What this skill does

# 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.

| DR | 81 | 74 | 65 | 60-71 | 46 |
| Backlink type | Dofollow (free w/ badge) | Dofollow (free) | Dofollow (conditional) | Dofollow (Top 3 or $39) | Dofollow (free) |

### 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).
