When you signed up for the Product Hunt and ran a campaign, did you get any of these benefits?
I want to know about the campaign's success and your presence on the Product Hunt.
If it brought you paying customers or investors, VC funds, can you share the number, please? Specify in the comment section.

Mostly visibility, little revenue.

@rbatista19 revenue from that launch? It is success because to sell something is quite hard :)
@busmark_w_nika the proportion revenue over upvotes is minimal, the PH audience is not the buyers, it is the builders.
Speaking for myself when I launched there for the first time β it brought me The combination of mentioned above (Paid customers β not so many and Increased visibility).
@busmark_w_nika increased visibility so far!
@mehtab__faiz can you share any track records? Like approximate (eg. 100 visits per day etc.?)
Launching soon!
@mehtab__faiz @busmark_w_nika Same! We have our record on users with the launch, 100 user in 2 days
@mehtab__faiz wow, is that 15-20% increase every day?
@mehtab__faiz @pabloroig_clous what about paying customers?
@maurizioisendoorn yes! We began our journey from scratch, and now we've successfully increased our visibility by 15-20%/day on average.
I've found visibility. It ain't ideal, but it's better than nothing :)
@adrian_m_peticila Do you have numbers you can share publicly or rather not?
@busmark_w_nika - I'd approximate an average of 7 DMs/day on LinkedIn from people who found me on PH. Most of them are people asking for my support for their launch, but a small percentage are interested in my services and get on my prospects/clients roster
@adrian_m_peticila That case with people asking for upvoting is also a thing for me. The influx of messages in the inbox. On Twitter and emails as well, some of them started to message me on Instagram so I unlinked it in my profile. ππ
@busmark_w_nika - I agree - it's a constant stream of "pls support my launch" :)
I don't really mind it as long as they're friendly and well behaved - we all need a helping hand when starting off.
@adrian_m_peticila yeah, the way other people present themselves or their project matters. Sometimes I receive something like: Hey, Do you wanna hunt us? (those guys appeared from nothing like: you are the first thing that came to our minds). Not very pleasurable to me :D
Insightful survey, love this.
@callum_jones1 Have participated yet? π
@busmark_w_nika yup ππ»ββοΈ
My first launch didn't have any monetisation - but it was my most popular launch. I got tons of traffic on it.
For my second and third launch, I didn't get as much visibility, but I got paid customers and great feedback!
@wisanishilumanimakes Which launch do you mean? Can you share it? Plus β when are you about to launch next? I can see that soon, but do not know when :D
Increased visibility for sure.
Not sure about paid customers, everyone that registered will be in free trial for 14 days and I'm not sure if I reached a lot of people here for my projects niche.
Nonetheless, i got some feedback which is one of the most important things for me
@pedrofonseca17 Is the feedback complex? Like adding features or things that you can improve?
@busmark_w_nika Not super super complex, but definitely some new features that potential user with pets would like to see on the app.
@pedrofonseca17 how did you collect the feedback? LI message? Mail? survey form?
@busmark_w_nika Mostly email and some comments on the launch
@pedrofonseca17 Thanks for specifying :)
Absolutely, Product Hunt has been a game-changer for my project, driving visibility and user engagement significantly. The platform's community feedback has also been invaluable for refining our product features.
Launching soon!
I saw OctoMind that launched like a month ago and got 3rd spot: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... just raised $4.8m in seed. Relevant announcement: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/a...
@sentry_co don't have access to that post β was it the result of that particular launch?
@sentry_co The same thing:

@busmark_w_nika And I mean, its the result of a good product + traction. But product hunt probably kickstarted the traction a bit? @marc_mengler @daniel_rodler @germandrummer92 (and congrats with raising seed guys π)
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika Im stilla linkedin rookie okay! π here is the blog post: https://www.octomind.dev/blog/oc...
@sentry_co direct press release link here: https://www.octomind.dev/blog/oc...
We got some additional traffic but it wasn't life-changing ;) Hopefully next launch goes better!
@paulinahryniewicz what numbers did you expect?
Can't wait for the results!
@boris_moris44 Me too. I will be sharing that.
Launching soon!
Absolutely, Product Hunt has been a game-changer for us, significantly boosting our visibility and driving targeted traffic to our site. The community engagement and feedback have been invaluable for refining our marketing strategies.
increased users
@jammieruo can you share the figures? (eg % or numbers)
@busmark_w_nika more than votes
hope I can increase my upvote so I can manage to have long term clients!
@kilopolki it can help to visibility and maybe increase chances for selling but IMO selling happens when people really see the value to them.
Hi Nika! I'll let you know after we launch next week for sure.. if you could follow our upcoming launch that'd be great, especially if you like online auctions!
@busmark_w_nika @proproffr has the teaser link! Would love your feedback especially if you like auctions and marketplaces.
@proproffr Thanks for keeping me updated. Share link please.
Significant trafic
