01What it is and who is there

TinyLaunch is a launch board for indie makers and small projects. Makers post their product, and visitors browse and vote on new launches. The audience is other makers and people who like trying small tools. It is a low-pressure place for a first launch and some early feedback.

02Cost and what you actually pay for

Launching is free. There may be paid options for extra visibility. Check current terms before paying for anything.

03Is it right for you?

It fits side projects, first-time makers and small tools that want a gentle launch and honest feedback. It fits poorly for products that need large traffic or B2B buyers. Use it alongside bigger boards rather than instead of them.

04Before you start

  • A working product with a page people can visit.
  • A logo, a short tagline and a couple of screenshots.
  • A first comment that explains why you made it.
  • Read TinyLaunch's current rules for launches and voting.

05Step-by-step: how to distribute here

  1. Create the listing and pick a launch day.
  2. Write a description that names the problem in plain words.
  3. On launch day, answer comments and thank people who give feedback.
  4. Share the launch once on your own social accounts.
  5. Write down the feedback you got and turn the best point into a fix.
  6. Add the launch to your launch-week summary post.

06What to post or submit

Tagline:

[Product]: a small tool to [job] for [who].

First comment:

Hi, I'm [name]. This is my [first/next] launch. [Product] does [one job]. It's free to try. What's the first thing you'd change?

07Common mistakes and do-nots

  • Do not ask people to vote. Ask them what they think.
  • Do not make extra accounts to vote for yourself.
  • Do not launch with a broken link or a page that loads slowly.
  • Do not judge your product by the vote count on a small board.

08How to measure it

  • Track visits and sign-ups from tinylaunch.com with a UTM link.
  • Count comments that contain a real suggestion.
  • A realistic test: one launch. Judge it by feedback and a few early users, since the audience is small.

09Time budget

  • Before: 1 to 2 hours.
  • During: under 1 hour on launch day.
  • After: 30 minutes to note feedback.
