You didn't get the 🥇 title but may be you came close 🥈 & 🥉 product of the day.

Does that still bring value to a Product. Please share your thoughts or experience ✨

I think so, being 2nd or 3rd does not mean being bad, but just that there is a launch that interests the community more

Daniel Engels · Answer

absolutely. Any position in the top5 is a success and brings visibility.

Devluc · Answer

Of course. I had a 3rd place product and the PH launch brought in many visitors. 10x more than a regular week. Also a couple of sales. It's worth it even for lower places

I think the important thing is how many people your product could reach. The badges are cool, yes, but at the end of the day, you must reach the people and earn clients or users.

We were in the 6th position. Did not get any reward but it was still a really good launch! We got noticed by many people.

Our product is B2B and we got 15+ demo requests during the week after the launch. Also, we were featured by PH in the newsletter and on Twitter.

So, yes, it's totally okay even not to get any reward. But try to do your best!

I would take anything close to the top 3, its a great opportunity to see if you have a conversion friendly setup and to watch traffic move through your website

very humble way of looking at it thanks @fares_aktouf

Cortney · Answer

Launching on Product Hunt always provides value even to products that might not be anywhere near the top of the list. The launch process makes Makers really think about their brand and any result shows how much interest there is or isn't based on so many factors that even a "bad" showing on PH can be used to make the product, branding, and communication better. Sometimes, failure is the fastest way to learn.

Daniel Weisman · Answer

I heard that the goal should be first page... but I really don't know.

Paul VanZandt · Answer

I think it does especially because these products get almost as much visibility as the #1 slot. I'm not sure how it compares in terms of interactions but I don't think it's anything to scoff at.

Arun Pariyar · Answer

Glad to hear that you had a positive outsome from your launch @luciantartea. Thanks for sharing 👍

Arun Pariyar · Answer

You are right about that @paul_vanzandt exposure wise all products launched get the same amount of chance for interaction. That it itself is the advantage of launching on PH for sure 🧞‍♂️

Arun Pariyar · Answer

Hi @dylan_merideth, I am yet to be on the other side as product maker just yet but I am starting to see what you have mentioned here. It is indeed a great platform to get early adopter and generate product value 💪

Kazimieras Melaika · Answer

I think top 5 is the goal for everyone. Brings the most visibility!
