VSUAL Finished #5 Product of the Day
by Charlie ClarkReally pleased with our Product Hunt launch yesterday! We finished #5 top product of the day with ~50 new user signups, ~20 seller applications and 3 prints sold (2 unframed, 1 framed). Got lots of really great questions and positive feedback. I'm really hoping that this activity will stay somewhat sustained, and not just be a blip 🤞
Some learnings:
- Posting right at 12:01 PST seemed to work well. We got on the front page right away and stayed there
- It meant staying up most of the night, but I think it was important to be online to answer questions quickly. It made the post feel like there was some activity.
- Share everywhere! I really tried to share the post as much as possible, and encouraged people to vote by saying "we're on the front page of PH and we want to stay there!" I used liinks.co to link out to the post on all my social channels.
- I sort of have no idea how PHs ranking algorithms work. We ended up ranked higher on the page than a few other posts with more upvotes. Unclear if this is based on a trending score, or if PH weights upvotes based on account credibility etc...
Anyways, all in all, really happy with how this went and excited for what comes next!
