1st PH launch concluded few hrs back - Quick insights

by

MarketFit's PH launch just concluded few hrs back (i.e. on Sep 28).

A big thanks to everyone who cheered us and gave us feedback.

We christened Sep 28 as “Don’t Sell. Solve Problems” day and many endorsed this idea.

We were happy to end at rank #9, just after the 8 featured products :

  • #9 indicated the immense love we got vs a couple of hundred launches.

  • Top (#1) among non-featured products was just great.

  • Comments from the community/users, not just on launch day but also in few other threads in the launch week, showed the interest/approval for MarketFit…that was exactly what we were looking for. So, the core goal was achieved even before launch.

Some observations / things we were not aware of:

  • Featured products get an initial bump-up of about 50 to 60 points to start the day. Funny that we didn’t know this even though we were hoping to get featured considering good pre-launch followers list and the feedback of users on novelty, usefulness, UX and creatives/videos.

  • Featured products are the only ones that show up by default even after the first 4 hrs. On the PH website, you can toggle from featured to ‘all’ to see all products but on mobile app, you cannot see non-featured products unless you search for them. Some PH followers couldn’t find us due to that and we didn’t know.

All in all. It was good fun, great networking opportunity, and a big market-validation of MarketFit.

Core goals achieved. Back to solving now 😊.

After all, nothing beats the joy of solving and watching a delighted customer.

That's the core reason why I created "Mega Impacts" (the makers of MarketFit).

Note that MarketFit has a free plan (no credit card required, no installation required and you can start using it in just 20 seconds).

Congrats on the launch and hitting #9!

That’s a strong outcome, especially without being featured. Really interesting insight about the featured vs. non-featured visibility gap, I hadn’t realized how big of a difference that makes.

Now that you’ve seen how PH works from the inside, would you approach your next launch any differently?

@andreitudor14 i too wasn’t aware of that much difference. Next launch would be just a bit different and not too much. Not planning it right now though :)

Congrats on the launch, @manu_goel2 !

Hitting #9 is a big win. Love your insight about featured vs. non-featured visibility. It’s a behind-the-scenes detail every new maker should know – including me.
Cheers to solving real challenges and iterating with user feedback!

Congratulations on your launch! Curious, how did you build up your pre-launch follower list?

Manu Goel

@maryam_khalid3 It was just through meaningful engagement with the community over forums.

What key feedback from the launch are you planning to act on first?

Manu Goel

@kenn_williams Interestingly, the main feedback was around content - we just recorded a new intro video today that we are expecting to upload in next 2 days. Another one is around bringing our ROI calculator to the front...we haven't even talked about it till now.

Interesting observation about the featured vs non-featured visibility. Did you feel that changed how much traffic you got post-launch?

Manu Goel

@abod_rehman Yes, the visibility itself was blocked so traffic is majorly impacted.
