Got 500+ subscribers and 400+ upvotes yesterday on PH

Yesterday was a very exciting day for us because we launched our first product ever on ProductHunt, we were both enthusiasts & scarred at the outcome.

By the end of the 24h PH cycle:

  • We reached the 2nd place 🚀with a total of 404 upvotes, 20 PH comments, 10 PH reviews & a review score of 4.5/5
  • 70+ direct feedback (in our platform) mixing both NPS, willingness to pay, usability quality & custom comments.
  • 2 VC contacted us
  • 1 article posted in a well-known french website
  • 100+ sharing/mentions on social media (mainly Twitter)
  • 6k+ banners generated with a low ~6% error rate & 600+ generated funnels with a ~2.5 min average filling time.
  • 2k+ unique visitors on our landing page

Those are pretty good results, especially considering that we were hesitating to launch this alpha version on PH.

Getting so much feedbacks & comments really comfort us on our product value proposition 🌟

Still, there is a long and tough journey ahead of us.

    Congrats! I'm thinking of doing a PH launch soon and I'm not expecting anywhere near this level of success. Did you do anything special to get the word out?

      Thank you! You'll never know what kind of success you will have unless you try and put some work and preparation behind it!

      • We created an upcoming page (Ship) on PH 4 months ago, in order to build a base community on PH.
      • We gathered emails on our landing during 6months.
      • We sent an email 24h prior to the launch to warn our user base that we would be launching the next day.
      • You need to get hunted by one of the Top 500 hunters (our was 100th).
      • We posted our PH page on several slack channels / Facebook groups.
      • Then we prayed!
