The sad story of NOT being featured on Product Hunt😔

by•

This is my second time launching on Product Hunt. The first time, my product was featured on the homepage, and I've had great results from the start. I even hosted a webinar to share how I reached the #5 position (let me know if you want the presentation). But this time, it's different. I reached out to the support team but haven't received a response. I always follow the rules, so I'm feeling disappointed, to be honest. You can track the results here: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Launching soon!
There is always a little luck involved with everything in life! Remember that you'll always get some exposure even if your launch doesn't pan out the way you'd hoped! Keep building!!
@jonwesselink Sure. Even if it's not exactly a matter of luck in this case :)

Hey there, I can totally understand how frustrating it must be not to get the spotlight you were hoping for on Product Hunt. It sounds like you put a lot of effort into following the guidelines and reaching out for help, so it's a bummer not to see the same success as last time. Keep your chin up though, every launch is a learning experience! Maybe this setback will just be a plot twist in your success story 😉 Remember, the PH community is always here to support you, even if the homepage feature eludes us this time around. Hang in there!

I personally think it is nice that people also share their less successful stories, and I do wish you still get the best out of this experience💪🏼 Ps the product is great😉

How does one get featured on the homepage? By being upvoted enough?
@andreiciulinaru That's the thing.. it's Product Hunt's decision. No explenation

What does it mean to be featured? Like after you launch or before you launch? Also thanks for sharing your experience!
@atticusli On the homepage there is a "Featured" section

Its sad, I launched today and my product didn't get featured. I followed all the rules and created my launch 1 week in advance. Inspite of not getting features, we have very good number of upvotes. I feel very sad, put so much effort into the launch.
