Practical launch guide
How to Launch on Peerlist
Peerlist Launchpad is a useful option when you want developers or designers to discuss a project attached to your own professional profile. Finish the profile and project before thinking about the weekly launch.

When to Wait or Choose Another Channel
It is not a route for an agency to submit on a client’s behalf. Do not use a company identity where the platform requires an individual maker.
Peerlist: Facts Before You Submit

- No launch fee stated in the official launch instructions

- Conditions
- Do not solicit upvotes. The official FAQ awards backlinks only to the top five projects; link attributes are not specified.
Prepare and Launch
1. Prepare the Maker Identity
Use a valid personal name and photo and complete the required verification. The launch instructions require a verified profile; do not leave that step until the day you want to launch.
2. Finish the Project
Add the project to your profile and complete every required field. The official instructions require 100% project completion. Have a cover image, demo link, and explanation of what the project does ready.
3. Launch or Schedule for Monday
The launch window opens on Monday and the launch runs for the week. Peerlist also describes scheduling from the project on other days. Confirm the selected project is still complete before that window arrives.
4. Invite a Real Discussion
Ask what people think of a specific workflow or design choice. Do not cold-message members for upvotes. Keep notes on the feedback that could change the product, rather than treating rank alone as the result.
Before You Submit

Questions Founders Ask
Can I Launch an Unfinished Project Page?
The official instructions require the project information to reach 100% completion. An incomplete page can cause a scheduled launch to fail.
Does Every Project Get a Backlink?
No. Peerlist’s FAQ says only the top five projects of the week receive one. The documentation does not establish the link attributes.
