Free Peerlist Guides

Start with the launch steps

How do I launch a project on Peerlist Launchpad? is the official walkthrough. You pick a project from a dropdown, click Launch on a Monday, and can schedule a later day in that week. The only hard number is the 100% completion rule, and a verified profile is required. The article gives no cost. Read it alongside how launches are timed and ranked. ^[1]

Read the rules before you ask anyone for a vote

Launchpad Rules and Guidelines sets what can get a launch removed. Only individual profiles can launch, a valid demo link is required, and asking for upvotes is prohibited. The page calls upvotes "a small variable" in ranking but gives no weights. It says nothing about cost or backlinks, so do not expect answers there. The upvote rule is the one most likely to cost you a profile, so read the suspension guide with it. ^[2]

The Spotlight route runs on a UTC clock

The Project Spotlight launch steps give the Monday window as 12:00 am to 11:59 pm UTC, with the same 100% completion rule. The page does not say whether Spotlight and Launchpad are one program, so confirm which route you are on. The UTC window can fall on a different local day from the one you expect, which matters if you post from Europe or Asia. ^[3]

Fill in the project and profile before launch week

The Help Center article on adding projects lists every field on the Add Project form: name, tagline, URL, up to four cover images, a video, tech stack, category, an open-source flag and a description. It is a checklist for a finished product. It does not say what to write in each field. ^[4]

The profile article covers sign-up, tags and LinkedIn autofill. The autofill works up to three times, imports once, and does not sync later edits. The article gives 40% completion as the point where your profile becomes visible, but its FAQ says 70% for public. Until Peerlist says which applies, aim for 70%, the stricter figure. The LinkedIn import is the step to check first. ^[5]

Asset sizes and timing from a promoter's launch guide

The Tetriz launch guide, dated 29 November 2025, lists the asset limits: a 45-character name, a 60-character tagline, a 500 by 500 logo, and 1200 by 630 screenshots, up to four. It advises preparing by Friday. The author sells growth services and links to Apify and Phantombuster, which may be referral links. The traffic figures and upvote-weighting claims are the author's own, so use the asset sizes and skip the rest. For the outreach advice, compare it with the launch tips. ^[6]

A beginner video for developers, with sign-up links to watch for

The YouTube video "LinkedIn is Dead for Developers? Meet Peerlist (Full Tutorial + Secret Growth Tips!)" from the Passivern channel walks a beginner through Peerlist as an alternative to LinkedIn for developers, with growth tips. It suits someone who wants a visual tour before signing up. Its description may contain sign-up links, so treat any link there as a referral. Check the developer profile setup against the Help Center before you copy its steps. ^[7]

A portfolio walkthrough from 2022

A developer's DEV blog post from September 2022 is the most concrete setup walkthrough in this list. It explains that the GitHub integration pulls in open-source work only, and that side work goes in as custom projects. The screens and the list of integrations date from 2022, so compare them with the integrations on the features page before you follow it. ^[8]
