Directory builders rent you $39–145 every month and keep your listings on their platform. This kit is the opposite: a directory site that deploys to your own Cloudflare account on the free tier — public listings with search, a submit-and-approve queue, and paid featured slots sold through your own payment link — plus the 14-day playbook that ends in your first featured sale. One payment of ฿1,490. No monthly fee. No platform cut.
Get the kit — ฿1,490One zip: a single-file Cloudflare Worker (zero npm dependencies), a D1 schema, 20 demo listings, and the two playbooks. Everything runs on the Cloudflare free tier — no servers to rent, no build step, nothing phoning home.
The whole public site is one zero-dependency Worker on your own Cloudflare account: listings with full-text search and category filters, and a page per vendor. The free tier comfortably runs a young directory.
Vendors submit themselves through a form with a built-in honeypot. Nothing goes live until you approve it in your admin dashboard — every listing stays a human decision, not an auto-scrape.
Paste your Stripe Payment Link (or Lemon Squeezy checkout) into the config and submitters see a pay-for-featured button. You see the money in your own dashboard and flip the slot — no platform fee, ever.
Every featured slot carries a paid-until date, and a scheduled job clears expired placements automatically. Your top slots stay honest, and renewals are one click in the admin panel.
Where to source entries (official sites and public APIs — never ToS-violating scraping), the 5-field quality bar, and an AI-assisted workflow that finishes the seed in one afternoon.
Niche-selection gates that kill bad ideas at day 2, the outreach email template, the day-14 checkpoint, and the 90-day money path — with kill criteria, so you decide by numbers instead of hope.
The kit ships the machine, not the demand. Directory software is the easy half; traffic and paying submitters come from the niche-selection and outreach work in the playbook. Nothing here promises income — the playbook's kill criteria exist precisely because most directory ideas deserve to be stopped early.
You verify payments by hand, on purpose. Featured means you saw the money in your own Stripe dashboard and clicked "Feature". For zero-to-twenty sales a month, one human click beats a webhook pipeline you'd have to babysit — and there is no third-party dependency to break.
Your account, your data. The Worker and its D1 database live in your Cloudflare account under your terms. There is no vendor dashboard to get locked out of, no export problem, and no per-listing fee that grows with your success.
From zip to a live directory in one sitting.
wrangler login, create a D1 database, paste its id into the config, set one admin secret, deploy. The README walks it in about 15 minutes — free tier, no credit card.
Follow the seed playbook: public sources only, verified links, one-line factual descriptions. A demo seed file shows every state — featured, live, pending — before your real data goes in.
Create a payment link in your own Stripe — new directories start at $29–79 per 30 days — paste it into the config, and email the vendors already listed. The playbook includes the exact email.
No monthly plan, no platform fee, no per-listing cut.

No. The directory is one Worker plus a D1 database, and the Cloudflare free tier comfortably runs a young directory. Paid tiers matter at real scale — heavy traffic, many scheduled jobs — long after the kit has paid for itself. Attaching your own domain is done in the Cloudflare dashboard.
You create a Payment Link in your own Stripe (or a checkout in Lemon Squeezy) and paste it into the config. Submitters pay there; you see the money in your dashboard and enable their featured slot from the admin panel with the number of days they bought. Verification is manual by design — for a handful of sales a month it is one click, and there is no webhook plumbing to maintain.
Yes — and for a pure no-code start they are fine. But builders rent: $12–149 per month, and your listings live on their platform. This kit flips it: no monthly fee, your Cloudflare account, your database, and the featured-slot money never passes through anyone else's platform. Buy it once instead of renting it.
Honestly: anywhere from zero to a few hundred dollars a month. Large established directories charge $49–437 for a featured listing, but a new directory starts at $29–79 and lives or dies on niche selection and outreach. The playbook's day-2 and day-14 gates exist so you find out cheaply whether yours works — before you sink a month into it.
If the kit doesn't fit how you work, email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full — the zip is yours to keep or delete. One refund per purchase; we only ask for optional feedback.
Nine files: the Worker (one file, zero dependencies), the D1 schema, the deploy config, 20 demo listings, the seed-content playbook, the 14-day plan, a manifest, and the license. No build step, no npm install — deploy and run.
