๐Ÿ“ˆ Traffic Numbers after a successful Product Hunt launch - Top 5 Product of The Day

byโ€ข

Hi folks. Yesterday, I got featured with my latest app, and I made it to Top 5 Products of the day ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I won't share my app's link here. That is not the goal. I just wanted to share some traffic numbers and insights, so you have a realistic expectation of traffic once you make it, too :)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Insights

  • Don't try to build something that gets featured. Build something that solves a problem.

  • Don't stress about getting featured.

  • If you don't get featured, it does not mean your product is not good enough. I have launched multiple times and did not get featured every time.

  • As a solopreneur, I'm very time-efficient, so I tell you this: Don't waste weeks/months preparing for the launch. It is Pointless.

  • You can check my product launch and copy the design of the Images/Media I used. I also copied the design from other successful products. I just added my touch, colours, product info, etc. The structure, though, you can copy. It is clean and straightforward.

  • Don't buy scammers upvotes. I was watching my launch closely, and a couple of products got banned because they did just that.

  • Make sure your first comment on your launch page is clear and explains the product's value and the problem it solves. Don't get creative. Just be straightforward. Again, check mine. I used others to structure mine.

  • A few days before launch share your app with users who fit 100% your target user persona. Listen to their feedback and iterate. That will help you have a smooth product ready to be used. Shout out to @busmark_w_nika & @julia_zakharova2 for supporting me with this.

  • Engage with the comments people leave on your page โ€“ every single one of them. They check your creation and deserve your attention.


All in all, a Product Hunt launch is a great thing to do if you are building apps. Gives you a lot of exposure in a short amount of time. At the end of the day is not PH's job to bring you customers or anything like that. If you get 1,000 visitors and nobody signs up, it does not mean PH is bad. This means you need to iterate. However, if you don't get featured, it does not mean your product is bad. That's why you should not stress about it. I know I didn't. Just a couple of days of effort, that's all.


I'm launching a new app soon ;)

Ask me anything in the comments regarding my launch, and I am happy to support :)

Just out of curiosity, did you build a community in other channels to support you and get voted on the day of launch? Which channel performed better? or did you just respond to the PH enthusiasts? Thanks for your insights!

@theonebrokerย Hi Olga! No i did not use any other channels to support my launch. However, the Hunter of my launch, Julia, did share it in her community so I got some traffic from there as well, like 40-50 votes or something around that.

@cryptosymposiumย Wow, thanks for sharing! Even more motivated! From what I found here, PH launch should be strongly supported by the community and no winning the product of the day is lack of community. On the other hand, to build a strong and motivated community can take months and all that together will lead to losing the time, postponing the launch and maybe losing the right moment to be on the market in general.
