Congrats
I think the homepage is hugely improved. I signed up and linked my social media profiles. I am blocked because I don't have great ideas for MondayMotivation content or MWF updates. I would like to post my serverless blog article if serverless ever trends on Google or Twitter.... http://blog.codefor.cash/2017/08/04/what-is-serverless-and-why-does-it-matter/
Also just to help there is a bug/feature where I can see your sandbox account as one of my posting options
Thanks Zack! I really appreciate it! I'd recommend using the Dynamic Interval Schedule (DIS) for your blog post if you're okay with recycling it with a few different captions.
I think that in addition to the trends trigger would be a good place to start. With the trends trigger you can gear the copy more towards the fact that it's trending or a new, up and coming thing. Did you try the 'similar terms' tool when setting up your trends trigger?
I just tried it with 'serverless' and it had some good recommendations such as, 'google cloud functions', 'amazon lambda', and 'hardware virtualization'. I've noticed that it works well for some terms, but others are a bit off topic.
In regard to the CC Sandbox account, it's a feature, although I can see how it would look like a bug 🙂. The intention is so you can play around with different triggers and test them out before actually posting to your own audience. A way to get a feel for how everything works.
I set up some content. Very interesting tool. I hope it works haha! Small bug, sometimes when adding trend term (maybe during edit?) it double-adds.
One thing that would be great would be a WordPress integration. I would like you to be able to automatically cycle my blog posts on my company LinkedIn + Twitter + Facebook page. Actually, if you did a Zapier integration, that might allow me to handle the WordPress integration!
Oh good catch, I'll take a look at that bug - thanks! Let me know if it doesn't work! haha it should all be polished out by now.
Yes, WordPress integration is necessary. As you suggested, I'm planning on integrating with Zapier. It was a great recommendation Courtland had when I put up the landing page back in April. And the most recent podcast validates the value in the integration.
Cool, just upvoted!
When do you think is the best timing to get on PH? The earlier the better?
Take a look at this article published by Product Hunt
There's a section titled, Best Time to Post
Cool, haven't gotten around to reading it yet but the article popped up everywhere. Thanks!
I'm interested to know more about this also.
Congratulations 👏! Add another +1 to the upvote count.
Thanks Channing! I really appreciate it 🙌
Really cool idea! Voted!
Thanks for the upvote Travis! 👍
Nice!
I think you could stress even more the event-based specificity of your app because for a moment I thought it was quite similar to buffer
Oh okay, that's good insight. Thank you!
Voted! Congrats on the hunt. :)
Thanks Marcus! 👊
Congrats man, you've got +1 vote from me!
I'd be interested to see your traffic numbers after the hunt.
Like I said, nothing overwhelming, but still very thankful for everyone who gave the page a look and more so for those who signed up 😊
Screenshot of traffic from day 1:

which yielded 25 new subscribers
For reference, here's a screenshot from my BetaList launch back in June
The post went live midday June 28th:
http://static.cloudcampaign.io/img/betalist_launch.png
48 new subscribers
it's worth noting that with the BetaList launch I was only collecting emails to send beta invites - only 39.5% of those email subscribers created accounts. Where as with the PH launch 25 reflects people actually creating accounts
There's been a big increase in actual usage since this past Wednesday
Linked Social Accounts 52 -> 100
Triggers Created 90 -> 149
Alot of that is attributed to the PH launch, but I've also been getting steady traffic (10% of all traffic) from Quora answers
Appreciate the transparency! It's maybe not the traffic windfall you were hoping for but an 8% conversion rate is nothing to sniff at.
I've heard that Fri/Sat/Sun were the "slower" days on PH. Is that your impression now that CloudCampaign's hunt is over?
It did seem a bit slow, but it's only speculation to guess how it would have performed on another day. Cloud Campaign was "trending" in most of the categories it was listed under, which maybe wouldn't have happened if it was busier on PH - tough to say.
Thanks again David! I'll post numbers tomorrow. TBH it's been pretty underwhelming
Nice work. Upvoted!
Thanks Robert!
Upvoted =) Not sure how I missed this on PH
Thanks for the upvote!
