Publicity and press are essential stimulants that every startup company needs to establish themselves in the online business. There's no doubt that a unique and creative product or service is the backbone for a newbie in the eCommerce world, but one needs exposure to kick-start their business and bring credibility in what they do. 

Gone are the days when customers used to reach your website and click on that 'buy now' button spontaneously (except for some rare cases), these days a buyer makes sure that they look you up in Google and read what others have to say about you. So, here are few websites that are more than willing to feature you...provided they find your startup to be interesting and truly unique:

"Startup world.com is dedicated to helping start-ups and developing businesses market their product or service. By joining Startup World you will be able to list your business for free." (Learn More)

Make Use Of






















"At the moment there are about 50+ submissions per day but we are able to profile somewhere between 4-6 services.

Please note, we only accept apps and web/mobile applications." (Learn More)

We have reviewed startups that are little more than an entrepreneur's part-time hobby, as well as well as some that have secured multiple rounds of venture capital funding. We give that service to virtually all startups for free. However, we also know that telling the story is only half job done." (Learn More)
