BacklinkBench: backlink submission manager for indie developers
Helps indie developers systematically track and manage backlink submissions across 500+ platforms.
- Problem
- When indie developers promote their products, there are 500+ backlink submission platforms, but they only submit to a few. Without systematic tracking, they duplicate submissions or miss platforms, and platform info is scattered across bookmarks and spreadsheets, making status hard to track.
- Solution
- A backlink management workbench that lets users add projects, copy platform info with one click, and mark submission status. It filters by platform type, DR, login requirement, and more; records submission dates and URLs to avoid duplicates; and includes a built-in, continuously updated list of 500+ platforms.
- Users
- Indie developers, global product founders, and growth operators, especially solo developers seeking low-cost initial traffic.
- MVP
- Built-in list of 500+ backlink platforms; add projects and mark submission status per platform; filter by platform type/difficulty; record submission URLs and dates; simple stats dashboard.
- Revenue
- Free tier with limited projects; Pro annual subscription at $29–$49 for unlimited projects, CSV export, and platform list updates; affiliate partnerships possible.
- Why now
- The indie hacker global wave continues, and platform-list tools have clear demand with low build cost. Existing solutions are mostly spreadsheets or Notion templates, lacking a dedicated workbench.
