We know this situation exists, but not many people are openly talking about it.

Being in a highly competitive entrepreneurial environment is challenging on many levels... not only in terms of sales and business growth, but also legal responsibilities, administration, and often handling most things independently, all while managing family and personal stuff.

Hi Product Hunt. I am Elitza and I am the founder of own.page. We launched on Product Hunt 20 days ago, and since then, it has brought us more than 1,900 signups.

I waited a long time before launching own.page here. Not because I didn t want to, actually, I wanted it a lot. But Product Hunt always felt like one of those big platforms where, if things go well, it can really change the momentum of a product. And because of that, I kept delaying it. For more than 6 months. I was thinking too much. What if the day is too competitive? What if nobody cares? What if we launch and nothing happens?

On X, I often saw people saying Product Hunt is dead. That it doesn t bring traffic anymore. That launches don t matter like they used to. But still, I wanted to do it no matter what people are saying. Before this, I had launched own.page on smaller launchpads. And yes, they helped. They brought some users, some traffic, some attention. I m grateful for that. But honestly it was nothing like Product Hunt.
