Product Hunt

“I remember the first day we saw about 20,000 unique visitors come to our website.”

“We launched sort of an early Mac prototype on Product Hunt in December of last year, and that actually ended up becoming the number three most upvoted product of all time on Product Hunt in one Mac after the year.”

“Yeah, I mean, also Sifter is still one of the 50 most upvoted products on product hunt, I think.”

“That was like 6000 plus.”

“When you get podcasts on the homepage, I mean, that was a huge traffic driver, not like they have their own sub page now for podcasts. And so there's not as much traffic as there was one where there was once, but”

“All of our traffic has been organic, and all of our acquisition has come from user referral, things like Product Hunt, Lifehacker”

“I think we ended the day like top three, we had hundreds of companies sign up.”

“Probably we added I said we had a 10,000 visitors from product hunt in the next two days, 600 signups. And I would say at 10% of them we can close. So it was like 60 new customers. If we calculate in terms of lifetime value, I think this will be close to like …”

“I think one of the things that a lot of those types of events, you know, you could feature an entrepreneur.com or anchor or those types of things we've had. We've had all of those things happen, and frequently they bring a bump in traffic frequently they don't…”

“What we did was we always try to launch something we call like a content stunt within every, basically like every six weeks. And that basically means something that is talk worthy enough for us to either get some PR, to have some, you know, viral effect value …”

“Product hunt is much more friendly in terms of letting people kind of glom on and being very sort of positive, like the community there in general is nicer, but it's the opposite of a long tail, right? Like you're not going to be able to bring it up in a lot o…”

“There's lots of things that do great on product hunt, and it was like the perfect kind of niche for that audience, but I couldn't really find a business model that worked with that.”

“I think Product Hunt is probably Better for kind of, like, building up the following, whereas Hacker News can be more of a kind of, yeah, you can plug away at lots of things, and it can either go sky high or nothing, so it's more of a black or white situation,…”

“We did see that like the churn from that particular cohort was significantly higher than our overall churn from all other cohorts.”

“Yeah, that's about right, actually. The interesting thing about product, yeah, so all that's true. We also got I don't know if I mentioned this in the article, it was like a lot of stuff, like a sub overwhelming amount of inbound VC interest from that.”

“So we got 8.2 hundred visitors, and it turned out that 300 signed up. Became users, and we had 31 sale, like 10% of people who signed up purchased with plan.”

“Got to number two, and I think in a couple of days that drove 2000 new subscribers.”

“They put us in their newsletter. They put us on their medium blog. They tweeted about us, put us on their Facebook. And then we won the hackathons. We were on the homepage of their website and, All of that resulted in thousands of people coming into the funnel…”

“Yeah, so I mean, that resulted in probably a thousand signups downloads, really, you know, it's translated into downloads. You know, I think we probably had at peak maybe like 500 people using the app on kind of a weekly basis.”

“And a lot of them were in, like, weird industries we didn't expect either, like Roche Healthcare, like kind of an enterprise healthcare company, not a fun, you know, remote-first startup. So yeah, they just found out about it through Product Hunt, downloaded t…”

“When we launched in March, we had 900 new teams sign up that week. So can't tell you what we did launch day, but That week we had 900 new teams.”

“I have right now, 79 paid subscribers, and so that, that's obviously all before Product Hunt, and have around almost that number of people that are on the trial currently.”

“So I got 2.8 K on the first day. And then yesterday I got another 1.5 K and about half of those were from product hunt.”

“Day of, I got 39 signups with credit card up front, and yesterday, so the day after, 26.”

“Speaking with my partners, you know, they're thinking much larger than they're saying, you know, in our first launch, when we do it properly through product home, through the correct mediums, we could go definitely to let's say a 100,000 the first month.”

“So one of the things we did, for example, was to launch a meeting calculator. It's on our website as well. And basically like you connect your Google calendar, and then you are going to see a lot of like stats around like your number of meetings, like the type…”

“I remember after product done, we went to 400 active users.”

“Like, 90% of the work is done in, in, in the four weeks before.”

“We had 6000 people on our email list.”

“And I think two months later, we already launched the MVP. So like the minimum viable product on product hunt, and we got to number five product of the day.”

“Fig was at the top of hack and use basically all day. Like it was a really long day for my co-founder and me, but that got us, I would say double if not triple the number of users from hack and use as opposed to product time.”

“Probably 20, 25 probably came from product hunt with the discount code that we provided.”

“Like the first week was like, I don't know, 2030, 20 companies.”

“We launched it on Product Hunt because like already there were people piling up with, you know, like the wait list for this grew to like, I think it grew to like thousands before we'd even shared that we're actually building it.”

“Literally, I think we got about, it would have been like maybe up to 50 paying customers in the first day. I don't know exactly.”

“Every, every 15th of the month, you know, marking from the anniversary of, you know, when we when we actually, you know, first released it on product hunt we launched a new version”

“But then in total with the launch, I would say like the effect of the launch, it lasts around like six weeks. And in six weeks, we got around 3000 new sign up. Thanks to the launch.”

“What we did is we took that, that product launch and then went to like, you know, Dave Gerhardt's community and sort of like started talking to sort of the marketing people there and then went to some of the sales communities and just started like literally pu…”

“So about two and a half years ago, we launched pre-product on Product Hunt, signed up roughly about 6000 early access users all from Product Hunt.”

“These thousand odd people, a couple thousand people is, is actually my community that I've been building over the past year and a half since I started SmartQ, right?”

“So for example, in September, when we launched our product hunt. We actually ended up being product of the day for, you know, a solo founder running a super lean team, no marketing team behind it.”

“I would say, yes, somewhere between like, 20 to 30 new users, and among those, some paying customers, I would say around 10%.”

“And at that time, we got like number one product of the day on Product Hunt. We also got a lot of positive feedback, first paying customers, first investors.”

“We also doubled our user base from 1500 to 3000 people in one day, so that was really like the first kind of push of growth that we needed.”

“We were like product number one for 23 hours of the day and then we kind of lost the spot in the last hour. We ended up product number four, but that was not really important.”

“We would reach out to them and do this over and over and over again for about half a year actually. So we had contacted thousands of people by called Outreach, and that is how we found our first users in a very non-scalable way.”

“Every day about thousand videos are created each day, 1000 videos being created since 14 of May, we launched it on Product Hunt, and since then we got over 20,000 created videos, lip sync videos.”

“But as we do more Product Hunt launches, the impact, unfortunately, is going down, and it's not as effective as it was before.”

“I think when you just started and you don't have a lot of choice, it's something good to do. But after like, we don't care if we are like eight in the day or tens when we launch again on product.”

“First of May. Third of July, someone told us like, guys, you should do a product hunt because at this time we had zero customers on the US and my co-founder and I decided to say like, we should change the strategy. We are going fully into the US.”
