Our first Product Hunt launch got 63 upvotes and no badge.

by•

We launched here on August 25. It finds the cloud credits, AI credits and accelerators a startup actually qualifies for.

The result: 63 upvotes, 19 comments, three 5-star reviews, and no badge.

Looking back at our launch page, the gaps are obvious:

• No video, just seven images

• We listed Marketing as a topic, which isn't who the product is for

• We hadn't posted once in our own product forum before launch day

• Our first comment explained the product but never told the story behind it

What we're doing for the relaunch:

• A launch video that tells a founder's story first, then shows the product

• Starting conversations here before launch day, not on it

• A first comment that opens with the rejection email every founder knows

If you've relaunched on Product Hunt, what made the biggest difference the second time?
