I spent 5 minutes to get to #1 on IH front-page

Here's me pitching Momentum on IH frontpage:

I used to share long-form articles and questions on IH but didn't get much traction.

Yesterday I lazy-released a landing page to IH. I've simple shared a link to 3 groups here, it took me few minutes.

Originally I planned to write a long press release, but decided to start with something quick to see how it goes.

I've got few comments, replied back quickly and called it a day.

Today I woke up and, surprised, found my post on the IH front-page and 25+ people joined my waitlist!

So lesson here — don't overthink on the early stages. Try every opportunity to promote your product.


I'm building Momentum — a tool for building in public.
Would love to hear your feedback and recommendations.

    I'm trying to work out WHEN to get started on PH. I don't have a landing page yet and I read somewhere that you should join approx 30 days before you plan to launch. Any thoughts?

      Thank you, I happy to hear that!

      I don't know what are good rules for cross-posting but generally you need to avoid posting in too many groups.

      Following conversation here you should try to limit yourself with 2 groups to avoid removal:
