MakerBox was our first Indie product. And its launch went amazing! Facts speak for themselves: $1500+ in revenue and #4 Product of the Week And of course (😅) we wrote an article about it! We covered what worked really well for us and what didn’t. Only practical tips for Indie Entrepreneurs. https://medium.com/@dan_kulkov/h... Share your tips for a Product Hunt launch. What worked really well for you?

What advice you have for a product which is already launched? Is it a good idea to keep it free for a while? Or will it set-up an expectations that product will be free down the line and act as an hinderance if a charge has to be applied?

Dan Kulkov @kronop

@zoon_s I think this problem could be solved with accurate messaging. There is no problem with Free plans, only how people view them. So just double-down on user research 🔥

Sveta Bay @basv

Golden rule - always show the product to users before launch 👀 And don't ignore their feedback

Tanmay M @tanmaymakode

@basv Yes 100%, I basically share sneak peek of the product before launch to create a hype 🚀
