Is launching on Product Hunt worth it?

by

There's so much out there on HOW to launch here on PH, but not so much of a discussion on whether it's worth the effort. After our launch where we took #1 product of the day, I sat down to run an analysis on whether it was worth it or not. Put all our findings here: https://www.alpeaudio.com/post/i... Curious to hear your thoughts on this topic!

Thanks for sharing this experience, @yehoshua_zlotogorski ! I'll definitely try those tips for the next launch. A real shame that you cannot re-launch the product again, as we've done it very spontaneously with the team and certainly didn't get the whole launch effect. Do you know what can be done in order to get more engagement post-launch?

@weronika_spaleniak Thanks! Glad it’s helping. you actually can “re launch” by simply launching a slightly different variation or feature. If you search for “Descript “ they have several different launches. Figma launches features fairly often as well. Even Spotify launched podcasts :-) So definitely can launch again and double down. In fact I’ve found that engaging with the PH community Long term is beneficial far more than a “one and done” since you Gain followers after each launch etc

@yehoshua_zlotogorski thanks a lot! We're going to re-launch then. And yeah, I've already started to engage in the community. So many cool topics and people there!

Great writeup. To be honest, the video was the best part and made it all worth it.
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@liz_cohen it’s also the part that was hardest to do 😅

Splendidly written. A landmark contribution to launching on Product Hunt. Before I read your article I was under the impression that unless you already have a huge community of followers, getting on top of Product Hunt will be a constant battle. Thanks for clearing the mist.
Abderisak
@dsarkar I agree, I had a similar impression before reading the article.
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@avidnote @dsarkar it’s definitely much harder since less friends have “good” profiles but it is doable - You just need a battle plan

Nice breakdown. We did a launch last Thursday, and more reflections to come. Loved the part about value vs expectations.
Yehoshua Zlotogorski
@eugenehp Please do share once you've wrapped up :-), it's really one of the parts that I haven't found enough information on that I think many can find value in
