# Fazier Platform Help

Helps the user submit to, optimize listings on, and get the most from Fazier — a product discovery platform for indie makers featuring daily launches, community voting, and DR81 dofollow backlinks.

## Step 1 — Gather context


If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. **What do you need help with?**
   - A) Submitting a product to Fazier
   - B) Understanding the backlink value (DR81 dofollow)
   - C) Choosing between Free, Lite ($19), Premium ($39), or Super ($99)
   - D) Comparing Fazier with other directories
   - E) Something else — describe it

2. **What's your product?**
   - A) SaaS / software tool
   - B) AI tool / ML product
   - C) Developer tool
   - D) Side project / indie product
   - E) Info product (ebook, course, template)
   - F) Something else

3. **What's your primary goal?**
   - A) SEO backlinks (dofollow)
   - B) Community visibility and early users
   - C) Leaderboard ranking
   - D) All of the above

**If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step.** Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

## Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a different skill, route:
- Multi-directory launch strategy → `/sales-launch-directory`
- Product Hunt launch → `/sales-producthunt`
- Email marketing to subscribers → `/sales-email-marketing`
- Landing page optimization → `/sales-checkout`
- Audience growth strategy → `/sales-audience-growth`
- Other specific directory platforms → hand off to that platform's skill

Otherwise, answer directly from the Fazier reference below.

| Aspect | Fazier | Uneed | Open Launch | TinyLaunch | ProductBurst |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DR | 81 | 74 | 65 | 60-71 | 46 |

### When Fazier makes sense

**Good fit:**
- You want one of the highest DR dofollow backlinks from a startup directory (DR81)
- You're an indie maker or solo founder launching a tech product or side project
- You want a less competitive environment than Product Hunt or Uneed
- You can add a badge to your site (free tier) or pay $19+ to skip it

**Not ideal:**
- You need high referral traffic — Fazier's monthly visits are modest (~658)
- You need instant free listing — free tier takes up to 15 days and requires a badge
- You want a large community for voting/engagement — Fazier is still growing
- You need the absolute highest DR without paying — Uneed offers DR74 free with no badge requirement

## Step 4 — Actionable guidance

### For users submitting (free tier)

1. Create an account at fazier.com
2. Prepare: clear product name, problem-focused tagline, high-quality screenshots, working product URL
3. Add UTM tracking: `?utm_source=fazier&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=launch`
4. Submit via fazier.com/submit and choose the free option
5. **Add the Fazier verification badge** to your homepage or footer — required for free tier
6. Wait up to 15 days for manual review and approval
7. Once live, share your Fazier listing and engage with community

**Note**: DR81 dofollow is among the highest free backlinks from any startup directory — higher than Uneed (DR74), Indie Hackers (DR75), and F6S (DR74). Only Product Hunt (DR91) and Hacker News (DR91) significantly exceed it. The trade-off is the badge requirement and 15-day wait.

### For users considering paid tiers

**Lite ($19)** — publish immediately with no badge:
- Best value if you want speed and don't want a badge on your site
- Backlink for top 3 daily products only — not guaranteed for all Lite submissions
- Cheapest paid skip option across most directories

**Premium ($39)** — guaranteed DR81+ dofollow backlink:
- The guaranteed backlink makes this worthwhile for SEO-focused submitters
- 15-day platform-wide promotion adds visibility
- Premium badge adds credibility on your listing
- Includes Product Hunt Launch Checklist ($39 value)

**Super ($99)** — top homepage placement:
- Best for maximum visibility — top placement for 15 full days
- Makes sense if Fazier's audience closely matches your target users
- All Premium features included

### For multi-directory launchers

Fazier fits into **Phase 2 — Paid fast-track** if you use Lite ($19) or Premium ($39), or **Phase 3 — Free editorial queues** for the free tier. The DR81 backlink makes it one of the most valuable directory submissions by backlink strength — ranking above Uneed (DR74) and below only Product Hunt (DR91) and Hacker News (DR91). Submit free on Day 1 for the queue, or pay $19+ to publish immediately.

