I failed many times here's why

Hello Product Hunters Today I want to share something personal. In the past, I've tried to build startups many times. This is why I failed: Money was the most important thing I was focused on sales, not on delivery I was always distracted Now I'm trying again to build Zencal.io with the new brand new approach. Let's take a look Client first The most important thing for me now is my client's happiness. Why does that work? Because people like useful people. If you really help someone, they will help you. If you really support someone (without a hidden agenda), they will support you when you need it Delivery is King! If you're good at selling but can't keep your promises, you'll never build strong business relationships. I want to reassure people that they can count on me. I want to be predictable in what I promise. That's why I never promise anything I'm not sure about I'm focused I set myself a goal and I don't start something new until I've finished the previous one. This is something new for me, but it works. I have stopped thinking about the future when I have a clear goal for the present. What do you think? The new approach will give me a good outcome? By the way - I'm during a challenge "1k Twitter followers in 4 weeks". Please leave a follow if you like my content

What’s your real conversion outcome from a Product Hunt launch?

I m curious what Product Hunt launch results looked like in real terms for people here.

Not just upvotes or comments, but actual outcomes like:

  • site visits

  • signups

  • activated users

  • paid conversions

  • retention after the spike

If you re open to sharing, it would be interesting to know:

I raised prices by 40% and lost zero customers, here's the exact email I sent

I'd been putting this off for eight months. Every time I opened the pricing page I closed it again. Last month I finally did it 40% across all plans, grandfathered existing users for 60 days, and sent a plain-text email to 312 customers.

Zero churned. Three replied thanking me. One asked why I hadn't done it sooner.

The email wasn't clever. It was four paragraphs: what's changing, when, why (I was honest support load had tripled), and what stays the same. No "exciting news" language, no discount code to soften it.

I'm posting because I see a lot of "should I raise prices" threads and almost no "here's what actually happened" threads. So: what actually happened, with numbers.

Staying productive and motivated throughout the day can be a challenge (especially on a Monday)! I've heard of people using coffee, meditation, exercise, and everything in between to get through their day. So, what's your go-to method for staying productive and motivated throughout the day? Share your insights and thoughts!

How often should you post in the Product Hunt forums? [good nice to haves]

The answer depends on what you want to achieve.

  • If you want to stay top of mind for a constantly growing audience and increase visibility, post every day.

  • If you want to amplify your launch, focus on the period before, during, and after the launch.

    Before the launch, I would start with enough time in advance, around one month before, and I would personally post approximately (at least) twice a week.

  • But I think that in general, if you want to be visible within the forums, twice a week is bearable.
