I run a side project in the language learning space, and I received this email below a few days ago:

Hi XXX team,
We've had some interest about advertising on our homepage ahead of our Product Hunt launch on Friday and we thought we'd open up the opportunity to everybody. Have a look at the site and let us know if you're interested in any available space.

Best,

- graylien 8y agoHey, to clear things up we weren't looking for money as we have no stats or anything. We were only looking to feature decent products, and it's nice to work with people we are featuring. Thanks for the feedback though! Now we are crowdsourced and anybody can submit resources.