## Gotchas

*Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about features and pricing that may change.*

- **Free tier requires a badge on your site.** Unlike Uneed (free with no badge) or ProductBurst (instant free), Fazier's free tier requires you to add a verification badge to your homepage or footer. If you don't want a badge, the Lite tier ($19) removes this requirement.
- **Traffic is very modest.** ~658 estimated monthly visits — this is primarily an SEO backlink play, not a traffic source. Don't expect significant referral visits.
- **15-day review for free submissions.** Manual moderation means your listing isn't instant. Plan accordingly if timing matters.
- **DR81 is from LaunchDirectories — verify independently.** Domain ratings fluctuate and sources can disagree. The site claims "DR 81+" for its guaranteed backlink tier. Verify with Ahrefs or similar after your listing goes live.
- **Lite tier backlink is conditional.** "High-authority backlink for top 3 daily products" — not guaranteed for all Lite submissions. Only Premium ($39) guarantees the backlink.
- **Pricing shows crossed-out "original" prices.** Lite was "$29" now "$19", Premium was "$59" now "$39", Super was "$79" now "$99" (wait — Super went UP?). Pricing display may be marketing-driven. Focus on current prices.
- **Small community means less voting activity.** Daily launches may have fewer votes and less engagement than larger platforms. This can be an advantage (less competition) or disadvantage (less social proof).

- **Self-improving**: If you discover something not covered here, append it to `references/learnings.md` with today's date.

## Examples

### Example 1: Submit a side project for backlinks
**User says**: "I want to submit my side project to Fazier for SEO backlinks"
**Skill does**:
1. Explains DR81 dofollow — one of the highest from any startup directory
2. Walks through free submission: create account, submit, add badge, wait 15 days
3. Notes the badge requirement and suggests Lite ($19) to avoid it
4. Compares with alternatives: Uneed (DR74, no badge), ProductBurst (instant, DR46)
5. Suggests submitting to instant-listing platforms while waiting for Fazier review
**Result**: Product submitted with clear expectations about the 15-day wait and badge requirement

### Example 2: Choose between Fazier tiers
**User says**: "Should I pay for Fazier Premium or just do the free tier?"
**Skill does**:
1. Free tier: DR81 dofollow, 15-day wait, badge required on your site
2. Premium ($39): guaranteed DR81+ backlink, no badge, 15-day promotion, instant publish
3. Notes that free tier backlink value is the same IF you're willing to add the badge and wait
4. Recommends Premium if SEO is the priority and you don't want a badge, free if you're patient
**Result**: Clear tier comparison with recommendation based on goals and budget

### Example 3: Compare Fazier with Uneed
**User says**: "Fazier or Uneed — which is better for backlinks?"
**Skill does**:
1. Fazier: DR81, free requires badge + 15-day wait, guaranteed backlink at $39
2. Uneed: DR74, free with no badge, queue wait, $29.99 to choose date
3. Notes Fazier has higher DR but much less traffic and community
4. Recommends both — submit to both for stacked backlinks
5. For pure backlink value, Fazier wins on DR; for traffic/engagement, Uneed wins
**Result**: Side-by-side comparison with recommendation to submit to both

## Troubleshooting

### Free submission not approved after 15 days
**Symptom**: Submitted for free over 15 days ago, still not listed
**Cause**: Manual moderation queue may be backed up, or the badge wasn't detected on your site.
**Solution**: Verify the Fazier badge is visible on your homepage or footer. Check your email for any communication from Fazier. If still pending, consider upgrading to Lite ($19) for immediate publishing, or reach out via @FalakDigital on X/Twitter.

### Badge requirement feels intrusive
**Symptom**: Don't want to add a Fazier badge to your site but want the free listing
**Cause**: Free tier requires badge verification to ensure submissions are genuine.
**Solution**: The Lite tier ($19) removes the badge requirement and publishes immediately. If $19 isn't in budget, add the badge in the footer where it's less prominent — it only needs to be present, not dominant. You can also wait for a sale or promotion.

### Backlink not showing in Ahrefs after listing goes live
**Symptom**: Product listed on Fazier but backlink not appearing in SEO tools
**Cause**: New backlinks take time for crawlers to discover. Despite DR81, Fazier's low traffic means crawlers may visit less frequently.
**Solution**: Wait 2-6 weeks for crawlers to discover the link. Manually verify by inspecting your product page on fazier.com for a dofollow `<a>` tag. If the link is nofollow, check whether your tier includes a dofollow guarantee — only Premium ($39) guarantees it explicitly.
