricing page before you pay.

03Is it right for you?

It fits side projects and early products that want a low-pressure launch and some feedback. It fits poorly for products that need many users quickly, and for enterprise buyers. Treat it as one of several launch-week listings.

04Before you start

  • A working product and landing page.
  • A logo, tagline, a few screenshots and a short description.
  • Read MicroLaunch's current launch rules.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Create the listing and pick your launch date.
  2. Write a short description that names the problem and who it is for.
  3. On launch day, reply to comments and questions.
  4. Share the listing once in your own channels.
  5. After launch, note what feedback came in and fix the obvious issues.

06What to post or submit

Tagline:

[Product]: [one job], made by an indie maker for [who].

Description:

I built [product] because [reason]. It does [main feature] and is free to try. I'm looking for feedback on [one area].

07Common mistakes and do-nots

  • Do not ask friends to vote. Ask them for feedback.
  • Do not post the same listing many times.
  • Do not expect large traffic. Plan the rest of launch week too.

08How to measure it

  • Track visits from microlaunch.net with a UTM link.
  • Count sign-ups and useful comments.
  • A realistic test: judge it by feedback quality, since traffic is small.

09Time budget

  • Before: 1 to 2 hours.
  • During: under 1 hour on the day.
  • After: under 1 hour.
