PMHNP Hiring launched to crickets - here's my recovery plan
Title: Day 2: PMHNP Hiring launched to crickets - here's my recovery plan
Hey IH 👋
Quick update on my first real product launch.
Yesterday (Launch Day)
- Product Hunt: 6 upvotes (ouch)
- LinkedIn post: ~100 impressions
- Website visitors: ~20
- Signups: 0
What went wrong
Built for 3 months. Spent 0 days building an audience.
Classic first-time founder mistake.
The product itself
PMHNP Hiring - job board for psychiatric nurse practitioners
- 5,687+ jobs aggregated
- Works well, users who find it like it
- The problem isn't the product
Today's pivot
Stopping all promotional posts.
Starting:
- Being genuinely helpful in communities
- Building relationships with other builders
- Engaging before expecting engagement
Question for IH:
Those who launched to silence - what worked for you after?
I'll keep posting honest updates. No vanity metrics, just reality.

Hey Sathish, saw your honest post about the launch silence. Respect for sharing the reality.
You are right the problem isn't the product, it's distribution.
The good news is that your audience (Psychiatric NPs) is extremely active on Reddit, constantly asking about jobs.
I can help you execute your community engagement plan on autopilot.
I have a tool that monitors these subreddits 24/7 for keywords like "Hiring PMHNP" or "Job advice".
I can send you a daily list of these direct leads. You can invite them to your platform instantly.
Want me to send you a sample list from the last week to fill up the board?
