Congrats on the launch
> Actually, we had also launched our Beta version for the first time last summer, but that was just a "submit and forget" type of launch. As you can expect, we got zero traffic from that.
You shared the results achieved from the second launch but it's not clear from the post what you did differently this time
- dividendport 2y agoGood question! Let me add to that. During last summer, we did not yet have any audience on any of the social platforms. The biggest difference now is actually having some sort of audience and user base. If anyone is thinking about launching soon, I would encourage you to build up your user base a bit and have your social media accounts set up and active. In addition to your product's social media accounts, it's easier to build an audience if you are active on social platforms yourself. That's why having your own profiles linked to your product is a great way to build trust. Secondly, most of the upvotes and engagement come from the existing Product Hunt community. Not everyone wants to sign up for a service just to leave an upvote or comment. Some do, yes, but also focus on commenting, posting, and connecting on Product Hunt. This feels forced, I know, but it's how Product Hunt works.
