How to submit to Uneed, and alternatives

What Uneed does for a launch

A launch platform gives a new product a day or a week on a front page where people browse, vote and comment. The attention is short, so the work is in the preparation and in showing up on the day.

How to get listed on Uneed

1. Read Uneed's submit page and rules first: some platforms have a free queue, a paid way to skip it, or a fixed launch day.
2. Create a maker account a few days early. A brand-new account that posts once looks like spam on most platforms.
3. Pick a launch day you can spend online. Most of the result comes from replying to comments in the first hours.
4. Fill in the listing: a tagline that says what it does, a short description, a square logo, three or four screenshots and your pricing.
5. On the day, share the launch link with people who already know you, and reply to every comment.
6. If Uneed gives you a badge or a launch page, link it from your site. It tells visitors you're real and helps search engines find the page.

Tips for Uneed

• Free launches go through a queue, so book your date well before you need it.
• Use the wait to get your screenshots and first-comment text right.

What to prepare before you submit

You'll paste the same things into every launch platform and directory, so write them once:

• A tagline under 60 characters that says what it does (see how to write a product tagline).
• A description under 160 characters, plus a longer one of two or three short paragraphs.
• A square logo (at least 256×256) and three or four screenshots at the same size.
• Your pricing in one line, including whether there's a free plan.
• A spreadsheet of where you submitted, the listing URL and whether the link is followed.

Frequently asked questions

Is launching on Uneed free?

Most launch platforms have a free way in, often with a queue, and a paid option for a set date or a better spot. Prices change, so check Uneed's submit page for what it offers today.

Is a Uneed launch worth it?

It's worth it when you can be there on the day to answer comments, and when the people who browse Uneed are close to your customers. A launch you can't show up for usually gets little back.

Can I launch on Uneed and other platforms too?

Yes. Space them out by a few days so each launch gets your full attention, and reuse the same tagline, description and screenshots so every listing says the same thing.
