What you actually get
A row on a Tailwind collection page, with the outbound link nofollowed and routed through their affiliate parameter. The value here is the audience, not the link: they claim 140k visitors and 300k page views over six months, 43% of it from Tier 1 countries, and their two published testimonials are both from template sellers reporting steady sales.

How to submit to Tailkits

  1. Pick the free plan
    Four tiers on /submit-product. Free is labelled 'Listing with 14+ day wait' and 'No dedicated page' on the card itself, which is the clearest statement of what it buys.
  2. Read the guidelines gate
    The free button leaves tailkits.com for a Tally form that opens on four rules (brandable name, Tailwind-only, quality bar, working demo) behind an I accept step before any field appears.
  3. Fill the product details
    Tally collects the listing behind that gate. A working public demo URL is mandatory and a broken one is an immediate rejection rather than a request to fix it.
  4. Wait out the manual review
    Every submission is reviewed by hand against clean code, design and responsiveness. Free submissions are reviewed within fourteen business days; paid ones within 48 hours.

Gotchas

The submit page sells 'valuable do-follow links', and every outbound link we read on their collection and product pages carries rel="nofollow" and an affiliate parameter. The only dofollow they actually name is on the $499 review post.
The free lane has no status page and nothing to check while it runs, and fourteen business days is nearly three calendar weeks of that.
