Fill the product details
Website URL, name, tagline, and a rich-text description with a 600 character floor and a 5,000 cap. Categories are a fixed multi-select.
3
Add the media
Upload a logo through their crop dialog, then up to five screenshots. The first screenshot slot is often pre-filled from your site's OG image.
4
Add the optional details and submit
Pricing model, X handle, affiliate URL and a first comment that publishes on launch day. Submit Product saves it and opens the plan chooser.
5
Pick the free plan and a Monday
The free card opens a calendar of Mondays. Expect the first offered date to be rejected as fully booked and to pick the next one; the launch date then shows in owner settings.

Gotchas
The free plan advertises Mondays 30+ days out, but the first Monday it offers is routinely rejected as fully booked when you pick it, and the real slot lands about six months later.
The free link is nofollow. Their plan card says only a weekly win flips it, while their pricing page offers a badge as another route, and the owner settings expose no badge control at all.
The username is generated from your Google account and printed under the listing as the maker, so it publishes as something like user-1zg1vz unless you rename it in the profile.
