from our last experience, I'd say it rather helped us to get investors than users. it seems like ProductHunt is a good source of early testers, but not so many of them are actually our target audience.

A launch on PH will likely give you a spike in website traffic and a certain number of leads or customers all at once, but it’s unlikely to be a constant source.

@elenat I agree

I think it definitely is, it will not only bring traffic but for some reason many other directories also list you for free - so it will also help in backlinking - if you have a successful launch

@shabb_katoch What analogues of the PH do you know and can you recommend?

I think that completely depends on your target audience and how many people you can reach with your launch.

I believe that's depend upon your customers and the product.

I think Product Hunt can be a great way to gain initial exposure, collect feedback and probably can gain long-term customers. However, its success depends heavily on the quality of product, the marketing strategy and the level of preparation. When everything is well-prepared, Product Hunt can be a powerful platform.

I believe it’s definitely a smart move. Not only will it drive traffic, but for some reason, many other directories also list you for free, which will help with backlinking—especially if you have a successful launch. Visit

For me, Product Hunt was a good source for early users. It's not huge customer base, but it definitely got us started.

Any "secret trick" to succeed on PH as a newcomer?
