Why TinyLaunch submissions get rejected or stall

- Your launch is pending review and could be rejected if it doesn't meet quality standards or category fit.
- You must confirm you won't self-upvote; failure to do so may block submission.
- Backlink is only for top 3 ranked products and requires embedding the TinyLaunch badge with a dofollow link on your landing page.
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Schedule your free launch as early as possible; free slots fill up 4–5 weeks in advance.
- To get the dofollow backlink, aim for top 3 in your launch day competition and embed the TinyLaunch badge on your landing page.
- If you need a guaranteed backlink and faster placement, consider the $39 Premium Launch.
- Complete your Maker Profile fully before submitting your startup to avoid delays.
