Why do 90% of PH launches ghost their signups?

Genuine question for makers who've launched here.

I browse PH almost daily. I upvote stuff, sign up on launch day, leave comments. Then 3 days later I want to use a tool and can't remember the name.

How do you write email product updates that users actually enjoy?

I keep finding reasons to build more features and bug fixes before sending an email update to our 10k users. In the end, it s been almost 5 months without sending any update. Would love your tips on how to send email updates that the users actually enjoy and care about. Also at what frequency? As a developer I love bare change logs but I m sure it s not optimal for a broader audience. (we are building a video editing app, tellers.ai)

How much are you losing in platform fees selling digital products?

I got frustrated watching 10% disappear on every digital sale I made. So I built my own platform.

Launching PayLink on Product Hunt this Tuesday the simplest way to sell digital products with just a 3% fee and no monthly costs.

Curious from this community what's the biggest frustration you have with platforms like Gumroad, Etsy or Teachable? What would make you switch?

Would love to hear from anyone selling digital products.

Newsletter dilemma – do you delete inactive subscribers or reactivate them?

Email campaigns are one of the better ways to establish a more personal connection with people.

On the other hand, I understand that if someone subscribes to 5,000 newsletters, they don t have time to open  let alone read all of them. As a result, they might not open your emails for an extended period (e.g., 3 months, 6 months, etc.).

We lost a $50M deal. Here’s why—and what I learned.

A few years ago, while working full-time with an IT services firm, we lost a $50M deal with a leading telco in the GCC.

We had built early rapport with the head of their technical team.

So much so, we deployed senior solutioning leaders into their office for over a year.

Our team helped:
