    So you had a good launch on Product Hunt - what's next?

    I've been wondering this for a while myself - so I come to the community, especially those who had experienced this first hand, you had a great launch, you got a few hundred visitors on your product, perhaps even a few thousand visitors - what's next? In my experience, the visitors die down after a certain peak point and the product drifts into irrelevancy shortly after - how do you maintain? Especially if you're a bootstrapping solo indie maker? Do you relish in a few loyal customers that still use your site? Where do you market it after? What's the strategy? I've seen tons of Product Hunt launch guide, but rarely seen post-Product Hunt launch guides. I guess for some people its an obvious path, for me - not so much. So yeah, looking forward to some wisdom from the pros :)

    Ask yourself if the product you launched solves a real problem and if the problem you're trying to solve is big enough to require a solution (your product). The purpose of Product Hunt is not to get visitors to see your pretty website, but to let people know you have a solution for their problem, and to make them your clients. If there is no retention, then your product doesn't create enough value, meaning that you didn't find your product market fit, and you might want to think about if it's worth pushing it like that.
