$4.2k sales in less than 2 weeks.

The week after your PH launch is always a make or break. You go from such a high to a low in terms of both sales and your mindset. It's important to not just rely on PH, you NEED to think of ways to monetise through other sources.

I'm happy to see sales still trickling in. Makes me even happier when a lot of them are through word of mouth.

    So what is your next step after Product Hunt traffic ebbs? Or better, even before that happens.

      I stay here with you: the « after-PH » is a good story to follow 🙌🏻

          My pleasure !

          How is it going so far with your post-producthuntum syndrom ? :)

          I am kidding, but in reality : I feel the pain ...

          Keep it up !

            Thanks dude.

            $5K sales so far this month.

            I'm not fooling myself thinking next month will be the same.

            Will have to work VERY hard to hit half that but remain optimistic :)

      Next step is to look for different ways to drive traffic. So the most obvious solution is to create as much content around idea generation as possible.

        create as much content around idea generation

        Can you explain what you mean by that? Do you want to generate ideas or content? How do you do that?

        1. 2

          I run a few twitter accounts around idea generation
          https://twitter.com/fiveideasaday
          https://twitter.com/ideasdrop
          https://twitter.com/tipsforideas

          So my goal is to drive as much traffic to my gumroad link via social accounts.
