Yeah I think the hard truth is any sort of organic promotion is time-consuming so it either needs to be something you easily do anyway or you're sure has a good ROI. I don't really "recommend Reddit" as much as I've noticed that because it's somewhere I naturally spent my time it was a platform I was doing better than on X which is an app I never naturally gravitated towards.
As far as the ROI, I don't think it's random that Marc Lou has had a ton of products that didn't perform especially great, but now his "smash hit" is a product for aspiring Indie Hackers (a SaaS boilerplate). Ultimately there has to be some sort of audience->product fit or the audience building is just a waste of time (in business sense, at least).
One thing I wonder about most of those "places to launch your X" is who is going to those sites as an end-user and trying stuff? I _think_ for most of them, its SaaS founders looking for ways to improve their SaaS, so if you're going to launch there, share those types of products. But I do feel like figuring out the answer to the question of "what audience is this" is key to using those options effectively.
Curious to see the results of those directories! I’m assuming it’s good to get the ball rolling, and you might eventually look for other avenues after that initial push. Let us know how it goes!
I only submitted an Upwork course to a Black Friday repository on GitHub. But I got around 40 sales from it. I was honestly surprised lol
Thanks for shoutout.

Yes, I'm prety sure your familiarity with Reddit plays an important role with organic promotion.
I think the same, if the product doesn't make sense, it won't last long.
I think they might get some sort of traffic. But I would really like to see is if posting an app in those places improve SEO.

Yeah sure! Ohh nice, this is a good way to promote your product as well. Thanks for the tip
I was sceptical at first but then pleasantly surprised as sales kept coming in!
