622 directory submissions, DR 53 and two new guides
Hey,
A short catch-up, because a lot happened in the last two weeks.
1. LaunchIt reached DR 53 Ahrefs now rates launchit.fast at Domain Rating 53. At the start of August it was 26. Every founder who launched, shared their listing or wrote about us helped get here. Thank you.
2. Two new guides
- Where to promote your startup on Reddit: 15 subreddits, with each one's self-promotion rules checked one by one. Surprise finding: seven of them now ban AI-written posts. https://launchit.fast/blog/where-to-promote-your-startup-on-reddit-2026
- DevHunt alternatives: 12 places to launch a developer tool, with what it costs to pick your date on each. https://launchit.fast/blog/devhunt-alternatives-2026
3. 622 directory submissions, done by hand Six founders' directory runs finished recently: between 100 and 110 directories each, 622 submissions in total. Every one was done by hand, and each founder got a report with every live link.
If you'd rather not fill in the same form a hundred times: 30, 60 or 100+ directories, from $99, one payment. https://launchit.fast/submission-service
4. New reviews on the blog We used these products and wrote them up:
- Prop Firm Webmasters: a directory for people building prop firm affiliate sites https://launchit.fast/blog/prop-firm-webmasters-review
- Vetted Prop Firms: futures prop firm rankings and the discount codes that go with them https://launchit.fast/blog/vetted-prop-firms-review
- Chat Bots Compared: a six-question quiz to find the right AI chat bot https://launchit.fast/blog/chatbots-compared-review
Want an honest review of your product? $49, published in 2 to 3 days: https://launchit.fast/advertise?offer=review
That's it. Hit reply and tell me what you're launching next.
