Weren't you featured on Product Hunt? You still shouldn't give up. [Try it again]
I remember many people getting demotivated after not being featured and leaving the platform.
In my opinion, that's not the best idea.
Why?
One product shouldn't define your aversion to it in the future.
Once you build a community or personal brand, you can try again next time (for example, with a better product update) or with a different product.
You never know if the next one will be good enough to reach the top spots.
My recommendation for using the platform isn't only for validating a new product, but also for giving more visibility to an existing one. If you deliberately avoid the platform, you'll miss out on potential benefits.
You know what they say: the easiest thing is to give up, but if you don't try, you're not only risking nothing, you're also guaranteeing you gain nothing. Zero results.
What advice would you give to people who, despite not being featured, still found their way on this platform?
🚨 My tip: Connect with people who were featured and reached the top spots. Ask them what worked, study their product, and learn how to "copy success."
