Why do you think that my _particular_ audience frequents either of these directories? Entrepreneurs should go after their customers, first and foremost. Submitting to irrelevant directories is not only lost time. It's dangerous because it suggests that we are doing something useful and that we don't have to chase the real audience anymore.
Typo btw
Whilst this is pretty handy, I balked at the "let us submit for you for $89". Like - eek! Really?! Also - the "get the pdf version" is really a dark pattern since you're not allowed to download it without first paying some non-zero amount that you laughably get to choose. Might be a bit nicer to say, "buy the pdf version".
It looks like “$0” as an amount works to get the PDF.

It’s not a dark pattern(1) if you enter the amount yourself (and you can enter 0.01$ I assume). (1) “Dark Patterns are tricks used in websites and apps that make you buy or sign up for things that you didn't mean to.” https://darkpatterns.org/

Interesting, I actually found the $89 a bargain given how long it will take to just create accounts on all these services before I can submit anything. That alone will take hours. My worry is just that this service will quickly get marked as a spammer and probably blocked or downvoted as a poster in many places.
To all of the naysayers - submitting to messageboards is a perfectly fine way to get the word out about a product! Plus, I'd expect it to help with its googlability. There's no question that it is better to talk to actual customers, but where do you even find these people? How do you get them to talk to you? How about message boards with communities of different people looking to try out new ideas as a start?

The UX is kind of confusing but it will accept $0 and email you the pdf, just tried it!
