The most common question about Product Hunt + my reaction
Noticing the shift. A few months ago (maybe one year) the most common question I got was: "Will you hunt us?" For the last couple of weeks, I have been getting the question: "Does it make sense to launch on the Product Hunt?" My answer: Yes, but instead of aiming for the product of the day, try to improve the product + you can get the backlink. Times have changed. I have never heard someone say: "People bought my product because I was a product of the day." People pay for the value of the product, not for the 250 x 54 px badge. 1 Get the feedback 2 Improve your product according to the feedback 3 Earn domain authority with the "do follow" link 4 Get extra visibility 5 Win if you want (but the success will be to be featured) + Have a look at other products (you can also apply reciprocity and truly help other people to improve their products)
