I've always thought that the best way to launch is a Show HN and a reddit post on some related subreddits. Is this a better option for the launch of a productivity app?
Surely a productivity app launch can't be that interesting for news.
- atYevP 9y agoYev from Backblaze here -> ProductHunt is also pretty popular for productivity apps and similar items, though backup may not necessarily fall in to the realm of things folks are used to seeing on those sites. (Edit - formatting)
- jpster 9y ago+1 for ProductHunt and you might try LifeHacker, too.
- codingdave 9y agoI've found reddit to be a questionable place to get customers. Traffic, sure, but customers? Not so much. If you want to spike up your traffic for a few hours, post on reddit. But the conversation rates from reddit traffic are a fraction of the rates coming from other sources, in my experience.
- faizshah 9y agoI've read many posts that suggest your same conclusion, however people seem to have very positive things to say about reddit ads in terms of conversion rate.
- VladimirGolovin 9y ago> Surely a productivity app launch can't be that interesting for news. This is exactly my challenge: I'm launching a todo list app soon. Thankfully, I have a potentially interesting story to tell: "Matterlist: an angry Russian writes a 300-page spec, spends 3 years to create a perfect Wunderlist replacement".
