Notes from a failed Product Hunt launch
After hours of reading best practices, crafting the perfect assets and assembling what felt like a bulletproof plan, we were ready to launch on Product Hunt. We worked so hard and genuinely believed we d wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge.
The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender.
Would you rather launch on a day packed with products or with as little competition as possible?
While preparing for our launch and browsing the upcoming launches, I asked myself what the best move would be for choosing a day:
1. Pick a day when you have less competition (e.g., fewer products and/or fewer similar products).
2. Pick the day where the most products are launched. More products = more teams pushing = more people likely to discover your product.
Has AI affected the way you recruit, assign tasks, or how many people you employ?
One week ago, I noticed in one Facebook group (nich : Graphic design) this discussion post:
TL;DR: Due to AI advancement, he receives 70% less work as a graphic designer freelancer.
