$3K in Revenue in 3 days from a Product Hunt Launch - PH is not dead

We've been in the AI SaaS game for over a year now, building a bunch of cool products. When we saw the boilerplate market explode, we thought, "Hey, why not an AI SaaS boilerplate?" That's how BuilderKit.ai was born.

What makes us stand out? We've got pre-built demo apps, AI modules, and a solid NextJS boilerplate all rolled into one. Plus, our apps don't have those annoying Vercel timeout issues or API problems that plague many open repos.

It took us two months to put everything together, and we finally launched on Twitter in May, week 2. The early response was pretty decent, and we got tons of helpful feedback that helped us fix minor issues.

Once we felt confident, we decided to launch on PH. Aiming for maximum traffic, we picked a Wednesday (July 3rd) against a Saturday/Sunday. We teamed up with a great hunter (Kevin William David) a week before and did some basic prep - making lists of groups, communities, and friends to reach out to on launch day.

Launch day was a hit! We landed the #2 spot with over 530 upvotes, even beating out Suno AI.

Here's what we got from the launch:

• Over 2.5K visitors
• Featured in the PH newsletter and a few others
• $3K in revenue
• 40 new customers
• 3 leads for our custom AI SaaS solutions

This was easily our best PH launch yet. We didn't spend anything on the launch (growth consultants or paid upvotes), but we did put in a ton of effort DMing active PH users, which really paid off.

I think we got a bit lucky too – some big companies probably skipped July 3rd because of the 4th of July weekend.

BuilderKit has now hit $6K in revenue, and we're gunning for $10K this month.

We're still figuring out our next move, but we're stoked about the early response and feedback. Any thoughts on where we should take BuilderKit next? We'd love to hear from you!
