My PH launch is going to fail badly, isn't it?

Do you have an email list that you promoted this to? How engaged is your social media presence? How about any online communities that you're active it--did you promote it there?

The thing about PH is it's not a marketing channel where "if you post it, they will come." You have to promote the ever-loving snot out of your PH launch. If you already have an audience--even if it's just friends, family, and neighbors you bugged--you need to utilize them to help you get traction early.

Looking at your PH listing, it took me a minute to understand what the product actually was--so that may also be working against you. I might have phrased it something like, "Like UberPool for food deliveries."

But then again, maybe that's not the kind of messaging you want. I think just leading with something that instantly tells me "small food delivery fees eliminated!"

Great idea, though.

I'm going to echo what others have already said - you need to put more effort into your messaging.

Your copy should inform me, within the first 3 seconds, exactly what your platform does.

This means stripping away every single non-essential word in a sentence that you can.

I think we avoid this because we're worried that we're not being 100% accurate unless we include every single piece of information.

For example, you currently have:

"Quarantify lets you find nearby people who want to order from the same place as you to save on minimum/ small order fees, food waste and CO2."

27 words - I'd try and cut ~50% of this sentence.

"Ordering food? With Quarantify, pool orders with your neighbours to save delivery fees and reduce waste."

Down to 16 words and (IMHO) absolutely laser-focused on explaining what you do in as few words as possible.

Just posting on Product Hunt might yield a half dozen upvotes. That's really about it. I've never had success or anything go viral on Product Hunt, but it is still important to publish as Google will index it, your product will look official, and you can at least show that your product is legit because it has indeed been released to the world.

I'm sorry man :(

Also invest in creating a cool avatar for your project. Ideally a gif that really stands out...This icon is a bit too ordinary. Not a decisive factor, but those small things play a role

Hey @tgel0,

My project took #1 product of the day this Saturday (two days ago) was published 5 days (Monday) earlier and I though my launch failed getting around 30 up votes through the week.

• In this comment I'm sharing traffic analysis and result after launch;
• And here's article with details on launch and what I did to achieve it.

So, in short — keep your marketing routine going! You still have a time to get to the first place.

That's nothing unusual, all PH launches are failures. We just had a thread here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/my-launch-on-ph-was-a-failure-8e7a12e30e

My first 3 products failed miserably but 4th one got 51 votes (Which I think its cool). Its not the others were bad products but its the market which decided which winner was. No marketing, all organic. https://www.producthunt.com/@jassingh/submitted

This is sad because I think you have a really solid idea here with flawless timing, but the website execution is going to kill you. It took me far too long to figure out what it is, much less how it works. In addition, the design and delivery of content isn't doing you any favors.

I would take a step back and invest some time in really refining your message and design before settling on the value of this idea, because I think you're on to something here. Keep your head up. Take the feedback you've gotten here, make some major updates, and relaunch V2. 👍

Hey, maybe it is the first visual.
When looking at it, I didn't get what it was. The interface looks really tiny and everything is compressed.

Maybe show some foods / beverage things people want to buy and then explain what you do ?

Good luck with your product !
