Launched and got 40 upvotes
by Yi-Ning HuangI am so happy with many responses and many ❤️ I received during PhotoCopyThis launch day. I especially appreciated the support of my friends and family. You are the best!
This is the most successful launch I got so far - 40 upvotes on product hunt, I was #11 on the launch day. It does not mean a lot in terms of business because good business gets 3-4 digits upvotes, thousands of users on launch day.
However, I see myself growing so much as a product maker compares to what I was before:
- 2-4 years ago, I keep thinking about making products but I have no actions at all.
- 2 years ago, I built CampsiteWatch's prototype - I did not launch it at that time
- 1 year ago, I built DiscoverNP to practice my iOS skill, I learned a lot. I did not have an official launch plan.
- 3 months ago, I completed CampsiteWatch, I had a launch plan. I had a couple of social media marketing things I was trying to do. I launched it on product hunt. I learned that it is a product for a very specific community - I need to reach that community in order to get more feedback and be successful. (still trying to figure out how... any idea?)
I truly believe that I just need to put in my hours, show up every day, make mistakes, learn from mistakes, iterate it over and over again to become very good at what I am doing. I'll continue doing this - and one day I'll get 3-4 digits upvotes, thousands of users. 🎉

Hey! Awesome story and fantastic product idea. Just a heads up I can’t get the App Store link button to work on your website. I’m using an iPhone X in Chrome based in the UK

It's about growing by learning from failure. And you're on fire my friend.
Keep going for it. If it looks Harder than before, switch directions and focus on another endpoint. If it is getting better, keep going your going north 💪🏻💪🏻

Glad you did it finally Yi! 40 upvotes is a good number, most of the products on producthunt don't even cross 5. In that way, you're already at a good position :)

Well said. It's all about consistency and persistence :)
I used to think that I could create a successful product overnight, but I've come to realize that you can begin the creation of a successful product overnight but it still takes time and effort to grow the product and turn it into something successful.
As long as you're chipping away on your projects each day, you'll get to where you want to be.
