What you actually get
A listing at techtrendin.com/products/your-slug that goes live the moment you submit, with dofollow outbound links, then joins a homepage voting week you pick from a calendar. Ours published immediately and the free week on offer was two days out, so the wait is short compared with most weekly boards.
How to submit to TechTrendin
1
Sign in
/products/submit bounces to a login modal offering Google, or email and password. Signing up is free.
2
Hand over the URL
One field, then "Get Started". It scrapes your site and opens a draft at /products/submit/<uuid>/step1. Shortened and UTM-tagged links are refused.
3
Product details (1/3)
Name, tagline and description, all prefilled from the scrape and all worth rewriting: ours came back named after the domain with an invented tagline.
4
Category (2/3) and media (3/3)
Exactly one category from a filterable tree, then a required square logo and at least one gallery image or video.
5
Pick the package, then the week
Three tiers with Premium preselected. Choosing "Join the line" at $0, then a week in the calendar, publishes the listing straight away.

Gotchas
The package screen opens with the $19.90 Premium tier already selected and the $0 tier sitting unselected beside it, so pressing on without reading buys the expensive one.
The free tier card lists "Badge verification required", but nothing in the flow ever asked for a badge and the listing published without one, so assume the check can arrive later and cost you the listing.
The free card promises "dofollow links if in top 3" even though the listing renders dofollow from the moment it publishes, so the link you can see today is one they have reserved the right to take back.
