Ask HN: Should I pay Product Hunt to promote my newsletter?

4 points by eibrahim 8y ago

I subscribe to the Product Hunt daily newsletter and anyone can sponsor a newsletter edition. I have a weekly newsletter called Frontend Weekly at http://frontendweekly.co/ and I was wondering if it would be worth it to spend money to sponsor the PH Daily Newsletter. Keep in mind that: - it's expensive to sponsor one edition. - I have been curating my newsletter as a fun side project but I think it has some growth potential (and possibly revenue potential). Thanks.

How much does it cost to sponsor 1 edition?

  They sent me the info by email but I am not sure they would want to post it publicly here. Let me clear it with them first before I post it here. Thanks.

People still read Product Hunt? ...There's your answer. It's not worth it to invest with them. Try growing more organically on Twitter. Consider starting a YouTube channel too.

  I didn't know PH is not cool anymore :). I just get the daily newsletter to keep tabs on any new/cool products.

    > I didn't know PH is not cool anymore Well, they did get acquired by AngelList. PH isn't really seen as a credible source of cool products anymore since they supposedly can rearrange the top content based on who's paying AngelList the most money.

It's hard to say without seeing the numbers, but I think you'd be better off finding a newsletter that is tangentially related and swapping links. Maybe a user experience or usability newsletter?
